All items for sale are handmade and made-to-order once payment is received. If you need to cancel your order please do so immediately. Cancellations will not be made once production of your order has started. Thank you!

GEORGIA RESIDENTS - There is a 7% sales tax on the products as well as any shipping costs, per Georgia tax laws.

{PRODUCTION TIME}

All items for sale are designed, printed and prepared one-at-a-time (made to order) in my home studio in Georgia, and are truly hand crafted and original merchandise. Please allow 1-3* days for production; occasionally more (Delays are to be expected during higher volume mailing periods such as Christmas when production may take 7 days). Production begins once payment clears and when proof approval is received on custom designs, if applicable. If there are any delays, we will notify you by email. If you need your order by a certain date Convo us and we'll see if it can be arranged. (*Unless a SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT notes otherwise).

If a customer fails to provide all the proper information (customization details) during Checkout, the 1-3 days for production prior to shipping does not apply.



{SHIPPING}

PDF DOWNLOADS will be available for download through Etsy immediately upon payment. A link to the file will be sent to your email by Etsy.

PHONE CASES & OTHER PRODUCTS
Once you submit your order (and approve your artwork, if applicable), your order goes into production and at that point there's slim chance of your being able to make changes. We are unable to cancel orders once the production process has been started.


►► USA DOMESTIC:
Orders will be mailed to the address listed on ETSY. Please contact me immediately if you need your order shipped to a different address.

Shipping time will vary depending on your location; in the US please allow 3-5 business days for transit by USPS First Class Mail, although usually it only takes 3 days to reach anywhere within the USA from Georgia. Shipping delays by USPS are to be expected during higher volume mailing periods.

►SHIPPING UPGRADES – for faster shipping, upgrade to your shipping to Priority or Priority Express Mail.

Neither the US Post Office nor I can guarantee delivery times, but tracking information is included with all US orders.

Address Errors: You will be responsible for additional shipping charges (same cost as original purchase) if your order is returned to us due to an incorrect address and you would like it reshipped.


►► INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
Please allow 1-6 weeks for Airmail shipping and customs. Unfortunately we cannot estimate or guarantee delivery dates when shipping outside the US. Customers are responsible for any taxes, duties or tariffs imposed by your country. Customs forms cannot be marked as "Gift". Etsy's shipping system automatically marks all custom forms as "Merchandise." We cannot be responsible for INTL packages that get lost in the mail. Purchase at your own risk. Thank you!

Shipping prices are based on packaging cost, shipping and handling. If you would like to add insurance please let me know PRIOR to purchase. Your order will be shipped automatically to the shipping address on your Etsy account unless otherwise noted in the Notes to Seller at Checkout..

Please also keep in mind that holidays and/or weekends may cause a slight delay in shipping time as well. Order modifications and custom orders may take longer to process.

Lil Stinker Design is not responsible for missing packages due to an incorrect address or any loss or damage which occurs by the USPS after being shipped.

Orders arrive tastefully gift wrapped inside of a padded envelope.

{REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES}

I do have a general “No Returns” policy because 95% of the products offered by Lil Stinker Design are custom and/or made-to-order. There will be variations in each item as they are one of a kind, made for you. Please also remember that colors may appear different in real life than they do on a computer screen, due to variations in computer monitor calibrations.

PDF DOWNLOADS - No returns, cancellations or exchanges due to the nature of the product.

PHONE CASES & OTHER PRODUCTS
Lil Stinker Design provides free proofs prior to production to minimize errors in production (other than during the holidays) and by packaging products in bubble wrap mailers to minimize shipping issues. Unfortunately, mistakes happen. Please contact us as soon as you receive your order to report any concerns and provide 1-2 photos of the problem. NOTE: NO PROOFS ARE PROVIDED DURING THE CHRISTMAS SEASON (OCTOBER - DECEMBER).

{Issues due to SELLER error}

Please send us an Etsy message including at least 2 photos of the issues upon receiving the package. We will gladly exchange your item (with the same exact item replacement), provided proof is shown in a reasonable amount of time. All returns must be mailed back within 7 days, and in the original, unused condition in which it was mailed to you.

Lil Stinker Design is not responsible for missing packages due to an incorrect address or any delays, loss or damage which occurs after being shipped. In other words, Lil Stinker Design is not responsible for USPS HANDLING. If the item is lost in shipping, please allow up to 3 weeks domestically prior to requesting a replacement in order to allow the USPS time to deliver. In the meantime, you're welcome to contact the USPS to report a lost package.


{Issues due to BUYER error}

Refunds and exchanges will not be provided due to mistakes caused by the BUYER during Checkout, during the proof approval process, or damage due to use.

► Error at Checkout: Purchased incorrect phone device type, case size, case style or color, providing Inaccurate or incomplete information, misspelled information for personalization, improper monogram order, or providing wrong shipping address. Designs on the products are permanent and cannot be changed or altered, once produced. Please double check all information in the order prior to Checkout.

►Orders will ONLY be shipped to the address provided through Etsy or Paypal at checkout and CANNOT be mailed to an alternate address provided after purchase. Addresses provided by email after purchase cannot not be used.

► Art approval process: The reason Lil Stinker Design takes time to create and send proofs to clients, and await their approval, is to ensure that everything is correct prior to printing. If there is an error in the artwork and the customer approved the artwork that way, then any replacements will be paid for by the customer, in its entirety. Designs that do not "turn out as you had imagined" (i.e color and/or font combinations) are not subject to returns, exchanges or refunds. **Please double-check your order. Returns will not be provided for buyer errors.

Art proofs are NOT PROVIDED during the holiday season (October - December). Ensure your text is correct prior to submitting order. No refunds or replacements will be provided when text is incorrectly provided at checkout.

► Use or misuse: We cannot replace cases for normal wear and tear, scuffs or scratches, for getting dirty, acquiring stains, or breaks and cracks from being dropped. Customers are responsible for the care of their phones and phone cases once purchased.

Ornaments will be replaced if broken during shipping. Photos of the broken ornament must be provided by email. Replacement orders will be created using the same order as originally submitted through Etsy.


{Issues due to DEFECTIVE PRODUCT}

We will guarantee your phone case for up to 30 days from date of purchase for defects in the case itself. Cases past 30 days will not be covered for replacement, as we assume the case will have signs of normal wear and tear after this time period.

Colors will vary slightly from what is seen on your individual monitor. This is to be expected. I cannot accept returns due to this variation unless there was a gross misrepresentation of color (ie. Customer ordered blue but received green).

If an item is defective, I request verification of the defect via return or by sending photos. Contact me before returning an item. Shipping and handling, Paypal fees and Etsy fees will be NOT refunded.

On a case by case basis, there may be consideration for a full refund, a price adjustment, or a coupon code towards a future order if you are disappointed in my products or service, or if extenuating circumstances surrounding your order dictate an adjustment. Most of all, please know that I am reasonable and am willing to listen if you have a complaint. It is my purpose to ensure that you are happy with Lil Stinker Design's products and customer service. Please send me an email with your concern prior to leaving feedback.

Finally, LIl Stinker Design does not warranty your phone against damage or breakage. You are responsible for the care of, insurance and replacements of your own electronic device.

{ORNAMENT DESCRIPTION}

• Ornaments are approximately 3 inches round and are flat, "coin-shaped" and are not spheres.
• Ornaments are either ceramic or porcelain disks, with artwork imprinted permanently on BOTH SIDES (this is unique to this shop as most sellers of ornaments only provide artwork on one side).


{PHONE CASE OPTIONS}

See the PHOTO DESCRIPTION of each style of case available under the main photo in the listing (use the magnifying glass to enlarge the image).


{GENERAL DESCRIPTION}

• Compatible with all major service carriers – ATT, Verizon or Sprint, T-Mobile
• An inexpensive and fun way to accessorize your phone, or a great gift idea for any occasion.
• Durable metal back – Using a unique transfer process, special printers and inks, the image is permanently infused into a metal plate that will not fade, peel off, rub off, or easily scratch, while also providing vibrant colors & distinct details. Images are printed and are not real (ie. no real wood or glitter are on cases).
• Easy access for headsets, charger cable, and mobile credit card charge device, etc.
• The white plastic and white tough iPhone cases have black rimmed camera holes to minimize flash distortion.
• Arrives tastefully gift wrapped inside of a padded envelope.
• Because the cases are different sizes the artwork design will fit a little differently on each one.
• Some designs don't work as well on Galaxy cases. Ask me if in doubt.
• Please keep in mind that the final product may vary slightly from that pictured due to monitor variations and because each case is handmade and made to order! I do try very hard to accurately represent my product through photographs and its description. I want you to love your special piece and come back for more!

►►PLASTIC

• Pros: Created more for looks than protection. For the budget minded. Snap-on slim hard case. Light weight. Smooth and glossy & will slide in & out of skinny jeans. White cases stay white.
• Cons: It's plastic (fragile). More parts of phone are exposed. Minimal protection. Very little screen protection on front.

►►RUBBER

• Pros: Fit is very snug. Finish is smooth and cushiony. Comfortable. Offers better protection than the plastic. Has a "lip" to provide some screen "face down" protection.
• Cons: White rubber will absorb dirt over time. You can remove case from phone, and hand wash with detergent to improve appearance but it will not be pure white again once it's gotten dirty. Speed and color of staining varies by user. Replacements are not provided for stained cases.

►►TOUGH

• Pros: Two Part cases (Currently available for all phones carried other than the Galaxy S3). A black rubber liner surrounds your phone that serves as a bumper and provides a soft, impact absorbing protective layer to the inside of your cover. A hard plastic shell goes over the liner to provide the most protection of all phone styles offered. Inner liner and shell overlap the screen for better protection of front.
• Cons: The black rubber liner is used for both the white and black shell option, so the black rubber will show on the top and bottom of your white case. We cannot guarantee off-brand phone chargers being compatible with this case type.
• Semi-permanent; difficult to remove. Email me if you need instructions to put it on or take it off. If you need to remove your case daily for docking or other activities, this is probably not the case for you.


{FAQs}
1. MAY I RECEIVE AN ART PROOF PRIOR TO PURCHASE?

We encourage you to email us regarding your needs prior to purchase so that we may dialog regarding your needs, whether your idea is feasible and within our time availability. Due to high sales volume, proofs will not be provided during the holiday season (October - December).

2. HOW MAY WE CORRESPOND?

All communication regarding orders and questions should be directed through the etsy conversation system (customization information, art proof approvals, address verification, etc). If we do not receive a response through Etsy we will attempt to reach you through the email address on file with Etsy from our business email address. No production will begin on your order until we receive art proof approval or clarity on custom designs.

Shipping times vary due to production time, awaiting proof approvals, weekends/holidays, etc. Generally, orders are shipped on Tuesdays and Fridays, although there are occasions orders are shipped daily (the Holidays).

Most orders ship within 3 days of purchase unless we are awaiting proof approval.
