Announcement    Welcome! Most items are Custom-Made-to-Order, based on your selections/specifications. Please contact me if you have questions or special requests. ["Read More" below for discounts and more info]

* My "handling time" is presented as a range of business days, and may be adjusted based on the current volume and size of orders, USPS holidays not considered in Etsy's shipping date calculations, my availability, and other factors that can vary. These adjustments are made as a precaution to manage expectations; however all orders will still ship as soon as possible.

* Due to the USPS temporarily increasing postage for "the holiday season" I have temporarily increased my USPS First Class Package S/H Fee for US addresses from the usual $3.49 to $3.79. Thank you for understanding.

* Please note that the USPS is currently experiencing longer-than-usual transit times for many package, and that
transportation disruptions -- such as cancelled/delayed flights, shortages of drivers in the trucking industry, etc. -- can further affect the transit times of packages. Thank you for understanding.

>>>> Handling Time (Last Updated: June 18, 2021) <<<<

* Handling times are presented in terms of BUSINESS days; Saturdays, Sundays and US Holidays should not be counted.

* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, each item has its own estimated "handling" time, usually provided as a range (for example: 1 - 3 days). Please see the item listing for the handling time estimate that applies.

* Inexplicably, Etsy is now "hiding" the actual handling time specified by the seller. To find it in an item listing: Scroll down to the "Shipping and return policies" section (tap/click to expand it if necessary) and find where it says "Order placed" (under today's date); tap the "Order placed" link on a mobile device, or hover over it on a desktop/laptop, and a blurb will open that shows the actual number of business days the seller is advertising as the handling time. Knowing this information can be critical, since the Etsy system does not always calculate the dates correctly… especially around USPS Holidays. :(

Handling time exceptions…

* When purchasing multiple items together, the longest handling time among them will dictate the minimum handling time for the whole order.

* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, orders that include a number of such items *may* result in a longer handling time than is estimated for just one of them. The larger the order, the more likely there will be a delay.

* Time zone differences can affect what the order date is considered to be for some orders placed late at night.

* The Etsy system does not always correctly calculate shipping date estimates, especially around Holidays. Please understand that the number of business days I have specified is what will apply… not the date Etsy calculates. If you have questions about a specific order, please ask.

NOTE:

If you do not want your item(s) with a shorter handling time being delayed by your item(s) with a longer handling time, please checkout for the longer handling time item(s) separately from the other item(s), so they can be shipped in separate batches, as the items become ready.

… Likewise, if you are ordering many items, but have a special timing need for one or two of them, you can place an order for the "emergency" item(s) first, then a separate order for everything else, to ensure that the size of the order does not delay the item(s) you need right away.
