What is the 3-digit security code and why do you ask for it (during checkout)?
The security code is the last three digits of the code printed on the back of your Visa or Mastercard credit card (see below for American Express).

Please remember that most of our items are handcrafted upon order. Please allow time for the designers to cut, assemble, and this takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks for delivery -we may have to order more materials!

Why do you wait to handcraft your items when I order?
Like the Julio Gallo statement: We sell no wine before its time. Well, our work is much like that. Our studio is small and we work very hard to use all the materials we have on hand, this is why we have several sized items using similar materials. On the flip side, we don’t want to cut several items out and realize that we have no material remaining for 5 journals that were just ordered. So if possible, we strongly recommend that you place your order as soon as possible so that your order arrives in time for your big occasion.

How do you ship?
Believe it or not, but USPS Priority has the strongest rating in reliability than other carriers, so naturally our primary carrier is USPS Priority. If you prefer a different shipping method, please contact us to arrange a different carrier. We will do everything to make shipping as hassle free as possible.

Shipped via USPS Priority and includes shipping insurance on most orders valued at over $50.00. Orders are shipped with package insurance where applicable. We multi-pack items together (where possible) to ensure the lowest cost to you on shipping.
