Production Times
COVID-19 SHOP UPDATE - May 25: At this time, we are still accepting orders. Although all of our USA and International packages are shipped out of New York State, and the USA/Canada border is closed to Non-essential travel, at this time, Trade and Commerce are not affected and our shipments are being processed. However, as this is a rapidly progressing and changing situation, this could change at a moments notice.
Canadian/Domestic shipments are proceeding currently and ALL Canadian packages will be shipped via Chit Chats Express. We will not be shipping with Canada Post offices at this time. For our safety, we are only shipping with Chit Chats as they offer contactless drop and go shipping at this time. We are practicing social distancing and this option provides the best solution. Chit Chats delivers on average within Canada in 2-8 business days. The packages will still be handled via Canada Post (xpediated service).
International shipments are taking longer then usual due to international travel restrictions and closed borders/countries on lock down. We will inform you at time of purchase if any of your countries are affected and we can not ship to you at this time.
We are extending ALL of our production timelines at this time. Although ALL timelines have been extended, Small items (delicate jewelry, small headpieces, simple veils) we will ship as soon as possible. Larger more intricate items, we will access on a per order basis and based on the current situation with postal disruptions. If you require your item by a certain time, PLEASE reach out to us asap and we will do our best to accomodate. We want nothing more then to be able to design for you, however, we request your patience during this time. We are a fully stocked studio material, but with our suppliers closing up shop, our materials may become limited and we may need to make some adjustments to designs (with your permission of course) or wait until supplies are available yet again.
We can not be held liable or responsible if an order does not arrive in time, or there are delays in shipping. This is COMPLETELY out of our control right now. It is out of everyone's control.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. We will ALL get through this together. Please stay in, stay safe and stay healthy!
