Last updated: August 28, 2025
At Gaby B Designs, LLC, many items are handmade and/or personalized. Processing and shipping times can vary by product.
Processing Times
- Personalized / Made-to-Order: Typically 3–7 business days to craft before shipping.
- Backorders: If an item is out of stock, we will make it to order—please allow an extra 5–7 business days.
- Ready-to-Ship (non-personalized): Typically 1–3 business days to process.
Note: Processing time is separate from carrier shipping time.
Shipping Rates & Transit Times
- Rates are calculated at checkout based on weight, destination, and carrier.
- Estimated transit times and available carriers (e.g., USPS, UPS) are shown at checkout and are estimates, not guarantees.
Order Changes & Address Corrections
- If you need to update your shipping address or order details, please contact us as soon as possible.
- Orders cannot be modified once shipped. Incorrect addresses may cause delays or return-to-sender fees.
Tracking
- You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number once your order ships.
- Tracking updates may take up to 24–48 hours to appear.
Delivery Issues (Lost, Stolen, Delayed)
- Risk of loss transfers to the carrier when we hand over your package.
- If your tracking shows “Delivered” but you can’t locate the package, please:
- Check with household members, neighbors, or building management.
- Look in safe-drop areas or parcel lockers.
- Contact the carrier directly to file a claim.
- We can assist with information for a claim, but replacements or refunds are not guaranteed for packages marked delivered.
International Shipping (If Enabled)
- International customers are responsible for all customs, duties, VAT, and import taxes, which are not collected at checkout.
- Customs inspections and carrier delays are outside our control.
Split Shipments
- Your order may ship in multiple packages at no extra cost if items are ready at different times.
Refused / Undeliverable Packages
- Packages returned due to refusal or an incorrect/undeliverable address may be reshipped at the buyer’s expense.
- Original shipping fees are non-refundable.
Pre-Orders & Special Releases (If Applicable)
- Estimated ship windows are provided on product pages and order confirmations. Dates may change due to supply or carrier factors.
Holiday & Peak Seasons
- Please allow extra time during holidays and sales events due to higher order volume and carrier congestion.
