SHIPPING INFORMATION & RATES
Please Note: You cannot count the "shipping day" as a "delivery day" so in other words, if you order ground shipping or even an express shipping method" you start counting the delivery estimation the following day after the item ships. Any confusion or questions concerning this issue, we recommend calling before placing your order.
Processing times do NOT include shipping time. See below for more info.
SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION
We offer ground delivery with a signature required option. (This is currently not an option we can offer at this time as it is not being offered by any of the carriers due the Covid-19 pandemic.) It is highly recommended that you protect your purchase by selecting this option. This is especially important if you are shipping to an apartment complex as we have found both fedex and ups will now leave packages in an apartment building hallway or door.
If a package is deemed as "Delivered" by the carrier, we cannot (no exceptions) reimburse or send a new package as as a replacement.
* Carriers are used at our discretion (Usually FEDEX, UPS or USPS but sometimes others) * Next Day Service or Overnight Delivery is next Business Day
As a courtesy service...All gift product pages show an estimated processing and delivery time with our 'Shipping Calculator' by entering in the destination zip code.
*Stork Baby Gift Baskets does not make any guarantees regarding delivery dates other than what is guaranteed by our carriers.
All orders are shipped in the order they are received and we do our very best to ship out all items in the estimated time frame.) The email order status update you will receive is in no way guaranteed , it is simply a courtesy notice to inform you of our sincerest effort to ship your item in a timely matter.
VERIFY YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER
It is the customer's responsibility to make sure a complete and correct shipping address is given. We do not verify shipping address and are not responsible if an item ships to an incorrect address and is not returned to us or does not end up with the correct recipient. We will not replace nor refund the expense of the gift item nor the shipping if an incorrect or incomplete address was given.
If an item is returned to us for any reason, your order will be refunded minus the original shipping cost, minus any return charges by the carrier and a 20% restocking fee.
Processing time and shipping times are 2 different factors and both must be considered when ordering your gift item.
*All estimated processing times are shown on each product page, this does not include shipping time. See map (link on each product page) for estimated ship time and add it to the processing time to get an "estimated" delivery time. Any questions, please contact us. Processing + Shipping = Delivery.
*Shipping Times are "Estimated" and we make no financial guarantees other than what the actual carrier will guarantee. All of our product pages offer shipping maps so you can get an estimate of the shipping time expected before making your selection. Once a selection is made and the order has shipped, there is no way to speed up or change the method with the carrier ~ no exceptions! Please call us if you have any concerns or need assistance in estimating when a gift might arrive (before placing your order).
* Please note: Ground shipments do not require a signature and may be left at a door. Express Shipments may require a signature depending on the carrier and may be returned to the facility/and or returned to us if no one is available...typically a carrier will leave a note and/or attempt delivery once or twice before returning an item to us. If an item is returned to us, we will need to re-charge shipping fees to ship it out again.
*Once an order has left our facility with the carrier, it falls under the carriers guidelines and guarantees.
APOs, PO Boxes, Hawaii/Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other American Territories. Please note: Items shipping to these areas will most likely require additional shipping cost.

Many of our products cannot ship to PO Boxes. Options for shipping to Hawaii/Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other American Territories are offered as an option for most items.

Carriers used are at our discretion (Usually FEDEX, UPS or USPS) and may be subject to change as we find necessary.
MOTHER NATURE & DELIVERY DELAYS
Unfortunately Mother Nature can impact your delivery date – please plan accordingly. This includes ordering early, and taking into consideration any weather conditions your package may encounter during its journey from our facility to your doorstep or gift destination.
ADDITIONAL FEES
Items that are returned to us as "undeliverable" due to a bad or incorrectly addressed package are subject to return fees that may be incurred to us by the carrier. We are happy to re-ship those items to a good address at the cost of postage for the return shipping cost as well as the re-shipment fees.

SHOPPING
- I am sending something as gift, do you include pricing?
*We will never include pricing with our items shipped. A gift card or a packing slip may be included with a gift card message but never pricing.
- I am sending more than one gift, will they ship together?
*Items starting with the same letters can typically ship together or at least at the same time from the same location.
So for example, if you select one item the product number starts with "BBC" and a second item that starts with "BGC" then no, they will not ship together. In this case, we will estimate which item will arrive 1st and include a note to your recipient to let them know that another gift will be arriving shortly.
- Can I include a gift card message to my recipient?
*Yes, all product pages include a text area so you can include a personalized message to your recipient.
-What if I forgot to include a gift card message?
*Feel free to contact us either by phone or email and we can still include it as long as your gift has not been packaged to ship. We will always include at least the billing name provided on the order form if the gift card message was left blank so at least your recipient knows whom sent the gift.

-What is the correct way to list initials for a monogram?
*When selecting a style for your monogram, keep in mind that the order of initials varies according to the style.
For monogram styles in which the center letter is taller than the others, the order of initials is traditionally first/last/middle. For example, if your name is Sara Marie Smith, the monogram would be SSM.
For styles in which all letters are equal in size, the order of initials should be first/middle/last. In this case, the monogram would be SMS.
