Shipping & Policies


It is the customer's responsibility to read and fully understand all policies before purchasing. Once an order has been placed, it is assumed you have read, understand and agreed to our policies.
Stork Baby Gift Baskets is not responsible for any negligence or failure to read our policies.


We work with different vendors throughout the U.S. If purchasing more than one item, your gifts may ship separately and you will be charged the according shipping cost for each item.



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.

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.

Redirect Fee - If a wrong/insufficient address was provided at time of order and your package needs to be redirected for any reason, a redirect fee will be charged to you.

The Redirect/Return Fees are as follows:

  • Ground Redirect $20
  • Air Redirect $25
  • Intercept Fee $25

Return Package Fee - A Return Fee of $19.95 for ground shipping (charged to us by the carrier will be passed on to the customer) plus original shipping cost to reship. Next Day Air parcels are subject to fees set forth by the individual carrier used for delivery.  Per UPS policy, all returned parcels will be returned and billed using the same service as originally shipped.  Therefore Next Day Air parcels will be returned Next Day Air.

  • If package is redirected multiple times, a redirect fee each time will be assessed.
    •USPS Redirect Fees - If your package was shipped using USPS and a wrong/insufficient address was provided at the time of order and your package can not be delivered for any reason, the package will be returned to us as “undeliverable”.  Should this happen we will an issue a refund of the cost of the item with the exception of personalized gifts minus the original shipping cost and any fees incurred by the actual carrier or re-ship at customer's expense which is the actual shipping cost to the corrected address.

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. Notice of the additional charges will be emailed to you before processing your order so you may opt out at that point and cancel the order if you so choose. You may also contact us before placing your order for a quote.


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.
