Announcement    Apr 26 Please Read - Shop Status Please see below. Thank you for visiting my shop! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many wonderful new and returning clients. Please read Shop Status below.....

*********** Shop Status *****************

Apr 26 Status: Currently shipping in 0-2 business days. My shipping time or package fulfillment time is set to 3-5 days to allow for personal commitments, bad weather or unexpected order volume.

Please note: The Post office is changing their processing centers which has caused delays in delivery. Please order earlier than normal to ensure the bow arrives prior to a holiday or occasion.

***************
Bows make unique gifts and with a relatively small investment in a grapevine or boxwood wreath, you can change your decor for each season and holiday very easily.

******2024 Post Office Holidays thru July******

-May 27 Memorial Day
-June 19 Juneteenth National Independence Day
-July 4 Independence Day

Fall and Holiday listings will be back mid summer into the fall. Please shop early for the holidays to avoid postal bottlenecks and increased rates. Holiday cutoff will be prior to Thanksgiving.

New designs are being added all the time so if you don't see something at the moment, Favorite my shop on Etsy and you will be notified as new items are listed. You can also follow me on social media. My links are in most of the listing descriptions.

******* Large Orders********

Etsy has a Seller/Buyer Protection Program with Qualifying orders up to $250 (including shipping and tax). Please be mindful of the 250$ threshold and break your order up into multiple orders. I will have to cancel and ask you to rebook the order to keep under that threshold. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns.

********** Shipping ***********

I ship Monday thru Friday and most Saturdays. Saturday is a short Post Office Day (closes at noon). I typically ship 10:30 am Saturday morning. I only ship via USPS so Sunday orders will ship on the next business day. I make a lot of bows to order so if you purchase late in the day M-F or early Saturday, I might not have enough time to prepare your order for the PO on a particular day. If you have a question about my processing times, please message me. My goal is to ship as soon as possible.

1/25/24 I am suspending the use of the 2 bow box size. Bows will ship individually. I have always looked to provide savings on shipping when I am able. USPS employs auditing processes that tend to delay the 2 bow box size. With expectations being set for delivery that do not include the added processing for larger boxes (boxes are re-routed to different distribution centers when the box is a certain size adding additional days to delivery timeframes).

-I ship bows USPS Priority Mail- Please provide your post office address.
-If you have delivery concerns, please message me before purchase.
-USPS Only guarantees shipping on Priority Mail Express.
-USPS Priority Mail does not guarantee your box will arrive as scheduled.
-I do not guarantee shipping. I will do my part to get your items completed and shipped.
-Sign up for text or email alerts on your tracking numbers on the applicable carrier websites. USPS.com.
-I will monitor deliveries, assist with missing package requests and insurance claims. The Post Office has a 30 (from expected delivery date) day waiting period for filing Missing Package claims. Example, the box expected delivery on Jan 13, the claim on the box can not be submitted until Feb 13 up to March 13.
-USPS does not pay claims on packages that have a Delivered status. Please file a police report if you suspect that your package was stolen. Please monitor your deliveries to ensure someone is able to grab the package for you if you are not home or put a vacation hold on with USPS.
-If your package arrives damaged, pleases contact me on Etsy Messages immediately upon receipt so that I can assist with filing a claim. USPS Priority Mail has an insurance feature. Photographs of the box before opening and the contents inside the box will be needed for the claim.

Please be sure to read the descriptions on the listings I sell bows only. I use props to give a sense of scale and suggested uses for my bows. The Grapevine wreath, evergreen wreath, Christmas Tree, lanterns, wreath stand, and wood panel are props and not for sale.

Please keep an eye on your messages from me on Etsy to ensure a smooth process.

I ship via USPS, please provide your USPS address at checkout (i.e., the address where your mail is delivered (PO Box/Physical Address). If the address you provide is not USPS verified, I will reach out to you via messages on Etsy.

***** CUSTOMIZATION*****

Please message me about changes to existing designs or requests for custom orders before you purchase. Lengthening streamers or changing the size of a bow may result in a cost adjustment.

Custom orders will become limited from time to time particularly during times of high order volume (i.e., the months of Oct -Dec, week before Mother's Day)

Please message me prior to ordering about customization. It is helpful if you know the size you are looking for (width and length, purpose of the bow, and colors).

Please keep an eye out on messages from me to help the communication process. Gaps in communication make it particularly difficult for me to offer Custom Designs.

If you are thinking about a special tree topper or bows for the Holidays, please contact me in July-Sept to ensure the best ribbon selection. If you can give me a heads up on color/style, I can keep an eye out at my suppliers. Deposits may be collected for custom ribbon orders.
