You should expect to receive your refund within a few weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.

I need a larger tower. Can you make me a custom one?

How do you attached the Cake Pop Rings to the Cupcake Tower?
Because our towers are adjustable and can be used in many configurations, we suggest securing the rings to the tier by using double sided tape, scrap-booking glue dots, or for a more semi-permanent attachment, hot glue.

My display is hard to put together. What should i do?
We try to make sure that each piece has a nice snug fit to ensure a sturdy display when assembled. Sometimes it is easier to lay the tier flat on a counter and press the supports in. The use of a small rubber mallet may be necessary. This will help seat the tabs in place, and compress the material where needed.  If the tier that is giving you trouble is raised, there is sometimes too much flexibility in the tier which may make it difficult for the support to snap into place. As the display gets used the assembly process will be much easier as the material will compress slightly after the first few assembly.

I want something besides a monogram on it. How much does it cost?
If you would like to personalize your apron with a custom logo, slogan or graphic, we can do that for a small additional fee which can range from $3.99 - $9.99 depending on a few variables. The best thing to do is email us before placing your order to let us know you would like a custom apron. If you can supply us with a clean vector (.EPS or .AI) file, the additional cost will be lower. If you do not have a vector image, we can convert different file types, however the additional fee will depend on how much time is needed to convert/create the file(s) provided and the size of the imprint area.

An item I want is a custom order, Pre-Order or Back-Ordered. How long until this item ships?

Pre-Ordered or Back-Ordered usually ship within 2-4 weeks depending on the product. These items are shipped on a first come, first serve basis, so shipping times can vary. Orders with Custom Items, Pre-Orded or Back-Ordered items will not be shipped until these items are back in stock. If there are other, in stock items, in your order, it will not ship until it can ship complete. This is to help keep our prices as low as possible but not incurring double shipping costs for these types of order. If items are needed by a certain date, please contact us.
