This may include items that are not regularly stocked or a complete handmade order. Each custom order is carefully evaluated and the final cost depends on the level of detail, materials used and the complexity. For this reason; custom orders are non-refundable.
We require an initial payment of 50% deposit for us to begin processing your order. If you change your mind about the design after we have started processing your order, you will be required to pay a surcharge. This is to compensate us for time spent on your order, so please choose your designs carefully. The deposit is also non-refundable.
