• Applicable sales tax will be added to shipments being made to any location within Illinois. We are located in Skokie, Illinois. 

• Most personalized product orders are made and shipped in 5-10 business days.
• We ship orders using UPS Ground Service from Illinois for all domestic ground orders except for sample orders which ship via the US Postal Service. All other rush orders will ship using UPS Next Day or 2 Day Air. 
• Depending on the time of year and how busy our factory is, orders can be completed before five days or after 10 days. We always pay attention to the Need by Date you enter at checkout and to the event dates on product but cannot be responsible for missing an event date if you do not tell us. We also suggest adding an extra day for weather or other unforeseen or UPS delays.

• If we have any problems making your Need by Date, we will contact you as soon as possible. This is very infrequent! 

• Because we manufacture all our products in-house, we can always rush an order. When you checkout, there is a calendar where you can select the date you need your order delivered on or by. If the date you need is not available, please call or email our customer service department to ask. If we can, we will always try to accommodate the request. 
• If your Need By date is within the 4-10 business day window, the site will require you to approve some form of rush shipping. We offer overnight shipping (the fuchsia colored dates at Checkout) and two-day air (the red colored dates at Checkout). The price to ship the product is calculated for you here prior to payment.

• If you have an order in progress and would like to add to it, you have until 10 a.m. the first business day after you placed the order to purchase other products that will ship at the same time.
• When you place your second order, please indicate in the comments box that you would like this added to the original order. You can also call or email us with this information
• We also need the original order number so we can add the product to the new order.

• If you are reordering from a previous order, please indicate this information to us in the reorder box at checkout. The original order number is best.
• At checkout, please give us the original order number, name on the credit card used, or email address so we can check your new order against your original.
• It is our intention to minimize differences between orders by checking them together and using the same art. All items are custom-made and we want to make sure reorders are done using the same (whenever possible) dye lots and art/text.
• We cannot be responsible for differences in reorders made without this information; please contact us if you cannot find your original order number.

• We charge a flat fee of $8.95 and ship UPS ground for all packages within the Continental United States.
• For orders shipped Rush or to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or any other international destination charges are calculated to UPS or United States Postal Service specifications and costs above $8.95 are calculated at checkout prior to payment.
• We always attempt to ship the most economic way possible and ship many international orders using the United States Postal Service. Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to ship matches to any destination outside the US. 

• Additional shipping charges will apply to orders shipping outside the continental U.S. and all orders to Canada or other international destinations. These orders MAY incur additional charges on arrival- such as Brokerage Fees, Duty and Taxes due at delivery.
• The cost to ship to you is calculated at checkout prior to purchase and ForYourParty makes every attempt to minimize charges due upon delivery. Charges vary but you can expect somewhere from $15-35 to Canada or $25-60 for international orders. Large orders or orders needing expedited shipping are likely to be higher. 

• Most standard personalized items will be shipped within 5-10 business days of receipt Monday - Friday unless it is out-of-stock. Please note however that during our busy seasons, orders can take slightly longer. We make every effort to get your order out the door as quickly as possible; putting your Need by Date on the order is a big help.
• Many blank stock items ship the following business day for orders received by 2pm CST.
• If an item you have selected is temporarily out-of-stock, we will contact you as soon as possible. We take daily deliveries so this does not happen often.

• ForYourParty.com is not responsible for packages shipped on time but not delivered on time or lost via UPS or other shipping carriers. We do recommend you add an extra day to your order for this reason.
• We will make every effort to help locate a lost package and file a claim for the package but are not responsible for reimbursing our customers for amounts not collected (or verified as 'will be collected') by UPS or other shipping carriers. In most cases this is limited to a $100 value. If your order is large and you want it insured, please call our offices to discuss and we can add this to your order. Additional insurance rates will apply.

• UPS is not responsible for deliveries not made due to emergency weather or other emergency conditions out of their control (train derailments etc) ; we are also unable to reimburse for packages not delivered on time due to these emergency conditions. Again, plan ahead and order as soon as you know what you want.

• ForYourParty.com ships from Skokie, Illinois

UPS requires very accurate ship-to addresses for their deliveries. For example, UPS requires that if you live in a multi-unit dwelling that the shipping address must contain the Unit # you live in. Any errors UPS finds in your address when attempting delivery will incur an additional charge, generally $10 or $11. This charge will be added to your credit card after the item has been delivered. We do everything we can to verify your address before we allow you to process your order. Additionally, if you change the ship to address once the order has shipped, an $11 address change fee will also be charged to your credit card.

All of our products are packed in a protective packaging of tissue, bubble wrap, brown packing paper and then placed in cardboard boxes. Some items are specifically marked 'gift-boxed', which means that they are packaged as a gift. If you require special instructions, please let us know in the comments section of your order form.

When your order ships, you will receive an email notification from UPS with your UPS tracking number and estimated delivery date. Once you receive this you may track your package directly on the UPS website (www.ups.com) or right here from our web site using your order number. Click on the Shipping and Tracking Link in the menu and enter your order number in the box provided, then click 'Track'.
