Always Beside You Cardinal Mug – A Daily Reminder of Love & Connection

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Supporting you every step of the way

💌 Why did my order arrive in separate packages?

To ensure faster delivery, some products are made-to-order and shipped directly from my trusted printing and production partners — both in the U.S. and internationally.
That means your items may come in separate packages depending on their source.

• Jewelry & original artwork ship directly from my New Hampshire studio with their own tracking numbers.
• Made-to-order items like bags, kimonos, and home goods may ship from different locations and sometimes separately if on backorder.

⏱ How long will my order take to arrive?

• Processing time: 3–5 business days
• Domestic delivery: 7–10 business days after processing
• International delivery (select items): Up to 15 business days after processing

🔄 What is your return policy?

You may request a return within 30 days of delivery.

• ✅ Exchanges are offered for defective, damaged, or misprinted items
• ✅ Jewelry can be returned within the 30-day window
• ❌ Original artwork is final sale due to its unique nature

🎨 Why does the color look slightly different than online?

Due to variations in lighting and device screens, colors may appear slightly different in person.
I take great care to ensure accuracy and quality — but if something feels off, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m happy to help.

📦 What happens after I place my order?

1. You’ll receive a confirmation email immediately after placing your order.
2. Your item is sent to production — either in my studio or through my trusted partners.
3. Once shipped, you’ll receive a tracking number so you can follow its journey to your door.

🖼 Is encaustic art durable?

Absolutely!
Encaustic art is incredibly long-lasting and moisture-resistant — it’s one of the oldest art forms still intact today.
With proper care, your piece will remain vibrant and beautiful for generations.
