SHIPPING 

US Shipping

  • Packaging & Type

Shipping methods and packaging vary depending on the quantity of products and specific products ordered.  Orders typically ship USPS First Class Mail or Priority Mail depending on weight and restrictions required by USPS. USPS First Class Mail and USPS Priority Mail should arrive in 2-4 business days after shipment.

  • How long will it take to receive my order?

Most items will ship within 5 business days; please note this does not account for actual shipping time. When your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email! Please see shipping section of these FAQ’s for standard shipping time and policies.  

International shipping

  • Customs Fees & Duties

Customers are responsible for any taxes, fees and duties associated with purchasing & shipping to their home countries.

  • Shipping Times

To offer affordable international shipping, most international orders are shipped via First Class Mail International and can take up to 30 days to arrive.

Ship Complete Policy

Orders ship when complete. If you ordered an item listed as backordered or a workshop kit, your order will ship when all items in the entire order are ready and available. If you’d like to receive items as quickly as possibly, consider making separate purchases to speed up their arrival time.

Workshop Kit Shipment Policy

Workshop kits ship approximately 7 days before the workshop commences. If you place other items in your order with a workshop kit or two workshop kits, your package will ship approximately 7 days before the scheduled date of the workshop in your order with the most future date. If you prefer a live workshop experience (and not to watch the video replay), we recommend purchasing workshop kits separately so as to ensure they arrive in time for you to attend all workshops live.


Product Questions

What type of paper do you use for the art prints?

We are committed to using a form of recycled cardstock that is both beautiful and eco-friendly. 

Can you tell me more about a specific product?

Details for each product are always available on the specific product listing. If you have more questions, please shoot us a message: info@natterdoodle.com.

I really like this/that/the other design, but I want to print it myself. Could you sell me the digital download?

The only designs available as digital downloads will be listed under the Digital Downloads section in the shop.

I’d like you to change one of the colors on an item you sell, can you do that?

Nope! But we LOVE color and Natalie uses a whole boatload of different colors all the time! We hope you can find something else in the color(s) that you like!


CUSTOM ART REQUESTS

Can you hand letter my wedding invitations? What if I have a specific quote or saying that I want on an art print?

While Natalie would love to make a piece designed especially for you, she is not accepting personal commission work at this time, including wedding requests.

Can you sell me the font used on one of your pieces?  What about the raw files of a specific design?

Every item featuring hand lettering is designed and hand-lettered by Natalie and is not a specific font that can be sold. If you are interested in learning about hand lettering, consider taking one of Natalie’s workshops! We do not sell the raw files of Natalie’s designs, but are open to licensing agreements with companies and brands. Please email us directly to discuss: hello@natterdoodle.com.

Do you do freelance design for businesses, universities and brands?  Do you license your designs?

You bet! We’d love to talk to you about how to partner with your rad company! Shoot us an email hello@natterdoodle.com.

Can I return a digital download?

We are not able to offer returns on Digital Downloads because the files are delivered instantly at the time of purchase.

How does shipping work on returned/exchanged items?

We never charge additional shipping for exchanged items as a result of damage, defective product, if your package is lost in the mail* or receipt of incorrect items. *However, if the US Postal Service claims your item was delivered but you didn't receive it, we ask that you cover the cost of re-shipping the package.

I purchased tickets for a NatterDoodle workshop, but I can no longer attend. Can I request a refund?
