Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my shipping address after ordering? If your order hasn’t shipped yet, absolutely! Just email me ASAP with your new address.
Do you ship to PO boxes? Yes, but I recommend a street address for larger pieces or expedited shipping.
What if I’m not home for delivery? Most carriers will leave packages in a safe location or with a neighbor. You can also arrange to pick up from a local depot.
