WHERE ARE YOU BASED/WHERE DO YOU SHIP FROM?
All orders are shipped out of the (not so) small town of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
WHERE DO YOU SHIP TO?
TinkerTal Illustrations currently only ships to Canada and the United States.
WILL MY ORDER BE TRACKED?
I CAN'T FIND A TRACKING NUMBER FOR MY ORDER?
To keep shipping affordable and convenient, smaller flat items (such as stickers or small prints) as shipped untracked via letter mail.
If you cannot find a tracking number for any of these items, please reach out to me and I will help resolve the issue.
If you would like to upgrade to tracked shipping or have any questions about whether your package will be tracked, please feel free to contact me!
WHO DO YOU SHIP WITH?
Unless otherwise stated or requested, all orders will be shipped via Canada Post. Occasionally another shipping company may be used without notice. If you have any questions or concerns about this, message me!
DO YOU ACCEPT RETURNS OR EXCHANGES?
At this time, I do not offer returns or exchanges.
I am a small business that is still growing, so I am unable to have a return buffer. However, if you are not satisfied or have an issue with you order, please contact me and we can find a solution!
