Cancellations or changes

How do I cancel or change my order?

You can cancel or change your order as long as we have not issued a tracking number for you shipment. Once that has been done, your package is on it's way and we can no longer cancel or change anything.

 

If you haven't paid for your order, you can cancel the shopping cart  by clicking the cancel button. That will erase everything in the cart until the next time.

Can I cancel my shipment?

We're very sorry, but no. Once the shipment has a tracking number assigned to it, we are unable to cancel it.

I forgot to add my discount / gift card / coupon? Can I still add it?

As long as you haven't paid for your order, you can still add your gift card, coupon or discount to your total. Once you have paid for your order, we're sad to inform you you'll have to come back and use them another time.

 

The date of purchase must be on, before or in between the expiration date(s) on the coupon, discount or gift certificate. If the date has expired we will not be able to honor it. 

Exchanges

I'd like to exchange my item for a new one, can I do that?

Exchanging one of Granny's treasures for another one of the same can be difficult with most items because they are one-of-a-kind and once they are gone they are gone for good. But, we can exchange your return a different item of the same value.

 

With our hand made crafts like jewelry, hand sewn items and recycleables, we can exchange them for you. Just pay the new shipping fee to send it to you.

I received a customized/personalized gift, can I return it?

Generally, customized, made-to-order or personalized items are non-returnable items and cannot be returned or refunded. We may be able to exchange it.

 

We will try to work with you, so please, contact us and we will see what we can do to help you.

How do I return a gift I received?

Please complete the Return Authorization Form that is included with your order, most often that are attached to the Packing Slip. If you did not receive one or can't find it, you can request one here

 

We will need the Order number in order to credit the account used to purchase the gift or send you you a refund in the mail or exchange it for a treasure you do like. If you received a Packing Slip with your gift, the Order number will be at the upper right corner. If you did not receive a Packing Slip, you will need to get the order number from the person who purchased the gift for you prior to contacting us. 

 

We cannot process your return or request a refund without the RA form and Order number. Please allow 1-2 weeks to process the refund or exchange. ​

How do I return an item or my whole purchase?

Please fill out a Returns Request Form to return your merchandise.

 

But before you do, to save us both a lot of hassle, ask yourself the following.

  1. Was the item listed as a returnable item in the item details portion of the product page? In other words there was no "NR" next to the SKU#.

  2. Was the item delivered to you in the last 14 days?

  3. Is the item and all it’s parts still in original brand-new condition?

  4. Is the item clear of any customization or personalization?

  5. Is the item clear of any signs of wear or use of any kind?

  6. Is the item unopened, still sealed inside it’s plastic wrap? If not, it's still returnable for a partial refund.

  7. If any came with the item, are all tags, packaging, labels etc. still with the item?

  8. If the item was a set, are all parts of the set together?

If you answer "Yes" to all of the questions, your return is acceptable for for a full refund of the purchase price or an exchange. Shipping charges are non refundable unless the return is due to the shippers fault.

 

The buyer or purchaser is responsible for the return shipping unless it was due to our fault. Inthat case that will be refunded also.

 

Coupons, discounts and gift certificates or cards

I forgot to add my discount / gift card / coupon? Can I still add it?

The date of purchase must be on, before or in between the expiration date(s) on the coupon, discount or gift certificate. If the date has expired we will not be able to honor it.

Weather, excessive orders/shipments, etc. can all play a part in changing the expected delivery dates. Most are out of our control. When we learn of any delay we will notify you or post it on our News Marquee.

 

If your order is late and you have checked with us, you may need to contact the carrier.

Do you charge state sales tax?

North Carolina is the only state at present where we charge sales tax. 

How is my order shipped?

Due to economical and practical reasons, our preferred shipper is the USPS. Depending on the weight of the shipment, you have the option of First Class, Parcel Select. Priority Mail and Overnight are available if you need it fast.

 

Oversized, bulky shipments are sent via UPS.

 

If you prefer UPS or FedEx over the USPS for standard shipping, you can request them before purchasing.

Please be aware that these guys may charge additional surcharges and/or hidden fees to deliver your order to your location and you are responsible for these charges.

Why can't I track my order/shipment?

Here are some of the reasons why you can not track your order or shipment.
 

  1. You have not logged into your account.

  2. You have not logged into the designated carrier's website.

  3. A tracking number has not been issued to your shipment yet.

  4. You have not given the designated carrier 24 hours to update their online tracking software.

  5. If your order is going to somewhere outside the United States, the tracking number assigned to your shipment does not register once the shipment leaves the continental United States.

 

Here are some solutions for you to try.

 

  1. Log into your account. Everything you want to know about your order is listed there. When it processed, shipped, the tracking number, the carrier, what is in the shipment, expected delivery date, etc. 

  2. Log into the carrier of choice that you selected when you made the order. You can find them here.

  3. As soon as the carrier assigns their tracking number to your order, we notify you by email. The tracking number is also added to your online order information of your account.

  4. The carrier has to scan the barcode into their tracking system and it takes 24 hours for their system to update. If by the next day you still don't see your information on their website, call them or us. There's got to be a simple explanation for it.

  5. Non-domestic addresses have seperate mailing facilities. USPS tracking numbers are only for the mailing facilities in the United States.

    We suggest for the Military, contact your military postal facility for your branch. For US Territory and international orders Granny's Clozet requires a signature when shipping your destination so we can track your shipment to the receivers door.

Handcrafted and Special Orders

I received a customized/personalized gift, can I return it?

Generally, customized, made-to-order or personalized items are non-returnable items and cannot be returned or refunded. We may be able to exchange it.

 

We will try to work with you, so please, contact us and we will see what we can do to help you.

Is customization free or do you charge?

Customizing as a general rule is free and we understand that a customer may change their mind about a detail or two, so we allow two customary changes per order.

 

After that, we reserve the right to charge $2.50 per change per order, for any additional changes, if and only if, the changes become excessive. Please understand, stopping and changing production is not only time consuming, but costly.

 

Personalization is free up to 6 words or letters. We charge $0.50 per letter or word after that.

How do I order a custom design?

Custom, made-to-order, and personalized orders are what we call "Special Orders". If one of our treasures qualifies for a "Special Order", it will be noted in the product description. Select the available options to customize your collectible. If you need assistance you can either send us an email or chat with us to request your design. We will work with you throughout the process until your Special Collectible is created the way you want it. 

 

"Special Orders" will take from 1-4 weeks to complete after they are ordered and a deposit may be required.

 

"Special Orders" do not qualify for expedited shipping unless you specifically request it and are okay with the timeframe.

 

"Special Orders" are non-returnable.

Why can't I track my order/shipment?

Here are some of the reasons why you can not track your order or shipment.
 

  1. You have not logged into your account.

  2. You have not logged into the designated carrier's website.

  3. A tracking number has not been issued to your shipment yet.

  4. You have not given the designated carrier 24 hours to update their online tracking software.

  5. If your order is going to somewhere outside the United States, the tracking number assigned to your shipment does not register once the shipment leaves the continental United States.

 

Here are some solutions for you to try.

 

  1. Log into your account. Everything you want to know about your order is listed there. When it processed, shipped, the tracking number, the carrier, what is in the shipment, expected delivery date, etc. 

  2. Log into the carrier of choice that you selected when you made the order. You can find them here.

  3. As soon as the carrier assigns their tracking number to your order, we notify you by email. The tracking number is also added to your online order information of your account.

  4. The carrier has to scan the barcode into their tracking system and it takes 24 hours for their system to update. If by the next day you still don't see your information on their website, call them or us. There's got to be a simple explanation for it.

  5. Non-domestic addresses have seperate mailing facilities. USPS tracking numbers are only for the mailing facilities in the United States.

    We suggest for the Military, contact your military postal facility for your branch. For US Territory and international orders Granny's Clozet requires a signature when shipping your destination so we can track your shipment to the receivers door.

I want shipping insurance and I don't see where to add it?

Shipping insurance for domestic shipping is optional and can be added to your order by way of the product page or shopping cart.

 

Canadian, Military and US Territories require shipping insurance to ship your order and it is included with USPS Prioity Mail and PM International.

 

On the product page, under "Optional Shipping Insurance", select "Yes". This will add the cost to the price of the item. If you order more than one item, you only need to select this option one time. Military, International and US Territories do not have to add insurance, it is already included in the shipping.

 

On your shopping cart, you have the opportunity to "change" and add shipping insurance to one of your items or if you added it too many times, you can click change to delete insurance on the extra items.

Can I split my order and ship part to a second address?

During the holidays many of our customers purchase items to ship to relatives and friends. As long as the second address is in the United States addressing system we can honor your request.

 

This free service is only valid for US addresses and is limited to one additional address per order. If you have more than one extra address or an order going to outside the US, please place a seperate order for those shipments.

How do I use the shopping bag?

You can find step by step instructions here.
