|
The despatch time for you order depends
on what you have ordered. Our service standards are as

| Items |
Despatch time* |
| Items that are not printed or personalised e.g.
cameras, plain boxes, names change kits |
2 working days |
| Printed or personalised items |
2 working days per proof, then 3 days for printing
once proof is approved. |
Once your order has been dispatched you
will receive an email from confirming the details.
* Please note our working days are Monday
to Friday. Occasionally items are out of stock, if that
is the case we will contact you.
You should add the delivery times below
to the despatch times above. For example, if you order
a product that has a despatch time of 8 working days you
can expect your order in 6 working days (2 to despatch,
6 for delivery).
|
|
|
How long
do orders take to be delivered once they are despatched?
|
|
We use the Postal Service for our deliveries.
If you are not home at the time of delivery your Post
Person will leave you a card. It is recommended that you
provide a work address for delivery if no one is home
during business hours.
Their stated delivery times are 4-6 days.
We can't guarantee delivery within these
times.

|
|
What happens if I am not at home when
my order is delivered?
|
|
Cards and Favors uses the Postal Service
to deliver parcels. If you are not at home to receive
the parcel, a card will be left so you can pick it up
from your closest post office. Sometimes cards get accidentally
discarded, so if you believe your parcel should have arrived,
check with your local post office first.
|
|
|
|
What happens if there is a shortages
or defect with my order?
|
|
Please help us to help you by reporting
shortages or problems with your order within 7 days of
delivery. This will enable us to assist you in rectifying
the problem without undue delay. Any faulty or damaged
stock will be replaced at no charge.
Products ordered incorrectly by customer, can be refunded
if informed within 7 days of dispatch and in mint condition
on return. Postage will be paid for by customer and a
10% administration charge will apply. Prior authorisation
must be obtained before returning any goods.

Our cameras use AGFA 400asa film. They
are 24 exposure and have a flash.
|
|
|
|
Storage of cameras
|
|
Cameras should also be kept in a cool
dry location to ensure the film is not effected by heat.
|
|
|
Do Cards and Favors Disposable
Cameras come packaged with a card telling guests how
to use them?
|
|
There is no card included with our cameras,
usage information is printed on the bottom of the camera.
If you want candid shots taken by your guests, we have
found it is a good idea to get your MC to make an announcement
at the reception ceremony telling guests that the cameras
are on the table, the type of photos you would like taken
and where to leave them so you can have them developed
after the ceremony.

I have already ordered and received
my printed invitations but have realised I did not order
enough. Can I have more printed?
|
|
We have a minimum order of 30 printed
items, however, if we still have your job on file we can
rerun your job for a setup fee of $10 per stationery item
(so if you have need and RSVP and invite reprinted the
setup will be $20.00), plus the cost of the items.
|
|
|
|
How long does my order take to be printed?
|
We recommend that you order your invitations 3-4 weeks

follows
| Items |
Despatch time* |
| Items that are not printed or personalised e.g.
cameras, plain boxes, names change kits |
2 working days |

2 working days per proof, then 3 days for printing
once proof is approved. |
|

I have placed my order for printed
stationery, what happens now?
|

Within 2 working days of placing your
order you will receive a proof of your order (any subsequent
proofs also take 2 working days). This proof will
come as a PDF attachment to an email. Please feel free
to make as many changes as you wish to this proof and
email them back to us. We will email you a revised proof
to check. You can then make any final changes to this
proof and email them to back to us. We will then email
you a final proof. If you make changes after this proof
we will charge you $15.00 for each additional proof. We
will not proceed with printing until you have approved
a proof that requires NO changes.
Once you authorise us to proceed
with printing, it takes 3 working days for your order
to be despatched. Times between despatch and actual
delivery to your address varies dependant on your location.
You should add the delivery times
to the despatch time.
Once your order has been dispatched you
will receive an email from confirming the details.

What is the Cards and Favors Returns Policy?
|
|
If you order an item which turns out to
be unsuitable we will exchange it for another similar
item. We will make a cash adjustment either way if the
price is different. This could be the case if the wrong
size box is ordered for example. A good way to avoid this
problem purchasing a box sample pack in advance of the
main order.
If you order too many of an item, and want
to return the excess, generally these are not accepted.
If an item is printed or personalized and
we make a mistake copying from printed copy provided by
you, we will replace the item.
If the item is printed or personalized and
the order was placed by phone we will generally not replace
the item unless it is obvious that we have made a mistake.
This could occur when the order was taken and written
down and then the operator transcribes it wrongly. For
personalized items we encourage customers to provide written
copy.
For invitation orders we always provide
proofs. Once these have been approved we do not accept
liability for errors.
If we send out an incorrect item, that is
it is different from the item ordered, we will replace
it and pay for the return postage for the faulty item.
