Ordering from Merrimade

  • Our shopping cart is fully secure. Please refer to our Privacy and Security information.
  • Please proofread carefully before submitting your order. You are responsible for the copy you send to us. Please check names and addresses carefully. Verify all information is complete and accurate before submitting your order. We will print exactly what you specify. Our web ordering system is automated. We are not able to screen or check individual orders.
  • Computer monitors display colors differently. The actual color of our products and inks may be slightly different from that which is displayed on your monitor. If product or ink color is critical, please order samples before placing your product order.
  • Paper products may vary slightly in color and weight, from one mill lot to the next. A product ordered today may vary slightly in color or weight from the same product ordered previously.


Shipping

  • We ship your order via reputable carriers only, including FedEx, UPS and the USPS. Standard delivery generally requires several days for your order to reach its destination. Express delivery is available for an additional fee.
  • Shipping and Handling (S&H) will be added to the total of your order. S&H is calculated based upon the total dollar value of your order. It is impossible to calculate or bill the actual shipping amount before your order is manufactured, packaged and shipped. What you pay for S&H is very close to our actual cost. Unlike many of our competitors, we do not design our shipping tables to be profit centers.
  • Shipment to multiple addresses is available for an added fee, in addition to the S&H. Multiple shipments require additional handling and packaging.
  • All charges are in U.S. dollars.  The recipient of the package is responsible for credit card exchange rates, delivery fees and custom charges.
  • UPS cannot deliver to Post Office boxes. Please also provide us with a physical street address for these carriers.
  • For safety and security, it is advantageous to ship your order to a commercial address. Carriers sometimes leave packages unattended, or with a neighbor, if no one is home when delivery is attempted. These packages can be lost, forgotten or even stolen. We are not responsible for the loss of your order by failed delivery. We will assist you in filing a claim with the carrier, but in no case shall we issue a refund or free replacement for an order where the carrier can provide delivery confirmation. Nearly all our shipments can be tracked from our manufacturing facility to the delivery address. For your security, we suggest you specify a commercial address, if possible, for delivery during normal working hours.
  • Special rates apply to shipments outside the continental U.S. and for oversized packages. 
    During the Christmas holiday season, we may offer "Christmas Delivery" or "Guaranteed Christmas Delivery" or verbage to that effect. This is valid for US Addresses ONLY. This means that Merrimade, based upon the shipping carriers deadlines/promises for Christmas delivery, will strive to get your packages delivered before/on Christmas. However Merrimade cannot be responsible for delays caused by circumstances beyond our control such as, but not limited to, weather, carrier breakdowns, or inaccurate shipping addresses. While we strive to have all products on hand, occasionally there can be a back order of a component(s) of your order, and our maximum liability would be limited to the additional shipping upgrade amount charged to the customer, if any. Any such claim for the latter, must be made to us within 15 days of delivery of your order. There is no refund for carrier delays or those delays beyond our control.
