Gift Wrap

Gift Wrap: Because everyone likes presents. 

Give a well-packaged, creative gift for birthdays, Christmas, graduation, anniversary, or as a surprise for someone you love. Give the gift of stories!

If you want two items wrapped, you need to purchase wrapping for both (in other words, buy gift wrap twice). Three items wrapped? Order three gift wraps.

You don't have to get gift wrap to leave a gift message. It's free to include a gift message for your recipient. 

You can send your message one of two ways:

• Look at the bottom of your shopping cart for "Add Order Note"; click on that and leave your note in the space provided,
• Or leave your message on the contact page. 

Whichever route you take, please let us know whether to include the packing slip if it's a gift. We'll include your message on nice paper that's easy to read. 

USA SHIPPING

Shipping for the entire United States, including territories, is only $5. That means if you get one Storymatic, shipping is five bucks. If you get two Storymatics, it's five bucks. Get three or four: five bucks.

You're probably thinking, "But doesn't it cost more than five dollars, especially for people out west?" Yes, but we pay the difference.

Most orders ship USPS, but there are times when it makes more sense to use UPS, particularly for addresses in the west for more than one product. Please provide an address that can accept USPS and UPS. All orders come with tracking information. 

We ship from Vermont and almost always get orders out within one or two business days. Often, orders ship the same day. Sometimes they ship within a few minutes.

We pack things really well, and sometimes you'll get a little prize with your order. A certain big online retailer doesn't do that. Just sayin'.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Our rates are more than 33% cheaper than regular USPS First Class rates. For context, here are examples for shipping one Storymatic Classic, give or take a few cents:

• $15 to Vancouver instead of $21.
• $17 to London instead of $25.
• $18.50 to Melbourne instead of $28.50.

We are trying as hard as we can to keep your shipping costs as low as possible.

International shipping gets complicated once things weigh more than four pounds. If you're trying to order more than one item and you get a shipping error in your cart, that's why. If that happens, call or send an email so we can discuss the most economical shipping method for you. 

Please keep in mind that you may need to pay duty and taxes when you receive your order. These are your responsibility. They are not included in the price of shipping.

This information is for standard retail orders and not for bulk or wholesale.
