Has my order been shipped yet ?
When we ship your order, Etsy sends you an email with the tracking number we provide and the estimated delivery date. It is also noted as sent on your Etsy account.
If you did not receive any email, or your order is not noted as sent on Etsy, then it's still in the packing process.
How long does it take for my order to be shipped?
Please note that we are a small business run by two people.
The packing process time is currently around 2 weeks, but can be lower or higher depending on the number of orders. It is noted on each product page so you can estimate the delivery date even before placing the order.
How long does it take for a pre-order to be shipped?
Pre-order items' stock is produced when the pre-orders' batch is closed.
The production takes about 4-5 weeks. (8 weeks for pins)
If your order contains a pre-ordered item, then the whole order will be shipped when we receive the pre-ordered item's stock.
Should there be any production delays, we will communicate about it on our Instagram
The estimated shipping date has passed and my order hasn't been shipped, what's happening?
We are dependent of our manufacturer's work. Sometimes holidays, production errors, high increase in orders can happen and lead to important delays that we can't control.
Please check out our Instagram where we post regular stock, delays and production updates.
The estimated delivery date has passed and my order hasn't arrived yet, what's happening?
Etsy gives you an estimated delivery date based on the day that you place your order and our processing time; but it doesn't take account of the delivery delays.
These are the usual delivery delays:
- Canada : 2-8 days
- International : 5-22 days
If your order is still in transit, then we recommend to wait a few days until the delivery delays have passed.
Please contact us only AFTER these delays.
How does the tracking work?
The shipping company we use is Chit Chats, from Montréal, Canada.
It also works with USPS for US orders. They provide a tracking number for each stamp we order, then we send it to you when the order is shipped.
You can find it in the email sent by Etsy, or on your Etsy account.
Altough, we do not recommend checking the tracking through Etsy because it often does not match the real location.
You can track it directly on Chit Chats's website.
My tracking is not working / has not been updated / is showing strange information
The shipping services sometimes:
- Takes a lot of time to scan the tracking
- Scans it only when it gets in your country
- Does not scan it at all
- Has bugs that shows wrong locations
- Says the parcel was delivered but it wasn't
We recommend checking it from time to time. Don't panic if it doesn't seem to be working, even after a few days / weeks.
If you need more information, please check this page.
I believe my order is lost, what can I do?
Please consider your order lost only after you checked the estimated delivery date, shipping delays, and tracking number.
If you need more information about delayed shipments, please check this page.
If it is confirmed to be lost, then you can contact Etsy through their Buyer's Protection Service, they might offer a refund.

Do you plan on restocking X item?
NEW FEATURE: With the waiting list, you can ask to be notified about a restock direclty on Etsy.
Through the listing (where you select the out of stock item), a link should appear to access the waiting list.
If the waiting list is not available, then it probably won't be restocked.
We usually talk about restocks and new products or our Instagram.
I don't see X item on your shop anymore. What happened?
There are two possibilities:
1. The item was a PREORDER listing. In that case, the listing has been taken down when the preorders period ended. The item will most likely be restocked within a few weeks, or new preorders will open soon.
2. The item is out of stock. In that case, please refer to the previous section "Do you plan on restocking X item?"
