๐ข๐ฃ๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐ข๐๐ฆ: As many of our customers are on tight deadlines for events, we have streamlined our process to make proofing optional. This saves time for those clients that want the fastest service. Again, proofing services are ๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น; you must choose to add a proof package in the drop-down menu and remit the additional cost to receive a proof package with your order.

If you do not add a proof, you are giving us permission to use our discretion to create and design your book according to our layout shown and what we think looks best with your names and/or content โ including upper/lower casing, punctuation, and other design details and factors to create a beautiful final product.
Optional proofs, if added, are delivered to your EMAIL on file and are of the item AS SHOWN in the photos. Please make sure your email address on your account is current for fastest service. We will also send a duplicate notice that your proof is ready to your Etsy inbox via the Etsy Messages feature. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ ๐ก๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฉ๐ค.

Proofs, if added, are usually ready within 1-2 business days of your order. We require your proof to be approved on time to keep your order moving toward production and shipment, so please be sure to stay on top of your email and Etsy messages. If you have Etsy notifications to your email turned off, or an out-of-date email address, you may experience difficulty and delays in approving your order for production, however we cannot be responsible for this and we will not cancel an order due to lack of communication from you delaying your proofing process. Please remember to be checking for your proof by email to approve it. ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฌ: We will hold a proof (or revision) for 72 hours once we've sent it out, before sending it to print manually. Please be prepared to approve your orderor make any necessary changes within 72 hours of receiving the proof or revision. We send an initial proof and daily reminders by email until you approve the order, or 72 business hours (M-F), whichever comes first. We will also send a separate Etsy message to let you know the proof access is available for review. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ, ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐.

๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฆ: Standard shipping for international orders is USPS First Class International Package services. Upgraded shipping is available for an additional cost. First Class can take from about 10 days in the mail to several weeks depending on your location. Most major metropolitan areas (Canada, UK, France, Australia, etc.) are on the shorter end, and more remote areas are on the longer end. These transit times are estimates only, and the transit time of your package may vary and is not guaranteed. First Class International shipping is ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ณ๐๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ.

Because our process is custom, and if you add a proof package we will be relying on your response time as well (and in the case of international orders, overseas shipping and customs), we cannot guarantee arrival of your book by your event date, and cannot refund/accept returns for orders that do not arrive by your event date. If you do not upgrade your shipping, we may not be able to assist in locating your package once it leaves the US.
๐๐๐๐ & ๐๐๐๐๐๐:
โพ Our vertical casebound books and journals do not have a lay-flat binding. They are casebound style, like a typical hardcover library book.

Depending on photo size, for better results the 8x10 typically accommodates 20-30 photos. These are not hard and fast rules since there are so many sizes/types of photos available today, but a general guideline to assist in choosing book size. We cannot guarantee any specific photo amount per book. The cover may not close as flat with photos added as it does without, which is the case with any casebound book with a fixed spine. Again these are guidelines only, and your results with photos may vary depending on the size and thickness of your photos and how you adhere them. In all cases, we recommend not using as many photos as the sheet count to prevent overstuffing, and low profile adhesive (not photo corners) as the casebound book does not expand with added content.

We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Proofs, if applicable, are sent to your email on file in 1-2 business days. You'll want to use a valid email address that you check regularly for ordering and be prepared to approve on time. We'll hold the proof for 72 hours (with reminders) before sending to print as is. Generally, 1 initial proof and 2 rounds of minor revisions are included in your purchase price. Additional edits or requests may incur additional costs.
Yes. The listed price reflects the design shown. For customizations to designs shown that are more than just changing names, dates, etc., please email us ahead of time to be sure we can accommodate your request, especially if your request includes adding more text than what is shown on the sample, like adding/removing/changing graphics. We'll advise you at that time if we can accommodate your request and if extra design fees will apply.
FONT CHANGES: All of our items are sold with the fonts shown for the base price. For guest books or stamps, customization to fonts is $5. Font changes are not offered on other items.
Yes! We love our international customers and ship worldwide. Please be sure to check both the processing and transit times on your chosen item to be fully aware of how long your item may take to ship if it's non-personalized, to make first once approved and then ship if it's personalized, and then also how long your chosen transit time will take. Especially if you are ordering for your wedding, you'll want to make sure your item will arrive on time. We offer a few different types of international shipping; full information is in our shop policies under our shipping policy for all options. Note that international customers are responsible for any customs/duty tax or related fees for importing items.
All of our listings include details on the processing times (the amount of time it takes to make your item once it's sent to print or your proof is approved) for those items. You'll also get an estimate of the ship date displayed when checking out through the Etsy system, and this assigned date will also be on your order receipt. Orders that need to be approved before making will move fastest if you are able to approve your proof on time; client response time does factor in to how long it takes to receive your item. If proof approval is delayed, we may not be able to ship by the date assigned. We do offer expedited shipping options. These expedited transit times take effect *after* your item has been made to order and shipped.
The window for cancellation is one hour post purchase. We cannot cancel your order once we've started production or once you've approved a proof of the order. We also cannot cancel an order once we've sent a proof to you.
Personalized and/or custom items are not eligible for return/refund. We are not able to take returns due to misspellings or grammatical errors in your approved proof regardless of where they originate. Your signed proof approval indicates that you have reviewed and are accepting the wording and layout shown to be used for the final print.
In the rare event that a personalized or custom order arrives damaged, we will replace it, but we MUST receive photos of the damaged item and its packaging first.
โข RUSH: If yours is a rush order we always appreciate a heads up first to be sure we can accommodate your request. We will advise you of our typical turnaround times on the item you wish to purchase and what type of shipping will be necessary for it to reach you by your desired date. Please note, there may be times we can NOT accommodate a rush order due to our workload.
โข CUSTOM: Occasionally we can take on custom design for personalized items. Please contact us ahead of time to be sure we can accommodate your request and discuss your options so we can set up a custom order just for you. During the height of wedding season, we may be overbooked or unable to take custom orders due to time constraints.
Please double and triple-check your shipping address *prior* to checking out to be sure it is accurate and correct and where you wish your order to be sent. For custom orders especially, we cannot change your address once it has gone to production. This is the case even if the order has not yet shipped out. We encourage you to review your address during the checkout process and update it at that stage before your payment is complete. You can update your address under You-->Account or do it during the checkout process as well.
We are not responsible for an order shipping to an outdated address because it was not updated during purchase. If an order is returned to us due to an outdated address, the buyer will be responsible for new postage.
Our designs and our written content are copyrighted by Starboard Pressยฎ. Duplicating our designs or written content constitutes copyright infringement and is prohibited. All designs are for personal use only and reproduction or resale is strictly prohibited.
Due to differences in manufacturers for monitor screens and mobile devices, we are unable to guarantee a color you see on your screen. There may be some variation in color from screen to print or screen to physical item within normal tolerance. Although we make every effort to represent items accurately, we cannot guarantee your computer monitor will accurately depict with 100% accuracy the actual color of the items. We do not accept returns or offer refunds based on color.
No. As a US-based business, we are not legally allowed or registered to collect and remit VAT, GST, or other import taxes for other countries. Etsy currently has some wording relating to this underneath the listing price that may display based on your location if you're an international customer. Please note that VAT or GST, etc. is **NOT included** in the price listed, and is not collected or remitted by us. Buyers are responsible for any and all import taxes that may be due on the items they purchase from us and thus import from the US. This includes VAT or GST which are taxes assessed by your local government at the time of delivery.

Shipping transit time occurs *after* production time. Shipping carrier & transit options are shown during checkout. Please choose a shipping transit option that takes into account the time it takes the item to be made before shipping, and then the shipping days to get to you.
Please note that production and transit times are **estimates only.** Our process is custom and some variation may occur.
