How long will my order take?
Most blankets will ship within 2-5 business days from the time your order was received in our system. Please also remember to allow 2-3 days shipping time for Priority Mail.

What are your shipping charges?
For all orders shipped within the United States, we ship USPS Priority Mail. We charge a flat shipping fee of $6.00 (per mailing address) no matter how many blankets are being shipped together. This amount will be automatically added during shopping cart set up. International orders are welcome! Actual shipping charges will be calculated on an individual basis and the difference, if any, will be invoiced separately.

Where are you shipping from?
We are located in Wisconsin, USA.

I need my order really fast! Do you have a rush fee?
We do not charge you extra to rush your order. Please contact us prior to placing your order; if we are able to accommodate you, we certainly will! We also can ship USPS Express (Next Day Service). Please contact us for a shipping quote.

How will my blanket be packaged?
We have carefully considered how to attractively package our unique baby blankets while keeping the health of our children's future environment in mind! In lieu of plastic bags and coated, non-recycled gift boxes, we have chosen natural paper products.

Standard (free) presentation: We will roll the blanket and tuck it inside our signature brown paper "bread bag", with clear window. If shipping directly to baby, a hand written gift card can be included.

$4.00 Deluxe Gift Boxing: Our deluxe gift box is made from natural paperboard that uses 25-30% less fiber than other box materials (that's 25-30% fewer trees!!) We tie up our signature "bakery" box with a sheer ribbon and attach a gift card if a message is provided. Beautiful and a better choice for the environment!

Do you do custom orders.. such as a blanket with flannel on both sides?
Since we make most of our own blankets, some custom orders are possible. Please
contact us with the details of what you are looking for and we will get back to you promptly.

Your security blankets are so small, what's the point?
When a baby is very small, a mini blanket is all you need for them in their car seat, stroller, swing, bassinet, etc. A larger blanket just ends up dragging on the floor.Small enough to keep in the diaper bag, mom's tell us that their baby's mini blanket often doubles as an emergency burp cloth, changing pad or even bib!

I want to say more than three words around the edge of the blanket - can I do that?
Please visit our sister site
www.sew-adorable.com where you can compose any message to baby including birth information, parents, siblings, baptism information, prayers, bible verses and much more. (Blankets hold approximately 500-600 characters.. Say It On A Blanket!)

Why don't you offer any satin or satin-backed baby blankets?
Yes, we know babies love satin - but, a little bit of satin goes a long way. Our satin edging is just enough to satisfy baby's craving for satin and Mom & Dad will be much happier with the blanket in the long run! Here's some of the reasons why we don't offer full satin or satin-backed blankets: 1) They snag and run very easily 2) The satin stains and discolors when wet 3) They're slippery! They just won't stay where you want them (on baby - not the floor!) 4) It's almost impossible to swaddle a baby in satin fabric 5) Most satin fabric is very inexpensive and won't hold up to many years of loving and washing.

Where can I find pictures of your vintage and designer fabrics?
Please visit our Blanket Options Guide - go to the "Fabric and Color Guide" link and scroll down to the vintage fabric section. Please note: all of our designer and vintage fabrics have very limited quantities and change often. We do our best to keep our website updated, but if you happen to choose a fabric that is no longer available, you will be notified promptly

What forms of payment do you accept?
We can accept almost any form of payment for our personalized baby gifts (most major credit cards, e-check, Paypal Acct.) because we utilize the Paypal Shopping Cart service. We feel that this is one of the most secure payment methods available. We never even see your personal financial information!

Do you offer wholesale pricing?
We do not offer wholesale pricing. We strive to keep our prices as low as possible for our retail customers. Therefore, we have decided to not over-inflating our pricing in order to be able to offer "wholesale" programs.

I just submitted an order.. now what?
We do most of our correspondence through email. If we have any questions, we will be contacting you within 24 hours of receiving your order (usually much sooner). Otherwise, a shipping tracking number will be emailed to you when your order is shipped. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us.
