❤FAQ❤ - Frequently Asked Questions
WHY HAVE I BEEN SENT A SHIPPING NOTIFICATION BUT MY TRACKING ISN'T ACTIVE?
❤ Our team processes all our orders in batches, when your shipping label is printed you will get a notification including your tracking number. That number won't activate until your parcel is in the hands of our shipping company. This can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks dependant on the speed that our team is currently capable of going. Please remember that these times may vary, as we are a no crunch working environment and want our staff members to be moving at a comfortable and healthy pace. Keep checking your tracking number periodically and it will update (if you are waiting for over a month since being assigned your tracking number, please contact support as this could indicate that our shipment provider received your parcel but lost it)
I GOT A TRACKING NUMBER BUT MY ORDER ISNT COMING UP AS ACTIVE
❤ Our shipping team is in the process of getting your order ready to go, they've printed off the order slip but it can take a little bit of time for all the items to come together if you've got pre-orders. We do big batches of each Wart when they are ready, so this could mean that your wart has been sculpted and is just waiting to get its finishing touches like paint or other details before it makes its way out to you!
❤WORRY WARTS QUESTIONS
❤What are Worry Warts made of?
Our Worry Warts are made out of quality polymer clay and sculpted lovingly by hand. We also use lacquers specifically formulated to be appropriate for the clay, to help preserve their life span. Unfortunately due to some individuals replicating our work, we aren't able to go into further details about the specific products so we can protect what we've worked so hard to create.
❤ How much are your Worry Warts?
Warts vary in price based on their styles or the complexity of designs, shipping rates can also effect cost because we offer free worldwide shipping. For a list of our most recent prices and designs CLICK HERE to go to our announcements section and see what the most recent update prices were.
❤ My order for surprise Worry Warts hasn't shipped out yet, why?
All worry warts are handmade, and sometimes we get a large volume of orders in a short span of time. There can be a bit of a wait to get them made, but we promise they are coming and have been made with extra love and care for you!
❤ Will you make me a custom Worry Wart?
Sorry, at this time we are not taking on ANY sort of custom work. We're focusing on making personal and creative designs that we've thought up! Thanks so much for considering me for this though!
❤ When are the Worry Warts restocking?
The best way to know when they will be back in stock is to follow my instagram or sign up here at the bottom of home page for my email list. You'll be notified before anyone else of when they will be back in stock again. Thanks for your support and patience!
❤ I want a specific Worry Wart style from the surprise sets, or a specific eye colour from a pre-made set.
At this time we are experiencing an incredibly high volume of orders and cannot complete any specific requests. We appreciate your support and kindness and patience, the surprise warts are supposed to be a surprise and are meant to inspire creativity and spontaneity in me as an artist.
❤ Can I make my own Worry Wart?
Worry warts are an original piece of artwork, and an original concept. I own the copyright to them and this is how I make my living. It took me a long time to develop the idea behind them and they hold a lot of personal meaning for me.So people copying, and reselling takes away from the work I did to make them and get them to where they are. I ask that people not copy my work, or replicate my designs and concept in any part it as it's very near and dear to my heart.
❤ Can I just have a Worry Wart?
I wish I could give everyone worry warts but sadly the supplies and shipping cost lots of money, and I need to be able to support myself. Thanks for understanding that this is my passion but it's also my job and how I make my living.
How do you pronounce your name?
