When I receive your personal check I wait five business days to allow
time for your check to clear before I pack and mail your items.
When I receive your money order your items go out ASAP.
If you pay through PayPal with your credit card your order goes
out ASAP.
If you pay through PayPal with a draft on your bank account (which is
like a personal check written on your account) I wait
until PayPal notifies me that your draft has cleared before I send out
your items.
Some items are not constructed ~~ or only receive the
final finishing steps ~~ after you order them.
But usually I need only one additional day to complete these items.
Personalized or customized items obviously take time to make.
These items include ~~
(a) name signs for children, teachers,
and other adults
(b) personalized note card sets
(c) custom bookmarks
(d) miniature paper baskets
(e) monogrammed bridge-euchre tally sets
and any special-request order.
