Creating globally at Philippine prices. :)

As an easy estimate, please estimate 2usd/invite, minimum of 100 usd per project. We have a ceiling price of 2.5USD/invite (please read below ANTI-BILL SHOCK note)

 

Please read before you proceed:

• We ship from the Philippines, typically through DHL. Packages are in transit for about 5-7 days.
• We do not profit from shipping fees.
• Please consider the shipping as part of our production cost. For international clients, you will find that our prices are still very competitive even with the shipping fees. Most especially if you are ordering a bespoke design!
• Prices are subject to change without prior notice. We only pass on the costs from DHL. They change week to week with fuel prices and foreign exchange rates.
• Typically a set of 25 invitations will fit a box of 6x9x3" (16x23x23cm)
• Ribbons will greatly affect the size of the package. If adding ribbons, please consider that the project will be costed out by volumetric weight.
• We discourage shipping acrylics. Unless it's just a few pieces, it will greatly affect the weight of the invitations.
• ANTI-BILL SHOCK: Though we cannot always predict the shipping costs, we guarantee to absorb shipping costs in excess of 2.5USD / set for projects that are 50 sets an above.
• EXCLUDING projects with ribbon, acrylic main cards, and luxe invitation box
• Only for the standard invitation, about 3 big cards + envelope to fit. EXCLUDING projects that have many extra add ons (duplexed cards, with extra envelopes, extra cards, request for thicker papers, and other things that may add on to the volume / weight compared to a standard invitation)
• When invites are assembled with ribbon, we cannot pack it so flat because of the creases. This usually adds 1usd / set for shipping. We would suggest to order the cards and pack the ribbons separately (no assembly), and you can ribbon the cards DIY.
• To lessen cost, we may opt to pack the invitations unassembled for more efficient packaging and to avoid creases. E.g. envelopes all together, cards of the same size all together, etc.

In a RUSH?

We charge a rush fee for projects that need to finish 1-2 weeks earlier than the published timeline. Please discuss the timeline directly with our team.

For rush projects that need to ship internationally, we offer the following rush fee refund in case of delays.

If the project dispatch is 2-3 days late from the agreed deadline, we will refund 50% of the rush fee.
If the project dispatch is 4 days late or more from the agreed deadline, we will refund 100% of the rush fee.

Please note that project dispatch is the day we turnover to courier (LBC, DHL, Fedex, Lalamove / Grab). If the destination is within Metro Manila, delivery is the same day. If you are elsewhere, the items will be in transit before delivery.

In case the package missed the flight, the refund of the rush fee will be used to pay for the shipping fees, but any cost in excess of the refund must be borne by the client.

Please order your invitations early and provide timely feedback to avoid any delays.

Clients may also arrange their own shipping method.

• Once the project leave the artist’s studio for shipping, the artist is not responsible for any loss, delay, or damage to the product. The client is responsible for all shipping, custom and duties fees. Shipping costs will need to be approved and paid before shipping.
• The client will need to inform the artist if they want to purchase shipping insurance. By default, this is not included.
• If it is determined that there is an error on the artist side, due to printing, depending on the schedule the artist will pay for reprint and the shipping costs, or will provide a refund based on the amount of work that needs to be reprinted. Client agrees to accept the artist’s good faith estimation on how much will need to be refunded.
• If is determined that there is an error on the artist side due to handwritten portions, depending on the schedule, the artist will rewrite the work and pay for shipping costs, or will provide a refund based on the amount of work that needs to be reprinted. Again, the client agrees to accept the artist’s good faith estimation on how much will need to be refunded.
