Starcove Policies & FAQ

Eco-Friendly Made to Order

We don't keep any stock and craft everything to order. This effectively eliminates any excess waste and is the most effective way to avoid overproduction (none) and keep our environmental footprint small. We print with eco-friendly water-based inks.

Made to order processing times: 5-7 business days

SHIPPING & Processing Time

USA: FREE SHIPPING (1st sticker is $4.59 but any additional is free)

- All our items (except stickers) are free standard shipping (3-5 days) in the USA 
- *Stickers shipping is only $ 4.59 for the first sticker and free for any additional sticker. It is therefore advantageous to order multiple stickers.
- Contact us for expedited shipping

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We ship worldwide and have shipped to over 40 countries. We craft our items in 3 locations (USA, Europe, and China) which keeps our shipping cost small.

- We add a small standard international shipping fee to cover the extra cost.
- We do ship to AOP destinations, Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Please allow for longer shipment times for these destinations.

Tracking

Once your item has shipped you will receive an email with a tracking number for your purchase. Please note that we only provide the tracking when it updates which is usually a few days after it has shipped.

Shipping from the USA to international: the tracking often shows only progress while in the USA and when it arrives. Local countries often do not provide any tracking updates.

Address changes

We cannot be responsible for wrong addresses that are provided to us. Please make sure to check your address and update it before completing the order. Address changes post-purchase are usually not possible but contact us within 12h of placing the order to see if we can still accommodate. After this window, we typically purchase the transport services to your designated address once the item goes into production. Moreover, many payment systems require us to ship to the provided ship-to address, which further limits our ability to modify shipping details post-purchase.

Please note that once a tracking code has been generated, it is associated with the address provided at the time of purchase, even if the package has not yet been scanned as processed by the carrier.

The best course of action is to collect the item from the address that was provided when placing the order. 

Address Accuracy and Reshipping Policy

At Starcove, we strive to ensure that your orders are processed accurately and delivered promptly. However, it's crucial that the information provided by you, the customer, is complete and correct. In the event that an order is not delivered due to an error in the address provided by the customer, the following policy will apply:

Order Verification: Customers are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the shipping address before order submission. We recommend double-checking for any typos or missing details.

Customer Responsibility: The customer will be responsible for the cost of reshipping or remaking the item. This includes situations where the order is returned to our facility or remains undelivered due to address errors. A failed delivery isn't returned to us, as it ends up somewhere in the postal system and we don't receive it back.

Reshipping Process: To initiate the reshipping of an order, the customer must provide a corrected address and agree to pay any additional shipping fees. The reshipping fee must be paid before the item is dispatched again.

No Refund for Address Errors: Refunds will not be provided for items not delivered due to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer.

Time Limit for Reshipping: Customers have a window of 30 days from the notification of non-delivery to request and pay for reshipping. If this window is exceeded, the customer may forfeit the item and any payment made.

Exceptions: starcove reserves the right to evaluate exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case basis, particularly in cases of extenuating circumstances.

By placing an order with Starcove, customers agree to this policy. This policy is designed to encourage accuracy in order information and to ensure fairness in the handling of shipping issues.

Where do you ship to?

We ship globally and have many customers in USA, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. We do ship to Hawaii, AOPs and Puerto Rico. We have shipped to about 40 countries so far.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

We are an eco-friendly brand and believe in minimizing waste. For this reason, we make all our items on demand. Depends on the item and where we produce the item. Please read the description of the item.

At the moment we cannot accommodate delivery in less than 7 days. 

USA ORDERS

Processing (including crafting):

- From 1-8 business days in non-peak moments and could be up to 10 business days during the year-end holiday.

- If you order custom items, please add time for sending the mockup and your reply. We often find that replies are not quick (within 12 hours) which affects the total delivery timeline. 

Shipping once produced:

- USA produced items shipped to the USA: 5-7 business days

- Hong Kong produced items shipped to the USA: 10-15 business days

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

International orders take longer to ship and average around 10- 20 days depending on the final destination.

We custom produce the products to your orders. Once we ship them the order will arrive at your door in 10 days depending on where you are on the map.  At the moment we don't offer faster or express delivery times.

I NEED TO RETURN AN ITEM.  HOW DO I GO ABOUT THAT?

What happened? We do offer returns or issue refunds for a broken item or if you received the wrong item (except sizing errors).  If something is busted, just shoot us an email at service@starcovedesign.com and we will evaluate how to make it right.

30-day Returns & Exchanges

I gladly accept returns and exchanges - please email prior to sending

Contact us within 7 days of delivery.
Ship items back within 30 days of delivery. Please use tracking when sending back an item. We do not cover the shipment cost of returning an item. Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs and any loss in value if an item isn't returned in original condition. Please only ship an item back after contacting us.
We don't accept any unannounced returns and will not provide a refund in this case.
Return address: Starcove, 11 Sunshine Ave, Riverside, Connecticut, 06878, USA

I do not accept cancellations, or forced returns

That means that we won't accept an order to be canceled by you after you have received the item. A sale was made and this sale needs to be maintained. We do not accept a forced return. If you send us an item back as a way to request a refund, we do not accept that.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order. Our ultimate goal is to make customers happy.

The following items can't be returned or exchanged

Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
  • Custom or personalized orders after you have approved the mockup. Please understand the mockup is digital and the item you will receive is printed. For this reason, the colors will be slightly different.
  • Perishable products (like food or flowers)
  • Digital downloads
  • Intimate items such as underwear (for health/hygiene reasons)

Conditions of return

Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.

Wrong color, prints, or sizes from what you ordered

If you received a different item than what you ordered, including incorrect colors, prints, or wrong sizes, the order is eligible for replacement. 

Step 1: Send a photo
We will need to receive clear photos of the items to investigate what happened. We cannot accept any wrong claim without any visual proof (photo or video).
Please note that colors on a computer screen are different from printed color. The brightness on a computer screen cannot be matched when printing. This is important to note for any colorful items.

Step 2: Send the item back to our address. 
Since you are not happy with the item and we will resolve the issue, the item needs to be sent back. 

We will send a replacement or provide a refund after receipt of the wrong item.

Customs and import taxes

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs. Please note that although most of our items are made in the USA, we also have several items produced in Europe or China.
