Shipping policy
Orders with This Little Light Inc. (hereafter referred to as, "TLL") must be placed via its online platforms, or at an authorized POS, where all information required is properly transmitted and important financial information is encrypted for your protection. We do not store financial information on file, and will not accept responsibility for orders made using other methods. TLL is not responsible for a lack of data delaying your order and will make every attempt to remedy this once the discovery is made.
Free Shipping is offered on orders shipping to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC. This offer is calculated before tax and after applied promo codes or discounts. TLL reserves the right to exclude some items from this offer, and this information will be noted in the description for any item that has been excluded. For orders containing only materials, the free shipping threshold is $100.
Our carrier of choice, in most cases, is UPS. Should your order qualify for free shipping, it may be sent via UPS Ground or USPS, depending on the product type. If you desire an upgraded shipping method, please contact us at info@thislittlelightlaserdesigns.com BEFORE placing your order.
Processing
Processing times are communicated on the homepage of the website, under “Important Notices” on each product page, in the Frequently Asked Question section, and in this Shipping Policy.
Processing time is within the reasonable control of TLL and is dependent on the type of product. Products made to order or including personalized engravings can take up to several weeks to make. Products we have on hand that require no personalization can ship out in 2-3 business days. If there is ever an issue, we will be in touch through the contact information you’ve shared when placing your order. We suggest that you ensure you’ve provided correct information at the time of order, as transactions through PayPal will frequently alter the e-mail you expected to use for the purchase. We generally prefer to contact via a phone call for the fastest service, but if you do not wish to receive expedient service, please understand that it is your responsibility to keep an eye on the e-mail address you provided.
Transit
Transit time is based on the shipping service chosen at checkout. TLL offers live shipping rates from the carriers themselves, which are weight calculated and include a minimal handling fee. The applicable rates are determined on the basis of Shipment and Shipper characteristics, including Shipment weight and size and origin to destination distance, and are subject to change.
