We run on time or early. Please allow the full processing time before contacting us for order status updates. 

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, many USPS shipments have been delayed. Please be prepared for possible delays if USPS First Class Mail, USPS Priority Mail, or our "FREE SHIP" option are selected at checkout. These are the most economical shipping methods, but are also the most likely to have delays. We recommend UPS for urgent orders. 

Shipping options and estimated delivery speeds are shown during the checkout process. 

Rush processing is not currently available. We are not able to accommodate requests to rush an order after it has been placed.

We do not have a rush processing option at this time, and we cannot guarantee an order will arrive by a certain date.

All shipments will be sent without a signature requirement unless specifically requested. If you would like to have a signature required for delivery, please leave us a note in the comment section at checkout or send us a message before you order ships.

We will do our best to update the shipping address on a pending order, but we cannot promise we will be able to successfully update an address if the order is preparing to ship. Please contact us right away if your order has an incorrect shipping address and we will do our best to assist you.

Personalized products and made-to-order items are considered final sale and are not eligible for a return or exchange.  If there is a problem with your order or you have a question about what you received please email help@sugarhouseshop.com and include your name, order number, a description of the problem, and a picture if applicable and we will get back to you right away.

We accept returns and exchanges on regular price muslin swaddle blankets, waffle blankets, and other ready-to-ship items within 14 days of order delivery. Sale items and personalized products are not eligible for returns or exchanges. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer, and original shipping charges will not be refunded. If the original order was processed with free shipping, the actual shipping charges we incurred will be deducted from the refund. To begin a return or exchange, please email returns@sugarhouseshop.com.

Although most packages arrive on time, there are occasional delays with carriers like USPS and UPS. If a package is stuck in transit and the delivery is delayed beyond the expected delivery deadline, we are unable to expedite the process since it is an issue with the carrier. Based on our experience shipping thousands of orders, delayed packages almost always arrive shortly after the expected delivery. 

Check all possible places the package could be - porch, mailbox, side door, neighbor's house, other members of your household, etc. If not found, contact the shipping carrier right away. For USPS deliveries, find the phone number for your local post office and call the local branch directly or visit missingmail.usps.com.

Occasionally a shipping carrier will accidentally mark a package as "delivered" while it is still in their possession. In this case, the package will usually arrive the next business day.

We do not accept responsibility for packages after the shipping carrier has confirmed delivery. If the package has been marked as "delivered" but cannot be located, the customer must contact the shipping carrier directly to resolve. Contact the carrier immediate for best results.

For extra protection from a lost package scenario (very rare in our experience), customers can elect to request a signature for delivery or purchase an insured shipping method like Priority Mail or UPS Ground. If an insured shipment has a lost package, we will file a claim with the shipping carrier and replace the shipment if the claim is approved. Please email help@sugarhouseshop.com if you have a lost package. 

We aim to make and ship products quickly, and therefore we do not send design proofs before processing orders. All of our font and colors options can be previewed in advance on our website using our font preview tool (link at bottom of page). Please use the font preview tool to select your options before placing your order.

If you wish to add a gift message, please type your message in the notes section on the cart/checkout page and we will print that message on the packing slip. Our packing slips never show price or payment information.

We do not offer gift wrapping for orders. We use attractive, minimal packaging that creates little waste and keeps our packages small and light for the best shipping rates.
