Effective Date: August 18, 2025
This Shipping Policy ("Policy") outlines the terms and conditions for shipping and delivery of products from Eternal Echoes Letters ("we," "us," or "our"). By placing an order on our website (eternalechoesletters.com), you agree to be bound by this Policy. We reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time, and changes will be posted on our website. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
Please note that while this Policy is drafted to be comprehensive and protective, it is not legal advice. We recommend consulting with a qualified attorney to ensure it meets your specific legal needs.
1. Shipping Methods and Carriers
We ship all orders using reliable third-party carriers, such as the United States Postal Service (USPS), or other reputable mail services like Mail King USA. The specific carrier may vary based on your location, order size, and availability. We select the carrier at our discretion to ensure efficient and cost-effective delivery.

International Shipping: Available to select countries. We use USPS International or equivalent services. Please check during checkout for availability in your country.
2. Order Processing Time
Orders are typically processed within 1-3 business days after payment confirmation, excluding weekends and holidays. Customized items, such as personalized love letters, may require additional processing time (up to 5 business days) to ensure quality and accuracy. You will receive an email confirmation once your order has been processed and shipped.
During peak periods (e.g., holidays or promotional events), processing times may be extended. We will notify you via email if there are any delays.
3. Delivery Time Estimates
Delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed. They begin from the date of shipment, not order placement.

International: 7-21 business days, depending on destination and customs processing. Delays may occur due to international transit.
Factors beyond our control, such as weather, carrier delays, or global events, may affect delivery times. We are not liable for any such delays.

We are not responsible for packages marked as delivered by the carrier but not received (e.g., due to theft). Consider using a secure delivery address.
