Once your order is in the hands of USPS, FSF is NOT responsible for it anymore. Orders are shipped via USPS Ground Advantage or USPS Priority Mail and do include Standard Shipping Insurance that is provided by USPS. This coverage is provided against lost, damaged, or missing contents and is limited to a maximum liability of $100. In order to file a claim, you will need to go through the USPS website and follow their instructions.

FSF highly recommends you do not opt out of Route Shipping Protection. By opting out of Route, you are taking full liability of any damages or loss that incurs during the shipping/delivery process that may not be covered by the standard insurance provided by USPS. Here is a brief comparison of the two.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking details. Please allow 24 hours for tracking information to update. You can track your order using the tracking number on the carriers website.

Products are delivered to the address provided by you during checkout. Upon delivery, please check the contents and report any issues promptly. If your package appears visibly damaged, you may refuse to accept it.

FSF is not liable for delivery errors due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by you during the checkout process. In the case that delivery has failed due to incorrect information, FSF will reach out to you to work on correcting this error. You will be responsible for any additional shipping costs.

I strive to get orders out as fast as I can. As a one-flamingo flock, all items are handmade with care. The standard Turn Around Time (TAT) on order containing only Ready To Ship (AKA retail) items is 1-3 business days, but these orders often go out the same day as the order is placed. TAT on orders containing any Made To Order items, may be UP TO ten business days. The TAT on any MTO item/s will be discussed at the time of ordering. 

Please note that during high-volume periods, processing time may take longer than usual. Please allow additional days in transit for delivery. If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, you will be contacted via the email attached to your order.

If you have any problems or any questions, please contact us at the email below.

The Free-Spirited Flamingo reserves the right to update this policy at any time. Please review it regularly.

Thank you for choosing The Free-Spirited Flamingo (FSF). I appreciate you and I want you to LOVE your purchase. I do my absolute best to ensure the accuracy of every order that is shipped out. Items are handmade and will not be 100% perfect. I do my best to get them as perfect as I can, but that cannot always happen. I am only human, not a robot. With that said, these slight imperfections make your item/s even more unique in its own little way.

As a purchaser of item/s from FSF, the purchaser agrees to the following:

Due to the nature of this business and the uniqueness and/or personalization of each and every item sold by FSF, know that ALL SALES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL. Carefully review your order before confirming your purchase.

I know how frustrating getting damaged or incorrect items can be. Because of this, the ONLY exceptions to the No Refund Policy include:

> Defective or Damaged Item/s: Please inspect your order upon receiving. Damaged merchandise must be reported within FIVE days of delivery. Damaged merchandise will only be exchanged with the exact same item.

> Wrong Item Sent: If you receive an item that is different than the one you ordered, it must be reported within FIVE days of delivery.

> Missing Item/s: Missing item/s must be reported within FIVE days of delivery. Replacement will be at the discretion of The Free-Spirited Flamingo.

FSF offers multiple solutions when your order is not correct. We may require a photo and/or for the original item to be returned when providing a resolution. Returning items will be at the expense of you, the customer. FSF cannot be held responsible for goods damaged or lost in return transit. FSF is unable to issue a refund without proof of return delivery. You must use a trackable mail service. If you are instructed to return the original item and it is not received, FSF reserves the right to not refund nor replace the item.

Due to the nature of the production process, slight variations and small imperfections are NOT considered damage or flaws. Variation in material, production equipment, and heating are acceptable industry standards and are not considered damaged. Due to lighting and variations in monitors, smartphones/tablet displays, different viewing angles and pictures, objects may differ in color slightly. I am not responsible if the colors show differently in person.

Due to the very quick Turn Around Time on getting orders shipped out, you have one hour from the time your order is placed to cancel it. In order to exercise your right of cancellation, you must inform FSF of this decision by means of a clear written statement. You can hit “reply” right on your order confirmation email to do this.

If your order was marked as a gift when purchased and then shipped directly to you, if a return is accepted, you will receive a store credit for the value of your return. If the gift giver gave the gift right to you, and a return is accepted, the refund will be issued to the original payment method.

To report a problem, please contact us at the email below with your order number, details of the problem, and any photos that will be helpful. If you have any questions or require further assistance, also contact us at the email below.

Welcome to The Free-Spirited Flamingo! The terms "FSF", “we”, “us” and “our” refer to The Free-Spirited Flamingo. The Free-Spirited Flamingo operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated shopping experience (the “Services”). The Free-Spirited Flamingo is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. 

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”) describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

 
Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

SECTION 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every effort to provide an accurate representation of our products and services in our online stores. However, please note that colors or product appearance may differ from how they may appear on your screen due to the type of device you use to access the store and your device settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of any products or services purchased by you will meet your expectations or be the same as depicted or rendered in our online stores.

 
All descriptions of products are subject to change at any time without notice at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of any products that we offer to any person, geographic region or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. The Free-Spirited Flamingo reserves the right to accept or decline your order for any reason at its discretion. Your order is not accepted until The Free-Spirited Flamingo confirms acceptance. We must receive and process your payment before your order is accepted. Please review your order carefully before submitting, as The Free-Spirited Flamingo may be unable to accommodate cancellation requests after an order is accepted. In the event that we do not accept, make a change to, or cancel an order, we will attempt to notify you by contacting the e‑mail, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time the order was made.

 
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange solely in accordance with our Refund Policy.

You represent and warrant that your purchases are for your own personal or household use and not for commercial resale or export.

Prices posted in our online stores may be different from prices offered in physical stores or in online or other stores operated by third parties. We may offer, from time to time, promotions on the Services that may affect pricing and that are governed by terms and conditions separate from these Terms. If there is a conflict between the terms for a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will govern.

We recommend that you do not use insecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
