Questions about your Order, Shipping, Tracking, Returns? Find your answers here. We thrive to provide a great experience and customer service. If you can't find your answer below, reach us by e-mail at support@craft-ease.com

 

1. Where can I track my order? 

All the order shipments are followed with a tracking code. As soon as you place your order you will receive a confirmation email. This means that we have received your order in our system and authorized your credit card for purchase. 

You will receive tracking information by email once your order is being produced prior to shipment. The order can be tracked here using the given tracking code. 

Note that your ordered items may be sent from different warehouses or be kept by the customs for different periods so they may not arrive together in the same package or on the same day; though would normally be within the normal time frame.

 

2. How long is the shipping?

Each craft kit needs to be made on-demand as you order. When you order a kit, we have to make it in our art production and exhibition center in China. Once our artists have finished their job, we ship it with the shipping method of your choice.

  • Processing Time:  our designers and artists need time to produce each piece - expect around 7 business working days

Time frame = Processing time + shipping lead time:

 

 

So how long should you expect?

  • International Air Saver : from 7 to 20 business days
  • International Express : from 3 to 7 business days (available only at specific locations)
  • Special Expedited : from 2 to 5 weeks (available only at specific locations)  

    Depending on the location, custom clearances and the traffic of delivery service, the expected time frame to have the orders delivered varies. We strive to get your art tools to you as soon as possible, in fact, sooner than the above stated times whenever we can. We however do not have any control over the speed of shipment by delivery service providers nor the process and time line of custom clearance. They also have peak traffic that we have no control of. Please anticipate delays for orders placed in November, December and February.

    It is not uncommon that the parcels are held by the customs for transit between 2 and 4 weeks particularly during peak delivery periods. 

     

    US Collection applicable for specific items with the Ship From USA badge Ship From USA Badge

    • Delivery Time :  from 3 to 7 business days; peak season can require an additional lead time of 4 days

    Note that products of the same order can reach at different times as the products can be shipped from different facilities. No change or cancellation is possible upon the sending of order confirmation email. 

      3. My item tracking shows as delivered but I haven't received it? Is my item lost?

      We use quality carriers such as the national postal service, trusted local couriers, UPS and DHL. However, some items are sometimes passed to neighbors or coworkers. If your order hasn't arrived within 60 days:

      1) Check with neighbors, roommates or office coworkers in case they have taken your package by mistake.

      2) Inquire with the designated local post office using your tracking code as the parcel is in their control as soon as it gets shipped out of our warehouse.

      3) If none of these steps have worked, please contact us at support@craft-ease.com. We will figure something out!

      Please be careful when entering the delivery address during checkout. If your parcel is sent to another address due to incorrect initial input; it is not possible to retrieve it and to resend to another address. A new order with a clear and correct address shall be required in this case. 

       

      4. How do I cancel an order?

      For any order of product in the US collection, change or cancellation is not possible upon the sending of order confirmation by email.

      For orders coming from a China facility, it is possible to cancel an order provided that the cancellation request is done via email to support@craft-ease.com within 24 hours from the time of the order before the order is confirmed.

      Please note that any order that has already been processed cannot be cancelled nor refunded due to the incurred labor and material costs. 

       

      5. How do I change my order?

      For any order of product in the US collection, change or cancellation is not possible upon the sending of order confirmation by email.

      For orders coming from a China facility, it is possible to cancel an order provided that the cancellation request is done via email to support@craft-ease.com within 24 hours from the time of the order before the order is confirmed.

      Please note that any order that has already been processed cannot be cancelled nor refunded due to the incurred labor and material costs. 

       

      6. My order status is in pending, what does it mean?

      The system is updated daily to contain tracking information. A “pending” order is usually in the progress of being processed at the warehouse before being shipped or it hasn't entered the international postal network showing activity.

       

      7. I lost my order number. How can I check the status?

        Multiple delivery service providers would handle the parcel increasing the chance of having the order damaged during transit.  Once the product gets delivered, it is important that you inspect it before signing off for receipt of goods with the carrier. If you notice that the product is damaged, make sure to add a note claim on the receipt and file for a damage claim to the delivery service provider immediately and contact us by email at support@craft-ease.com. That is the only way to ensure that the delivery service provider remains responsible for the replacement.
