Q:         Do you accept rushed orders?
A.         Because working with selected carriers has been a problem in the past, we no longer do rushed shipments.  Rushed shipments were a stressful scenario for both our customers as well as our staff, so we have eliminated this option so that we can care for every order on a more personalized basis without preferred service to selected clientèle.  We can now assure that we will keep on top of every order and let you know well in advance if any issue has come up where you may need to cancel or modify you order.  Please plan accordingly for your shipment and we will take care of the details to make sure you receive your order as soon as possible.

Q:         How much do you charge for shipping?
A:         Shipping charges are determined by the total weight of your package and will be displayed during the checkout process once a shipping address has been entered Be sure to enter all pertinent information with regards to your shipping address, such as apartment numbers, for correct delivery.

Q:         Do you ship orders outside of the US?
A:         Unfortunately, we only ship throughout the Unites States. We can, however, ship to a third party. If you have a friend or relative in the States, you can have us ship your gifts to them and they, in turn, may reship the packages to you.

Q:         Do you ship to PO boxes or APOs?
A:         Unfortunately we are not able to ship to PO or APO boxes or to addresses outside of the United States.

Q:         What is your policy on unclaimed or refused shipments?
A:         Unclaimed shipments that are returned to California Dream Life will be refunded minus all shipping cost. Refused packages returned will be refunded from the order minus all shipping costs incurred. The customer will be contacted by email only.

Q:         What happens if I have moved before I received my order or I put in the wrong address?
A:         Please plan accordingly for the arrival of your purchase.  Verify your shipping address carefully before submitting your order. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that addresses given to us as a shipping destination will be received by the customer. If the package is left at the door, it will be the customers' sole responsibility to ensure receipt. In the event customer makes any alteration to shipping address after package has been scanned into the UPS system, California Dream Life is not responsible for any delay or additional charges that may incur as a result of changes made by the customer.
