FAQ's & Store Policies

By placing an order with Southern Hospitality Company, you are agreeing to the following store policies: 

Custom Order Minimums:

We love to create new designs for our customers! With custom designs, comes quite a bit of back and forth conversation with our customers that often takes away from our regularly placed orders. In order to make doing proofs and many changes worth our time, we have created a few minimum order counts that are required for new designs and custom listings. We thank you for understanding that we are just two people trying to earn our living through our little shop! We also charge a $50 deposit to begin designing. Please note that during the holiday season, we will not be accepting custom order requests. 

  • Invitations: Minimum of 30

  • Stationery: Minimum of 50 (2 sets of 25)

  • Gift Tags: Minimum of 60 (3 sets of 20)

  • Place Cards: Minimum of 50

  • Calling Cards/Enclosures: Minimum of 50

Non-Personalized Returns:

Non-personalized items may be returned within 14 days of purchase with the original receipt for refund minus shipping in original payment method and a 10% restocking fee. We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the items have any sign of wear, alteration, misuse or damage. Items returned to us with damages will be shipped back to you and are subject to additional shipping cost. Returns will be processed upon receiving merchandise in-hand and the credit will processed in 3-5 business days upon receipt. We do not offer free returns at this time. Please note that shipping and handling charges are not refundable. The cost of the return shipping will be deducted from your refund or store credit. Return shipping costs are not reimbursed by Southern Hospitality Co.

Personalized Returns:

We do not accept returns for personalized items. 

Damages:

We are sorry to hear that your package arrived damaged in transit. For any orders received damaged, please note these claims have to be received within 7 business days of delivery or cannot be returned. Please email photographic proof of damage to both the product and the box with the stamp/label pictured within 7 business days or it will not be accepted. We will follow-up with more information after damaged photos are sent. DO NOT DISCARD OR RETURN ANY PRODUCTS UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.

My product isn't "perfect" to my standards:

Most of our items are hand-crafted, especially our glassware, painted toleware, and paper products. For that reason, slight imperfections, such as small bubbles, swirls, and minor bumps, are expected in handcrafted items. At a moderate level, these imperfections will pass quality control, and therefore will not qualify for replacements. Should you have any concerns, please contact us and we will do our best to resolve the issue, with this disclaimer in mind.

Sale Items:

All sale items are final, and cannot be returned or exchanged.

Return to Sender:

We print our postage labels directly from our website. Meaning, there is no way for us to alter provided address once the customer has written it on their order at checkout. Aka please make sure that the address provided is correct. Should your package be returned to sender to our office for any reason, we are not responsible to cover the charges to re-send the package. Customer will be notified that their package was returned and we will send a custom listing to the email provided to for the customer to cover the shipping charges to resend to the correct address. 

Production Times:

All production times are noted in the individual product descriptions. Your patience is appreciated as we custom design and produce every product just for you. Production times are estimated with the understanding orders are submitted with all necessary information. If there is any follow-up needed, this will delay production in order to ensure 100% accuracy in order details.

*Expect delays in production during holidays*

Shipping:

Shipping time will vary by order due to the custom nature of our products. Each estimated shipping time is available in product descriptions. When orders consist of personalized and non-personalized, items will be combined to ship in as few packages as possible. In most cases, the complete order will ship together at the furthest time frame to accommodate production times of personalized items.

I never received my order but tracking says it was delivered. What now?

In almost all cases the customer will receive tracking information when the product ships. At that point, delivery of the product is out of our control and now the responsibility of the carrier. Refunds are not given and replacement orders are not the financial responsibility of SoHospitalityCo for claims of non-delivery if tracking shows it was delivered. 

1. Wait a few days since majority of cases the package will arrive a few days later
2. Check with neighbors
3. Check with family members living in your home
4. Ask the delivery person where he/she left the package
5. Call your local delivery office to see if it is sitting there or on the truck

All lost / stolen package claims must be handled with them directly at the links below:

UPS—https://www.ups.com/us/en/help-center/delivery-issues/lost-package.page

USPS—https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm

 I received an email that my order has been shipped, but the tracking is not updating:

Good news! Well, sort of. Tracking systems are notoriously unreliable. In our experience, when this happens, your order IS in fact on its way... but tracking is, for some reason, not updating. This usually happens when a carrier forgets to scan a package. Sit tight, be patient, and allow a few days to pass before checking again. 

It is not the responsibility of our shop to provide tracking updates after the order has left our shop. Should you have additional questions, you are welcome to speak directly with the mail carrier. Thank you in advance for avoiding future “just checking in” emails. The more time we spend responding to these, the less time we can be processing orders

Can I cancel or make a change to my order?

Custom orders cannot be cancelled once an order has been placed. Unless there is an error on our part, the order will be fulfilled and charged for. Our shipping partners are very fast and orders are processed immediately once they are received. We are unable to make any changes to order details (name, address, products, personalization, combining orders, cancellations, etc.) once an order is submitted through our shop. Please verify your shipping address at checkout before submitting your order. 

Wholesale availability

We do not offer wholesale products at this time.

Do you offer discounts?

We are a small, two person company, that has extremely competitive prices. We love to keep our prices low so that a wide range of customers can afford our precious products without breaking the bank. We would love to give discounts, but we would actually make no money on our products since our profit margin is truly very low... and we would appreciate y'all helping us keep our lights on and bellies full. Thank you for supporting our dream!

How do I write my monogram?

We print your monogram in the EXACT order you write it.

  • Ex. Ashlyn Parker Walters - aWp (first, last, middle)

  • Couple's Initials Ex: Scott and Julie Pederson - jPs (wife, last, husband)

If you want, you can provide your whole name which makes our lives easier to double check and be 100% sure it's right!

You can also email us your personalization to SouthernHospitalityCompany@gmail.com if you prefer.

What if my product isn’t “perfect” to my standards?

We are bummed that you are disappointed with your order. Everything in our shop is made by hand so there may be small imperfections on each piece such as brushstrokes or air bubbles to name a few. We do want it to be clear just as we stated in the item’s description, that every single product is handmade so there will sometimes be small human errors on something in your order in our shop. That is what makes it handmade. We treasure our products and love that each one is different and not made by a huge machine. We hope that makes sense moving forward in your ordering as we would love to not field questions or comments about how you do not think something is “perfect” in your eyes.
