If you are not sure which topic fits, choose this one; we will sort it out on our side.</p>\n<h2>If the ticket links do not open an email</h2>\n<p>Some browsers and work computers are not set up to open an email app from a link. In that case, write a new email to <strong>support@giftmeadow.shop</strong> from any email account and copy the subject line from the topic above, for example &#8220;RETURN or EXCHANGE &#8211; order number: 1057&#8221;. It reaches the same inbox and is answered just as quickly.</p>\n<h2>What happens after you send a ticket</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>The life of a Gift Meadow support ticket</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Step</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">When</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you receive</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Your email arrives</td>\n<td>Immediately</td>\n<td>For changes, this time counts for the 24-hour window</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>We reply</td>\n<td>Within 24 hours on business days</td>\n<td>An answer, a decision, or a free return label and instructions</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Follow-up, if we need a carrier or print partner</td>\n<td>As soon as we hear back</td>\n<td>An update with what we found and the next step</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Resolution</td>\n<td>When the change, exchange, refund or replacement is done</td>\n<td>A written confirmation by email</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Tips for a one-reply answer</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>One ticket per order keeps things tidy; if you have two orders, mention both numbers.</li>\n<li>Keep replies in the same email thread so the history stays together.</li>\n<li>Write personalisation text exactly as it should be printed — capitals, apostrophes, spaces.</li>\n<li>For size questions, give measurements in inches if you can.</li>\n<li>For gifts, tell us the name on the parcel and the delivery address.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Example tickets</h2>\n<h3>A change inside the 24-hour window</h3>\n<p>Subject: CHANGE or CANCEL &#8211; order number: 1071. &#8220;Hello, on the Grandkids Names Garden Flag please change the names to: Ava, Leo, Mia, Sam, Zoe — I forgot Zoe. The title stays Nana&#8217;s Garden. Thank you!&#8221; We reply with the full new text written out so you can check it once more, and confirm when the change is made.</p>\n<h3>A doormat that is too big</h3>\n<p>Subject: RETURN or EXCHANGE &#8211; order number: 1088. &#8220;The Daisy Row Welcome doormat in 36 × 24 in is wider than our apartment door. Could I exchange it for 24 × 16 in?&#8221; We reply with a free return label, and once the mat reaches us, the smaller one goes into preparation and the price difference is refunded within 7 days.</p>\n<h3>A parcel that seems late</h3>\n<p>Subject: WHERE IS MY ORDER &#8211; order number: 1094. &#8220;Ordered 19 business days ago, shipping to Ontario, Canada. Tracking last updated 6 days ago in the US.&#8221; We check with the carrier, update you, and if the parcel cannot be found agree a replacement or a refund with you.</p>\n<h3>A question before buying</h3>\n<p>Subject: PRODUCT or SIZE QUESTION. &#8220;Our front door frame is 36 inches wide with a storm door that opens outward and sits about 1 inch above the step. Which mat size would you suggest?&#8221; We reply with a recommendation and the reason, so you can decide with confidence.</p>\n<h2>What a ticket can and cannot do</h2>\n<table class=\"policy-table\">\n<caption>Common ticket requests and what we can arrange</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Request</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Can we do it?</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Notes</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Fix personalisation text</td>\n<td>Yes, within 24 hours of ordering</td>\n<td>After that, if not yet printed, we still try</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Change size or colour</td>\n<td>Yes, within 24 hours</td>\n<td>Any price difference requested or refunded</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Send to a different address</td>\n<td>Yes, within 24 hours</td>\n<td>Only to the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Return or exchange</td>\n<td>Yes, within 60 days of delivery</td>\n<td>Free return label for every approved return</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Proof or mockup before printing</td>\n<td>No</td>\n<td>We print exactly what is typed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Upload a photo or logo</td>\n<td>No</td>\n<td>Personalisation uses typed text only</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Print a team, brand or character name</td>\n<td>No</td>\n<td>See our Intellectual Property Policy</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Guarantee a delivery date</td>\n<td>No</td>\n<td>We give honest estimates: 1–3 + 7–14 business days</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Tickets from gift recipients</h2>\n<p>If you received a Gift Meadow flag, mat or sign as a present and something is not right, you can open a ticket yourself. Use the return or damage topic above, and instead of an order number tell us the name on the parcel and roughly when it arrived. We find the order and offer an exchange or store credit in your name, or check with the buyer if you would like a refund to go back to them.</p>\n<h2>Bulk and group orders</h2>\n<p>Ordering several personalised pieces at once — family-name flags for every sibling, welcome mats for a new street, garden signs for a community plot? Use the general ticket and send a simple list with one line per piece: product name, size, colour (where offered) and the exact text. We confirm what we can do and how long it will take before you place the order, so there are no surprises. Each piece is still printed exactly as written in your list, without a proof, so the list is worth checking twice.</p>\n<h2>Accessibility support</h2>\n<p>If our website is hard to use with assistive technology, or you would prefer to order entirely by email, open a general ticket and tell us what would help. We can send product details and policies as plain text and walk you through an order step by step.</p>\n<h2>Following up on a ticket</h2>\n<p>If you need to add something — a photo you forgot, a second name for a flag, a change of mind about refund or store credit — reply in the same email thread rather than starting a new ticket. Everything stays together and nothing gets answered twice. If 24 business hours have passed without a reply, check your spam folder first, then send a one-line follow-up in the same thread; it moves your ticket back to the top of the inbox.</p>\n<h2>Response times and business days</h2>\n<p>Our business days are Monday to Friday, excluding US public holidays. A ticket sent on Friday evening is answered on Monday — still within 24 hours of the next business day starting. Because the 24-hour change window counts from when your email arrives, you never lose your chance to fix a typo just because it is the weekend.</p>\n<h2>Keeping your information safe</h2>\n<p>We only ask for what we need to help: your order number, the email used at checkout, the delivery address for a parcel question, and photos for a damage claim. We never ask for card numbers, security codes, bank details, passwords or one-time passcodes. Our replies always come from an address ending in @giftmeadow.shop. If you receive a message that looks like ours but asks for payment details, do not reply — forward it to us.</p>\n<h2>Other ways to find answers</h2>\n<p>Many questions are answered instantly on our <a href=\"/faqs/\">FAQs</a> page and in the <a href=\"/help-center/\">Help Center</a>. For delivery times, see <a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a>; to reach us in other ways, see <a href=\"/contact-us/\">Contact Us</a>.
