Shipping Policy

This Shipping Policy explains how orders placed through Tabasquish.us.com are processed, packed, shipped, and delivered. Our store sells soft sensory toys, squishy toys, stress-relief squeeze toys, collectible novelty items, silicone-style toys, DIY craft kits, small gifts, and related playful accessories.

Soft toys and squishy items may have flexible textures, decorative surfaces, glitter details, clear or gel-like finishes, small accessories, craft components, molded shapes, and packaging that needs careful handling. For that reason, packing and shipping methods may vary by product type, order size, destination, temperature conditions, and carrier requirements.

Order Processing Time

Orders are processed after payment has been authorized and order details have passed review. Processing time may vary based on product availability, payment verification, order volume, packaging requirements, holidays, weather events, carrier conditions, or fulfillment workload.

Most standard orders begin processing within a normal business handling window. Orders placed during weekends, holidays, promotional periods, gift seasons, new product launches, or unusually high-volume times may require additional handling time.

If an order contains incorrect address details, incomplete payment information, unusual activity, product availability issues, or signs of payment risk, processing may be delayed while we review the order or contact the customer.

United States Shipping

United States domestic orders are eligible for free standard shipping unless a different shipping condition is clearly shown at checkout. Free standard shipping applies to eligible domestic addresses serviceable by our available carriers.

Delivery estimates shown at checkout are estimates only and are not guaranteed delivery dates. Carrier volume, weather, regional disruptions, address accuracy, holiday schedules, delivery access, and fulfillment conditions may affect the final delivery date.

Some orders may ship with protective wrapping, soft packaging, cartons, boxes, or inner packing depending on product type and order contents. Squishy toys, DIY kits, glitter items, small accessories, and collectible items may require different packing methods to reduce crushing, tearing, missing parts, leakage, surface marks, or packaging damage during normal transit.

International Shipping

Tabasquish.us.com may offer shipping to select international destinations where carrier service, customs rules, and product restrictions allow. International availability may vary by country, region, order value, product type, material restrictions, toy safety rules, and shipping method.

International delivery can take longer than domestic delivery because of export processing, customs review, import clearance, local carrier transfer, tax assessment, and destination-country delivery conditions.

Delivery estimates for international orders do not include delays caused by customs authorities, unpaid duties, incomplete recipient information, import restrictions, local holidays, weather, or carrier processing outside the United States.

Customs Duties, Import Taxes, and Fees

International customers are responsible for customs duties, import taxes, VAT, GST, brokerage fees, clearance charges, handling fees, local delivery fees, and similar costs required by the destination country or region. These charges are imposed by customs authorities, carriers, or local government agencies and are not controlled by Tabasquish.us.com.

Product prices and standard shipping charges shown at checkout may not include duties, taxes, or import fees unless clearly stated during checkout. If your country requires payment before delivery, the carrier or customs authority may contact you directly.

If an international package is refused, abandoned, returned, delayed, seized, or destroyed because duties, taxes, customs documents, toy import rules, material restrictions, small-part regulations, or local laws were not satisfied, shipping charges and related costs may not be refundable. Any available refund may be reduced by return shipping costs, unpaid duties, carrier fees, customs charges, or handling expenses charged to us.

Shipping Restrictions

Some products may not be available for shipment to every location. Restrictions may apply because of carrier limitations, customs rules, product materials, package size, declared value, destination-country import laws, toy safety requirements, or local delivery conditions.

Soft toys, silicone-style products, glitter items, DIY kits, craft materials, decorative accessories, small parts, gel-like items, and novelty products may be subject to different import review standards depending on the destination. Customers are responsible for understanding local import rules before placing an international order.

If we determine that an item cannot be shipped to your address, we may cancel the affected item, cancel the order, contact you for an alternative solution, or issue a refund for the unavailable portion.

Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing a complete, accurate, and deliverable shipping address at checkout. This includes street address, apartment or suite number, city, state or province, postal code, country, phone number where required, and any delivery instructions needed by the carrier.

Tabasquish.us.com is not responsible for delayed, returned, lost, or misdelivered packages caused by incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or undeliverable address information provided by the customer.

If a package is returned to us because of an address problem, we may offer reshipment at the customer’s cost or issue a refund reduced by shipping charges, return fees, carrier costs, customs costs, and handling expenses where applicable.

Address Changes

If you need to correct a shipping address after placing an order, contact us as soon as possible at [email protected]. Address changes are not guaranteed.

Once an order has entered fulfillment, packing, label creation, carrier pickup, or shipment, we may no longer be able to change the delivery address. If the package has already shipped, address changes may depend on carrier options and may involve additional fees.

Order Tracking

When tracking information is available, it will be sent to the email address used at checkout. Tracking may take time to update after a label is created. A tracking number showing label creation does not always mean the package has already been scanned by the carrier.

Carrier tracking may update slowly during weekends, holidays, customs review, transfer points, weather disruptions, or peak shipping periods. If tracking has not moved for several business days, contact us and we will review the available shipment details.

Multiple Shipments

Some orders may ship in more than one package. This can happen when items are fulfilled from different locations, when part of the order is ready earlier, when packaging requirements differ by product type, or when a multi-item order is safer to ship separately.

If your order ships in multiple packages, you may receive more than one tracking number. Packages may arrive on different days even when they are part of the same order.

Packaging and Product Protection

We use reasonable packing methods to protect products during normal transit. Depending on the item, packaging may include inner bags, cartons, protective wrapping, inserts, boxes, padding, or other materials intended to reduce crushing, tearing, leakage, dust exposure, missing parts, or unnecessary surface marks.

Minor outer packaging wear may occur during shipping. Small dents, wrinkles, scuffs, or marks on the shipping package do not always mean the product inside is damaged. If the item itself arrives torn, leaking, cracked, split, missing a part, heavily deformed, contaminated, or otherwise unusable, contact us promptly with photos.

Soft Product Shape and Transit Compression

Soft squishy toys may be compressed during shipping. Temporary shape changes, light packaging marks, minor surface impressions, or slight flattening may occur when the package is opened.

These conditions are usually temporary and do not automatically mean the product is defective. Allow the item to rest at room temperature, gently reshape it with clean hands, and follow any product care guidance provided. Do not use heat, sharp tools, excessive stretching, or aggressive pulling to reshape the item.

Temperature and Weather Conditions

Some soft toys, silicone-style items, gel-like textures, glitter surfaces, and DIY craft materials may be affected by extreme heat or cold during transit. Products may temporarily feel firmer, softer, tackier, or slightly different after temperature exposure.

Allow the product to return to room temperature before use. Do not place products in direct sunlight, near a heater, inside a hot car, in a freezer, or near open flame after delivery.

If a product arrives severely melted, frozen, leaking, split, contaminated, or unusable, contact us within 7 days after delivery with photos of the item and packaging.

Lost Packages

A package may be delayed before it is considered lost. Carrier scans may pause during transfers, regional disruptions, customs review, or high-volume shipping periods.

If tracking has not updated for an unusual amount of time, contact us at [email protected] with your order number and tracking number. We may ask you to wait for a carrier investigation period before a refund or replacement can be reviewed.

If a package is confirmed lost by the carrier or cannot be located after review, we may offer a replacement, refund, store credit, or another reasonable solution depending on order details, product availability, shipping destination, and claim results.

Delivered but Not Received

If tracking shows delivered but you cannot find the package, check the mailbox, porch, parcel locker, front desk, building office, mailroom, reception area, side door, household members, neighbors, and any safe drop location used by the carrier.

Some carriers mark packages as delivered shortly before final placement. In many cases, packages appear within a short time after the delivery scan.

When carrier tracking confirms delivery to the address provided at checkout, Tabasquish.us.com may not be responsible for theft, misplaced packages, building access issues, mailroom handling, incorrect safe drop placement, or third-party pickup after delivery. We will still review reasonable delivery concerns and provide available carrier information where possible.

Damaged Packages

If your package arrives visibly damaged, opened, crushed, wet, torn, or tampered with, take photos before discarding any packaging. Clear photos help us review the issue and may be needed for carrier claims.

For damaged delivery claims, we may request:

• Order number
• Tracking number
• Photos of the outside shipping package
• Photos of the product received
• Photos of any tear, split, leakage, deformation, missing part, broken accessory, damaged mold, spilled craft material, or affected packaging
• Photos of inner packing materials, labels, inserts, or product packaging
• A short description of what happened

Claims may be harder to review if the packaging has been discarded or if the issue is reported long after delivery.

Missing Items

If an item is missing from your package, check the packing materials carefully and review all shipment emails to see whether the order was split into more than one package. Small accessories, DIY kit components, decorative pieces, molds, tools, or gift items may be placed inside protective packaging or a larger item.

If you still believe an item is missing, contact us at [email protected] within 7 days after delivery. Include your order number, photos of the items received, photos of the packaging, and any packing slip or insert included in the shipment.

Incorrect Items

If you receive an item that does not match your order, contact us before opening sealed packaging, using, stretching, cutting, washing, gifting, discarding packaging, or returning the product. Include your order number and photos of the item received, product label, packaging, color, shape, and any identifying information.

If the error is verified, we may provide a replacement, refund, return label, partial refund, or another suitable resolution depending on product availability and the condition of the item.

Returned to Sender

Packages may be returned to sender because of incorrect addresses, failed delivery attempts, refusal, unpaid customs duties, unclaimed packages, restricted delivery locations, or carrier access problems.

If a package is returned to us, we will review the reason for return and the condition of the item. Depending on the situation, we may offer reshipment at the customer’s cost or issue a refund reduced by original shipping, return shipping, customs fees, carrier fees, and handling costs where applicable.

Refused Deliveries

If a customer refuses delivery without prior approval from Tabasquish.us.com, the shipment may be treated as a returned-to-sender order. Shipping fees, return charges, customs fees, duties, and handling costs may be deducted from any refund available.

International refused deliveries can involve additional customs and carrier charges even when the package is not accepted. These costs are the customer’s responsibility unless the refusal was caused by our verified shipping error.

Freight Forwarders and Third-Party Reshipping

Orders shipped to freight forwarders, package forwarding companies, hotels, temporary addresses, dorm mailrooms, gift recipients, or third-party reshipping services are considered delivered once the carrier confirms delivery to the address provided at checkout.

Tabasquish.us.com is not responsible for loss, theft, damage, customs issues, missing items, delays, import problems, heat exposure, leakage, or incorrect handling after the package is received by a forwarding service or third-party location.

Shipping to P.O. Boxes and Restricted Addresses

Some carriers and order types may not be eligible for P.O. Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, hotels, temporary locations, storage facilities, dorms, campus mailrooms, or restricted delivery points. Availability depends on carrier rules, destination, order value, and product type.

If an address is not serviceable, we may contact you for a different address or cancel the order.

Order Cancellations Before Shipping

If you need to cancel an order, contact us quickly at [email protected]. Cancellation is not guaranteed after an order is submitted because fulfillment may begin soon after payment is confirmed.

If the order has already entered packing, label creation, carrier pickup, or shipment, it may need to be handled under our Return & Refund Policy after delivery, if eligible.
