FAQs

How do you ship and when can I expect my order?

Most orders are shipped by Priority Mail so that you receive your order as quickly as possible.  However, some of our suppliers who ship small items (keychains, magnets, luggage tags, etc.) ship by 1st Class.  Most orders are shipped within 1-3 business days of being placed unless otherwise noted on the product information page (personalized items, announcements, custom jewelry orders, out of stock items, etc.).  If you need your order by a certain date, please email us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
 

How much are shipping charges?

 Priority shipping/handling charges are as follows:

  • up to $9.99=$5

  • $10 to $49=$7

  • $50-$99=$10

  • $100-$199=$12

  • $200 and up=$15
     

Why is the amount I'm charged for shipping different than what the post office charged?

We have tried to keep our shipping/handling charges as close to the actual charges as possible, but due to limitations with Pay Pal's shopping cart service, this is the best we've been able to come up with.  If you feel that you are paying too much in shipping charges, PLEASE don't let that stop you from ordering!  Just email me first with your order, address, and PayPal email address, and I'd be happy to bill you with exact shipping charges.  It is not our goal to make money on shipping.  We just haven't come up with a better solution using PayPal yet. :-)
 

Are there any other shipping options available?

Express Shipping-If you need your order super-fast, we do offer Express Shipping (1-2 days, depending on location).  However, you MUST contact me PRIOR to placing your order.  Please email us with your order, your address, the email address you use for PayPal, and the date by which you need your order.  We will send you a bill through PayPal.  Once we receive your payment, we will get it out to you ASAP.  Express Shipping charges start at $18.
 

I paid by echeck.  When will my order be shipped?

PayPal will not allow us to print your shipping label until your echeck clears.  Therefore, please allow 5 additional business days when paying by echeck.
 

Can I pay by personal check or money order?

Yes!  Just email us with your order and zip code.  We will promptly reply with your total and address to send your check.
 

        I live outside the US.  Can I order from Heart and Seoul?

Yes!  However, PayPal does not give the option of charging the correct shipping amount for International orders.  Therefore, we will have to bill you separately for any additional charges*.  International shipping rates recently increased significantly. Rates start at $12 for a flat rate envelope, $20 for a small box, and $36 for a large box.  Rates vary based on weight and destination.  We do not accept personal checks, money orders, or any other form of payment for international orders. 

*We are in the process of adding a International Shipping option to each of our items.  If you are an international customer, please check this box only one time per order.  This will increase your shipping fee to our base price.  We will send you an additional payment request via PayPal if your shipping rate is higher than the base price.  Thank you for your patience as we attempt to solve this issue.

PayPal says my address is "unconfirmed." What does this mean and how will it effect my order?

 An unconfirmed address usually means that the billing address differs from the shipping address.  If you are having your order shipped to your place of work or it is a gift order, your address will be listed as "unconfirmed."  Heart and Seoul requires a valid email address and a home phone number on orders with unconfirmed addresses for our own protection.  We will email you after receiving your order asking for this information.  Please note that we will NOT store your phone number after your order is processed.  This is just an extra safety measure and an additional way for us to reach you in case there is a problem with your order. 
 

        PayPal says my account is "unverified." What does this mean and how will it effect my order?

        This just means that you are new to PayPal and it will not effect your order unless you are an international customer.
