Shipping & Returns

Order Processing 

We strive to ship each customer’s order within 2-3 business days from when the order was placed. However, there are certain factors that may delay the order leaving within that window. ***Please note that any order placed after 12pm CST on Friday or over any Federal Holiday will not be processed until the following business day.***

  • Seasonal Delays: our business is seasonal in nature and during our heavier volume times of the year (Fall & Christmas) we can experience delays in order processing time. We appreciate your patience during these times and know that we are working hard to get your order out as quickly as possible. During September - December you can expect to have 2-3 days processing time added to each order placed.
  • Payment problems: payment processing issues will delay the shipment of your order until we contact you for a resolution (be sure to provide your best contact information, we won’t share it with anyone).
  • Address problems:  we must validate all shipping address through our shipping carrier. If we cannot validate your shipping address, we hold your order until we can do so. We want to ensure we are shipping to a correct address before the package leaves our Facility. We will attempt to contact you immediately.
  • Inventory problems:  we make great efforts to keep our inventory as accurate as we can so that we never over-sell an item. We will attempt to contact you by phone and by email if this should happen. If we are unable to reach you, we will issue a refund for the item/s and ship your order with the remaining items.

Order Cancellations/Changes

Due to the very seasonal nature of our business, once orders have been placed we cannot make any changes. We do not have the ability to add additional items to any orders once they have been placed. Any additional items will have to be purchased as a new order through the website. Changes cannot be made to pricing once an order has been placed. 

Cancellations to the entire order can be made, but only before the order is picked and boxed for shipping. Please contact us immediately if you would like to cancel your order. Email: customerservice@ellishomeandgarden.com

    Shipping Info

    Delivery times are based on the day your order is shipped. For instance, 2-day shipping, means two business days after the order is shipped, not two days from the date the order was placed.

    • Please note that any order placed after 12pm CST on Friday or over any Federal Holiday will not be processed until the following business day.
    • Shipping prices are based on weight, package size, and distance from our facility to your address. 
    • Free shipping is only available to the Continental United States, lower 48 states, for orders that total $125 or more before tax.
    • Free Shipping is available for all Designs by Ellis pieces for orders in the Continental United States; orders outside of this zone are subject to additional shipping charges.
    • We offer UPS Ground and USPS Parcel Select as shipping options for our orders. Please note that UPS Ground will come with $100 worth of insurance coverage. USPS Parcel Select is normally the cheaper option of the two, but it does not offer insurance coverage.

    Lost or Stolen Packages:

    Ellis Home and Garden is not responsible for lost or stolen packages, packages sent to the wrong address or refunding/replacing lost packages that have not been delivered. Once packages leave our facility they are the responsibility of the shipping carrier. However, there are things that can be done to try to help locate the missing packages. Please first contact your local post office or mail carrier to see if it is possibly still on their truck or at the post office. Check with a neighbor to see if it was delivered to the wrong address by mistake. Yes, these are all cases that we have seen happen. You may file a claim with USPS or UPS for the missing package; we cannot file these on your behalf because they require personal information.

    Shipping Delays:

    If your order is experiencing such a delay please take the following actions:

    1. Sign up for all tracking & delivery notifications associated with your tracking number on USPS.com. You can do this by searching your tracking number on their website.
    2. File a Trace with USPS; option 2: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm (we cannot do this on your behalf. 
    3. After 7 business days have passed from when you filed the Trace you can submit a Missing Mail search request; https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm

    We understand that it is very frustrating to have your order not delivered within a timely manner and to not be able to get updated information regarding that order. Unfortunately, we have zero control over what happens to packages once they leave our facility. We will not be held responsible for missing packages as a result of the delays.

    Please note that if you choose USPS you can expect longer than normal delivery times. Please email customerservice@ellishomeandgarden.com if you have any questions. 

    Damages:

    If your order is damaged in transit, please notify us immediately and no later than 7 days of receipt. Save all packaging for possible inspection by USPS or UPS. If your package is damaged due to carrier or delivery driver negligence, please contact the carrier directly to negotiate a refund or replacement. We will not be held responsible for the actions of the Carrier or Delivery Driver once the package leaves our facility. 

    Once you have communicated to us that your item was damaged, we will do our best to reach a satisfactory arrangement with you whether it be replacement of the item (if available), an exchange or a refund.
