Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

If you purchase a proof, you will receive an initial proof in 1-2 business days. You will then have 2 revisions to finalize the design. If you need more proofs to finalize you can purchase them for $5 each. Once a proof is made and you wish to cancel the order, you will not be refunded for the proof work.

Once your proof is approved the stamp will go into production and cannot be stopped for additional revisions so please check over your proof very carefully.

Most stamps will ship out a week after proof approval OR if you do not purchase a proof, about a week after your order is placed.

Your proof needs to be approved within 7 days. If I do not hear back from you within 7 days I will make your stamp as requested and ship it.

What is your international shipping policy?

I am happy to ship all over the world! Please understand though if you are in another country other than the US that you may be responsible for any taxes, customs fees, or other amounts levied by your home country. Please check with your customs office/or postal service if you are concerned about possible tariffs. The Homebody Society is not responsible for these fees or if your package gets held in customs because you haven't paid your fees.

If your package is in customs and not picked up by you within a reasonable amount of time they will ship it back to me and you will not receive a refund if your item was personalized. If you would then like your package shipped back out to you, you will need to pay for shipping again.

I placed my order and realized that my shipping address is wrong! Can you fix it?

If you need your package shipped somewhere else please let me know immediately and I will cancel your order and you can reorder with the updated address. As of August 1st, Etsy updated their policies to include buyer protection for lost packages and if I change your address, then you are not eligible.

I am not responsible if your package goes to the wrong address. You need to double check your shipping address when ordering. I will ship it to whatever address is on your order.

If your package is returned to me because of an error in the address you provided, then you will be charged the full shipping rate via an email invoice. The payment will need to be made before I send your package out again.

Who is your shipping provider?

The United States Postal Service is my usual mail provider. The post office usually takes 3+ days for 1ST CLASS domestic delivery and 1-3 days for Priority Mail delivery within the US.

First Class service is the service that you get with free shipping. If you would like to upgrade for faster shipping you need to upgrade to Priority Mail at checkout.

Yes, I ship internationally.

Most stamp will ship out 1 week or so after proof approval OR if you do not purchase a proof, 1 week or so after you order. Proof approval, if purchased, needs to be done before I will make your stamp.

Insurance is available for an additional charge.

When should I use a wood mounted stamp and when should I use a self-inking stamp?

I recommend wood mounted stamps for most DIY projects because of their versatility. Wood mounted stamps are good for using different colors and types of inks. With the self-inking stamp you are bound to the ink that comes in the stamp and it is water-based. It takes a while to dry and I do not recommend using them on metallic or pearlescent papers without being heat set. Wood mounted stamps can be used on any type of paper, wood, glass, fabric, ceramic, clay, plastic, or really any surface with the correct ink pad (sold separately).

I recommend self-inking stamps to anyone who wants the convenience of self-inking when stamping on standard paper and envelopes. So essentially, self-inking stamps are perfect for your everyday mail.

Sizing details

Each listing has sizing information included in it and I recommend if you are worried about something fitting please use a ruler to measure your stamping area. If you need assistance with this please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions.

The smallest wood mounted stamp I can make is .5 x .5 inches (1.27 x 1.27 cm) and the largest wood mounted stamp I can make is 8 x 10 inches (20 x 25 cm).

The smallest self-inking stamp I can make is 1 x 1.5 inches (2.5 x 4 cm) and the largest self-inking stamp I can make is 1.5 x 3 inches (4 x 7.5 cm).

Self-inking stamps also can come in a circular case up to 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.

Wholesale availability

Yes, we do offer wholesale pricing to retail shops. You can visit our wholesale shop on Faire by going to helloworldpaperco.faire.com

When I send The Homebody Society a message, when can I expect a response?

The Homebody Society will be open 7 days a week for orders, but only open for correspondence Monday - Friday from 7am - 11:00 am. The rest of the working day I am packaging orders, laser engraving orders, or designing new products for the shop.

I will not respond to emails on the weekends or holidays because I am spending time with my family. I try my very best to respond to all messages within 24-48 hours and answer messages on a first come, first served basis, so please be patient. I promise I am responding as fast as humanly possible.

Gift wrapping and packaging

All of my items come wrapped in an adorable striped bag or tissue paper. If you would like me to mail your gift directly to the recipient, please add them as the shipping address at checkout. I will also include a handwritten note for free if you would like!

Do you need client or closing gifts? We have a repeat buyer program for professionals! Please contact me for more information!
