FAQ
SHIPPING
Do you ship internationally?
Right now, Instead of Ashes ships retail orders to the United States and Canada. We ship from Atlanta, Georgia, and do our best to keep international shipping prices low. All orders come with tracking numbers.
When will I receive my order?
Most items ship within 1-3 business days + shipping time. Orders are shipped either via USPS First Class Mail or USPS Priority Mail, depending on which option you choose at checkout. All shipping options come with tracking information.
(For wholesale shipping information, please see the Wholesale page)
My tracking says my order has been delivered, but I don't see it - help!
First off - don't worry! I have found that it is pretty common for USPS to mark an order as "delivered" 24 hours before it is actually delivered. While I don't know why this happens, it seems that in every time this has happened for a customer, it is delivered the next day. If you don't see it in your mailbox within 24 hours, send me a convo through the Etsy shop, or send an email with your name and order number to [email protected] and I will get it sorted out for you!
My order was damaged in shipping - help!
Ugh. That stinks! I ship items as protectively as possible, but once in a blue moon crazy things can happen in the shipping process that I cannot control. Please send an a convo through the Etsy shop, or an email to [email protected] within 48 hours of receiving your package, and I will send a replacement to you.

I'd like to place an order for a larger quantity than I see on your item listing... is that possible?
Yes! We can accommodate large quantities for retail orders! Just send us an email and let us know how many you would be needing! We may need an extra couple days to get more printed from our printer, which could add an additional 2-5 days to processing time. (Looking to place a large wholesale order? See our wholesale page!)
