Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping and Returns

1. What is the return policy?

   Please review all items carefully before a purchase is made as all sales are final, including orders not yet shipped. All items in your cart are listed for review before purchase. In addition, completed orders are listed on your account under My Orders. Please review those items, as these terms apply to duplicate items as well.

2. How will my order be shipped?

   Though we use a variety of shipping methods, our two primary methods of shipping are United States Postal Service and UPS. The shipping method used for each order will be determined by several factors including the weight/size of your package, the type of package, and the shipping destination. Please note shipping timeframes do not include time needed to fulfill your order. Visit our shipping page for further clarification.

3. How much is shipping?

   For all domestic orders, the Stamp Society kit will ship for free. A $3 processing fee will be charged for each subscription kit shipping outside of the United States.

   Shipping rates for items from the shop will vary by service type, weight/size of order, and dollar amount of order. Refer to the Checkout page for accurate shipping and handling amounts. Shop items will not be bundled with kit orders. More shipping information can be found here.

   Free shipping for all domestic orders of $69 and Canadian orders of $89. Free shipping applies to Economy shipping only. This excludes digital items and items with fixed shipping.

4. How do I make changes in my shipping or billing information?

   If you need to update your information on your account, please do so here. Please know order information cannot be edited once orders have been placed – this includes email, shipping address, shipping service, and order contents.

5. I never received my order. What now?

   Please review your shipping address on your order details to ensure all information is correct. For domestic orders with economy service, we can declare a package as lost or missing once it has been 30 days post shipment date. 

   Please note that it may take longer than usual for your order to arrive. International economy shipping service is experiencing transit and delivery delays due to Covid-19. Both shipping and customs processes are backlogged at this time. Because of this, we are not deeming orders lost in the normal 45 day period. We are asking for more time for these packages to make their way to you before declaring them lost.  If you never receive your package, we will absolutely honor our lost parcel policy. Please visit our shipping page for more shipping information.

6. When will my subscription kit ship?

   On the 18th of every month or the next business day.

Ordering and Billing

1. What forms of payment do you take?

   We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club cards. Debit cards that are backed by any of the above listed cards are accepted as well. You may change your billing information at any time by accessing your account preferences.

2. Will I be charged sales tax?

   Customers who live in the following states will have sales tax listed at checkout as a separate line item: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, HI, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NV, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WV, and WY. These taxes are imposed by the state on the purchase of goods and services and are not limited to Heidi Swapp Shop. The applicable rate is set by each state respectively.

   Orders billing or shipping to a location in the European Union will now see "sales tax" added at checkout, beginning 9/1/21. This is collecting the VAT (Value Added Tax) on your order at the time of sale to eliminate the need to pay this upon importation of goods. VAT stands for Value Added Tax and is a general, percentage-based tax placed on goods and services sold in the European Union.  Effective 7/1/21, the VAT exemption for the importation of goods of a value not exceeding EUR 22 was removed, resulting in all goods imported to the EU now subject to VAT.

   If you have a month-to-month subscription (other than Stop the Blur) and you request to cancel between the 14th and the 18th of the month, there will be a $15 cancellation fee. After your subscription order has charged and processed on the 18th, you may then get in touch with us to cancel your subscription if you do not wish to continue it. For subscriptions with a six month or twelve month commitment, you will be charged 50% of your remaining commitment at the time of cancellation.

7. What happens when I complete my initial subscription commitment? Is my subscription ongoing?

   Each type of subscription (month-to-month, 6-month, and 12-month) is ongoing, so you will continue to receive a monthly kit until you contact us to cancel. Your subscription will continue on a month-to-month basis at the rate you initially signed up with. If you wish to cancel following final shipment within your initial commitment, we simply ask that you notify us via conversation.

   For information regarding cancellation prior to the completion of your commitment, please refer to “Can I cancel my subscription?” located in this FAQ thread.

You will get a confirmation page to let you know the skip was successful and it will confirm which month's order is going to be skipped. Please be sure to review our other FAQs regarding this option. 

2. When can I skip my kit?

   You must select this option by 11:59 ET on the 14th of the month, before the new kit is revealed. You can only skip the upcoming month’s kit. If you need to skip a later month, just make sure to come back and skip during that month, but before the month’s kit is revealed. If you skip after the 15th of the month, it will apply to the following month’s kit.

3. I forgot to skip before the 15th of the month, now what?

   If you do not skip before the 15th of the month, you will be charged for and shipped that upcoming month’s kit. No changes can be made after the 15th of the month. Returns and refunds cannot be issued for forgotten skips.

4. What if I change my mind after I schedule to skip a month?

   If you change your mind and want to receive the current month’s kit, simply cancel your skip before 11:59pm ET on the 17th.

5. How often can I skip a kit?

   Skipping allows you to skip the upcoming kit, one month at a time. You are not able to skip the same subscription two consecutive months in a row, however, there is no limit on the number of times you can skip a month’s kit within your subscription commitment term. Your subscription will automatically resume after the month you skip.

6. Can I skip future kits?

   No. You can only skip the current or upcoming kit. Make sure to skip by the 14th at 11:59pm ET for the upcoming revealed kit to avoid being charged and shipped that kit.

7. Does skipping a kit count towards my commitment?

   If you skip a month, it does not count towards your commitment. Only an active and shipped kit order will be applied to your subscription commitment.
