General Info

After purchase, you will get a confirmation email with your order number and the address to mail your inclusions to. Check your spam folder if you aren’t seeing the email. You will need to read the ‘Mailing Instructions’ tab for full instructions. 

You will be responsible to pay to ship your milk/inclusions to me. I ship the finished piece back to you for free.

When sending your inclusions, always be sure to:

*Write your order # and name on the inclusions bag.

*Make sure your name and return address are on the package.

*Get tracking and keep the receipt.

*Don’t require signature for delivery.

Please don’t send the last of your milk/ inclusions, even though its rare, it is possible for it to get lost in transit. A Drop In Time Keepsakes is not, under any circumstances, responsible for loss and/or damages in shipping and will not issue refunds for this.
