Before inquiring about an order Please be sure to check our website for shipping times. Most of our products have the shipping times listed in the product descriptions. If your product has not arrived by the posted shipping time please email us at info@LittlePiddles.com . Please include your Order Number and the item that you have not received.
1. Where is my order? How long does it take?
Some of the items on our website are hand made. Please check the estimated turn around time stated on the product page as these are pretty accurate. If your order is running longer than the estimated time, we will be happy to look into it for you.
2. What are my payment options?
You may pay using a PayPal account, or Visa/Mastercard online. I process the credit card orders manually, so I will confirm that they were processed with a confirmation email when they are done. Since I am not at my computer 24/7, I may not get that confirmation to you immediately, but will get it to you as soon as possible. Also, you may use your credit card through PayPal without having a PayPal account. You may also choose to send a money order or check through the mail. I will confirm that I have received payment via email, but will not send your order until I have cleared your check.
3. Do you ship internationally?
Not at this time.
4. Do you accept exchanges or returns?
Please see our Customer Service section below for our return/exchange policy.

Freight Shipping for Oversized Merchandise:If the furniture or merchandise you ordered exceeds the weight and size standards for shipping with UPS or FedEx, shipping will be arranged with a Freight Carrier. Please review the following information to ensure a smooth delivery.
• Freight Services
If a specialized freight carrier is used to ship your item, the carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery time. Deliveries are typically scheduled within a four-hour window. Please note that the term "Delivery" does not typically include having the merchandise brought into your home, up stairs, unpacked or assembled. If you are in need of inside delivery and set up you may arrange for White Glove Service through most carriers. This service usually includes merchandise brought into your home and placed in the spot you like, unpacked and assembled. There is an additional charge for White Glove Service, however most freight carriers offer this service and each companies policies vary. Please let us know in advance if White Glove Service is best for you so we may quote and arrange it in advance.
• Freight Delivery Time
In most cases, you will be notified by the freight carrier directly when your order is ready to be shipped. Once your furniture is picked up from the manufacture, shipping generally runs 7-10 business days en route. The carrier will be instructed to call you ahead of time to set up a delivery time for residential deliveries. If you have not heard from the freight company within 10 days after pick up, please notify Little Piddles and we will contact the company for your tracking number and provide you with their number for a delivery appointment.
• Freight Receipt & Damages
You must be present to receive, inspect and sign for your delivery. In case of shipping damage: We strongly urge you to inspect both the box and the merchandise immediately upon receipt. Please make note of any minor or major damage on the bill of lading before signing and in the drivers presence. If damage is present on the outside of the box or package, ask the driver to wait while you inspect your furniture. Again note any damage of the bill of lading before you sign. Please notify the freight company and Little Piddles of the damage immediately. It is your responsibility to submit the claim to the shipping company to receive compensation. You are still responsible for the payment of all merchandise in the event of shipping damage, including the replacement cost of the damaged pieces. Little Piddles cannot refund shipping or freight charges.
Freight Payment:In most cases your freight and delivery charges will be prepaid before it ships. When an item is shipped freight collect, the carrier will collect shipping and handling charges from you at the time of delivery. We will not apply these costs to your order. The carrier will call you to schedule a delivery time and provide you with the actual shipping costs.
