Frequently Asked Questions
Website & Payments
We currently use Stripe and PayPal as a payment gateway to process all of our orders. This allows you to make payments using a variety of methods including: debit or credit cards, a bank account, PayPal balance, PayPal Credit, and rewards balance. Stripe and PayPal accept the following credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diner's Club and EnRoute.
Shipping
Items ordered and paid for will ship after 2–3 business days, unless otherwise noted in description of product. We primarily ship through USPS. After leaving our facility, USPS typically delivers in 2–5 business days. You will receive an email notification from us that contains tracking information once your order has been shipped.
Once the package has left A Little Solace Co. and is in the hands of the shipping carrier, we are not responsible for delivery delays or if a package is not able to be delivered due to address errors.
If you need the item quicker than our standard shipping, please select a faster shipping option during checkout.
If your order has not processed yet, reach out to us as soon as possible so we can help you adjust your order with the correct address! Unfortunately, if you realize you entered the incorrect address after your order has shipped, we’re unable to re-route it or make any adjustments.
Please note: Orders returned due to an insufficient/incorrect delivery address will be refunded for the cost of the product only. Shipping fees are not refundable.
If you would like the item reshipped, a reshipping fee will be charged if the order is sent to a different or corrected address.
We’re sorry to hear you lost your A Little Solace Co. package! It’s the responsibility of our customers to make sure that their USPS carriers have a secure system to deliver packages. If you think an error was made by the mail carrier, please report your missing package and contact us within 14 days of the expected delivery date, so we can help you sort it out!
While you can enter a hospital address during checkout, we recommend that you do not. Most hospitals receive so many inbound packages that it can take several days for patients to receive their mail. Many packages are lost in hospitals because patients move rooms frequently, packages are delivered to the wrong room, patients are released before the mail is processed, or the hospital is too short-staffed to process the mail. Hospitals do not track packages internally so there is no way for us to inform you if the package was delivered to the patient or not.
We recommend that you ship the package to a family member or friend who will be visiting the person in the hospital so they can bring it to them in person. This way you can make sure that the recipient gets their package in a timely fashion and during the timeframe that is most meaningful to them.
Yes, but we recommend that you do not. We can't assure that the package will be delivered to the person in a timely fashion after it's delivered to the front desk. We suggest that you send the package to a close family member or friend who will be visiting the person so that way you can make sure that your gift is received during the timeframe that you intended.
If you are wanting to send a gift to someone who has recently experienced a loss in their family, we recommend that you send it to their home address instead of the funeral home. If you don't know their personal address, we recommend contacting the funeral home or a friend of the intended recipient to find out.
If you are a funeral home interested in carrying our products or offering them to clients, please contact us for information.
