Key Notes on Timelines
- Custom Baby Products: Personalized items (e.g., monogrammed cribs, custom-theme decorations) take 2–3 weeks to manufacture before shipping—we’ll confirm the exact ship date at checkout.
- Crib & Dining Chair Processing: All furniture items require a 1-business-day safety check (to ensure hardware integrity and non-toxic paint) before shipping—we’ll notify you via email if this applies to your order.
- Peak Seasons (Baby Showers & Holidays): During March–May (baby shower season) and November–December (holiday shopping), order processing may take 1 extra business day due to high demand—we recommend ordering 2 weeks in advance for crib and dining chair orders.
4. Delivery Tracking & Notifications
We keep you informed at every step of the shipping process for your frankwilliams Store order:
- Order Confirmation: Immediately after purchase, you’ll receive an email with your order number and estimated ship date.
-
Shipment Notification: Once your order ships, we send a second email with:
- A tracking number (USPS, FedEx, or furniture carrier—click the link to view real-time location updates).
- A delivery window (e.g., “Expected delivery: Thursday, 11 AM–3 PM ET”). For bulky cribs and dining chairs, the carrier will contact you 24 hours in advance to schedule a delivery time that works for you.
- Delivery Alert: Carriers send a text/email when your package is out for delivery (optional—opt in via the carrier’s website using your tracking number). For white-glove delivery, our team will call you 1 hour before arrival.

5. Packaging & Product Protection
Our packaging is designed to protect your baby products during transit, with extra care for furniture stability and mattress hygiene:
- Baby Cribs: Shipped in reinforced corrugated crates with foam padding around the frame and slats—prevents scratches, dents, and warping. All hardware is packed in a sealed bag inside the crate (labeled for easy assembly).
- Infant Mattresses: Wrapped in double vacuum-sealed plastic (waterproof and dust-resistant) and placed in a sturdy box—preserves firmness and hygiene. We include a “handle with care” label to ensure carriers treat the box gently.
- Baby Dining Chairs: Disassembled and packed in a foam-lined box—straps and trays are wrapped separately to prevent damage. Hardware is labeled for quick assembly.
- Baby Bed Decorations: Packed in moisture-resistant plastic bags and placed in a shock-resistant box—wall decals are rolled (not folded) to prevent creases.
We include a delivery checklist with every order—please inspect your items immediately upon receipt and note any damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt (critical for filing claims). For cribs and dining chairs, check the hardware bag for missing parts before assembly.
6. Handling Shipping Issues
We resolve 99% of shipping issues within 2 business days—here’s how to address common problems for frankwilliams Store orders:
6.1 Delayed Deliveries
If your package is late (e.g., standard shipping to mainland U.S. takes 10+ days for a crib):
- Check the tracking link—carriers often note delays (e.g., “held at sorting facility due to high volume during baby shower season”).
- Email us if no update is available for 48 hours—we’ll contact the carrier directly to escalate the issue.
- Compensation: For delays over 3 days beyond the estimated timeline, we offer a $20 store credit (valid for 6 months) or a free baby bedding accessory (e.g., a waterproof crib sheet, a decoration wall decal).
6.2 Damaged Items
If your item arrives damaged (e.g., dented crib frame, torn mattress lining, broken chair strap):
- Document the Damage: Take photos/videos of the item, packaging, and carrier’s delivery receipt (if you noted damage on it). For cribs, take photos of the frame and hardware bag.
- Report Within 48 Hours: Email us at barrettp404@gmail.com with your order number, photos, and a description of the damage.
-
Resolution: We’ll:
- Send a replacement item via expedited shipping (free of charge) within 3–5 business days.
- Provide a pre-paid return label (we cover all shipping costs for damaged items).
- Offer a full refund (to your original payment method) if you prefer not to receive a replacement.
6.3 Missing Items
If part of your order is missing (e.g., crib hardware, dining chair tray, decoration wall decals):
- Check the packaging thoroughly—small items are often tucked in hidden compartments (e.g., hardware in the crib crate lid, decals in the decoration box bottom).
- Email us within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a list of missing items.
- We’ll ship the missing parts via USPS First Class Mail (free) within 24 hours—no need to return anything.
6.4 Wrong Address Deliveries
If you entered the wrong address at checkout:
- Before shipping: Email us immediately—we can update the address if the order hasn’t left our warehouse (90% of requests are approved).
- After shipping: We’ll work with the carrier to redirect the package (fees apply: $25 for mainland U.S., $50 for Alaska/Hawaii). If redirection isn’t possible, we’ll send a replacement order (you pay 50% of the product cost—we cover shipping).
