All that's left for you to do now is sit back in joyous anticipation.

With a customer account you'll save time in the long run as you won't have to re-enter all your details every time you place an order. No more turning the house upside down to find your wallet or trying to recall obscure postcodes. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.

Our personalised items are printed on demand and exactly as you've created them, so it's important to get it right to avoid disappointment. At the very least, you’re going to want to spell the recipient's name correctly.

To make extra sure you've got it right, you can check out the product preview on the product page and again later in your shopping basket. This is how your creation will look when printed, so give it a good eyeballing before you pull the trigger.

Generally, your package will be shipped in a Firebox branded box, this means that you can spot it from the window and accost the delivery person before they reach your front door.

We use just enough packing material to make sure the product arrives safely, but not so much that it creates uneccessary waste. Where possible, we will pack all products together in one package.
