If you don't receive the confirmation email, check your spam or junk folder. If you still can't find it, contact us at info@inkspireyou.com.
✶How long does it take to produce my order?
All our products are made-to-order—created especially for you with intention and care.
- Production time: 2–5 business days (over 97% of orders ship in ≤5 days)
- Shipping time: 1–8 business days (domestic), 1–20 business days (international)
- Total time (door-to-door): 5–20 business days
Times are calculated in business days and exclude weekends and holidays.
✶ Why does my order show as "Unfulfilled"?
"Unfulfilled" means your order is in production and hasn't been shipped yet.
Once your order is shipped, the status will change to "Fulfilled" and you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number.
✶ Can I cancel or modify my order?
Yes, but only within the first 24 hours after placing your order.
After 24 hours, your order is already in production and we cannot cancel or modify it (size, color, address, etc.).
To request a cancellation or modification, contact us immediately at info@inkspireyou.com.

Unfortunately, we cannot apply discount codes after the order has been processed.
Make sure to apply your discount code on the checkout page before completing your purchase.

✶SHIPPING & DELIVERY
✶Which countries do you ship to?
We currently ship to:
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Canada
We're working to expand our reach to more countries in the future.
✶ How long will it take for my order to arrive?
Total delivery time (door-to-door): 5–20 business days
This includes:
- Production: 2–5 business days
- Domestic shipping (within the same country): 1–8 business days
- International shipping: 1–20 business days
What does "domestic" mean? If you live in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada, your order is produced locally and shipped within your country, significantly reducing delivery times.
✶ How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is included in the price of all our products!
You won't pay any additional shipping costs at checkout. The price you see is the final price you pay.
Note: If your order is shipped outside the United States, you may need to pay import taxes or customs duties directly to your local customs office. See our Shipping Policy for more information.
✶ How can I track my order?
Once your order is shipped, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with:
- Your tracking number
- A direct link to track your package
Tracking is usually activated within 24 hours after your order is shipped. In exceptional cases, it may take up to 48 hours.
✶ My tracking says "Pre-Shipment" for days. What does it mean?
"Pre-Shipment" means your order has been created in the carrier's system but hasn't been picked up by the carrier yet.
This can take 48–72 hours. If your tracking still shows "Pre-Shipment" after 72 hours, contact us at info@inkspireyou.com.
✶ My package hasn't arrived. When can I file a claim?
If your package doesn't arrive:
- Wait 5 additional business days after the estimated delivery date before filing a claim
- Claims must be submitted within 30 days after the estimated delivery date
- Contact us at info@inkspireyou.com with your order number
If we confirm the package is lost, we'll cover the cost of reprinting and reshipping.
See our Shipping Policy for more details.
✶ My tracking says "Delivered" but I haven't received anything. What do I do?
If tracking indicates your package was delivered but you haven't received it:
- Verify that the shipping address is correct
- Check with neighbors or family members (sometimes the carrier leaves the package with them)
- Contact your local post office to confirm the package location
- File a claim with the carrier (USPS, Royal Mail, Canada Post)
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund or reshipment in these cases, as carriers consider packages marked as "delivered" to no longer be in transit.
See our Shipping Policy for more details.
✶ My tracking hasn't updated in days. What do I do?
- Domestic (US, UK, CA): If your tracking doesn't update for more than 5 days, contact us at info@inkspireyou.com.
- International: The original tracking may stop updating once your package arrives in your country. Contact your local post office or customs to get a local tracking number.
✶ My package is "Held in Customs." What does it mean?
It means your package is being temporarily held by your country's customs office. This can happen for several reasons:
- They need you to pay import taxes or customs duties
- They require additional documentation
- They're conducting a random inspection
What should you do?
Contact your local customs office immediately with your tracking number to:
- Confirm why the package is being held
- Pay any applicable fees (if necessary)
- Provide additional documentation (if required)
- Retrieve your package as soon as possible
Important: Packages held in customs have a time limit. If you don't claim them, they may be returned to sender or destroyed.
See our Shipping Policy for more information on taxes and customs.
✶ Do I need to pay taxes or customs duties?
In most cases, NO.
We produce and ship our products locally within the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. This means:
- US customers → Produced in the US → No customs
- UK customers → Produced in the UK → No customs
- Canada customers → Produced in Canada → No customs
When WOULD I need to pay customs?
In exceptional cases where your product must be shipped from another country (due to limited availability), you may need to pay:
- Import taxes
- Customs duties
- Local tax charges (VAT, GST, PST)
These charges:
- Vary by country and order value
- Are the customer's responsibility
- Are paid directly to your local customs agency (not to us)
Example thresholds:
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Orders over £135 may pay 20% VAT + customs
- 🇨🇦 Canada: Orders over CAD $150 may pay duties + GST/PST (typically 16-18% on clothing)
Important: We do not issue refunds for unpaid customs fees or packages abandoned in customs.
*Tip: If you're unsure whether your order will cross borders, contact us at info@inkspireyou.com before ordering.
✶ Do I need to sign to receive my package?
No, a signature is not required to receive your order.
