Please read through our shop policies and FAQs before ordering.
Latest Shop Policies
Yes we do!
For UK customers, there is an added VAT tax that is calculated based on order value and shipping cost combined that will be reflected during checkout.
For EU customers, any customs and handling fees must be paid when your order arrives in your country, you may need to pick up your order at the local post office. We will not collect VAT during point-of-sale.
Route Insurance is a third-party app that allows customers to purchase insurance, track packages, and file claims for any damage or lost orders. Customers can toggle to add Route Insurance to their order at the cart page or during checkout. Please note, Route Insurance cannot be added retrospectively.
If you package was damage or lost and you have purchased Route Insurance with your order, you can file your claim here: https://claims.route.com/
We are NOT responsible for lost or damaged packages. If no route insurance has been purchased during checkout, your order will default to any postal service insurance that may be included with your tracking.
Before Ordering
We have at least 1 new release every month, however this may be subject to changes. Please follow us on Instagram (@SumLilThings) for the latest updates.
Unfortunately due to limited storage space, we no longer restock any products once they sell out.
Only one code is accepted per transaction on this platform. Multiple discount codes, including those redeemed by Usagi points, cannot be combined.
Please make sure that you have entered your discount code at the time of checkout, as we are unable to apply codes or discounts once your order has been placed.
Usagi Points (reward points) can only be redeemed for anything on our website except for subscriptions, already discounted items, and gift cards.
Auto generated discount codes from reward system do not expire. Any special discount codes expire within 1 year of issue date.
After Ordering
Our general processing time is 3-12 business days but can increase during sales or high volume order periods. Please refer to the announcement header at the top of our website for the most current processing times. Note that processing time DOES NOT include delivery time.
We are unable to combine orders as it is difficult for us to locate an order during our processing stages.
Any changes made after an order has been placed cannot be guarantee. Please use the contact form or email us at help@sumlilthings.com for any modification requests on: shipping address, shipping name, email, phone number, or etc. We are NOT responsible for any undeliverable packages due to wrong address.
Due to the nature of our products, cancellation, returns and exchanges are not accepted. In cases where a refund is given, it will be subject to a 15% processing fee.
For domestic orders (USA), tracking is automatically emailed to the email address used during checkout once your order has shipped or you can track it within your account.
For international orders, USPS tracking only allows visibility into when the item arrives at the destination country. For final mile tracking, you can track via the GlobalPost website: https://www.goglobalpost.com/track. We unfortunately have no way of tracking movement of the package within your country.
Sorry about that! Please note that since we are a hand-made shop, there may be slight imperfections or variation from items to items. If your item is defective or missing, please let us know within 3 days of receiving your order (this is based on the delivery date on tracking) by following the steps:
1. Take a photo of the item(s) clearly showing the issue
2. Send the photo to help@sumlilthings.com along with your order number
3. Write a brief description of the issue
Please note that we are NOT responsible for any damages that may occur during transit. In the case that we process a refund (not guaranteed), shipping costs are non-refundable and will not be included. Any freebies given in the shop are not eligible to replacement for damages that occurred during transit.
Shipping & Delivery
Yes, we ship all over the world. Shipping cost is based on weight and calculated during checkout.
All orders are shipped in either envelope, bubble mailers or boxes. We currently offer multiple methods of shipping. If you have any special requests regarding the packing of your order or shipment method, please send us an email before placing an order.
Our shipping cost not only includes the postage fee but also includes the cost of packaging materials (i.e. envelopes, backing cards, cello bags, etc), handling fees (I.e. USPS pickup fees, fuel for transportation, processing fees), and shipping/logistics software fees.

We primarily use USPS but also offer DHL and UPS to international customers. You’ll be asked to select a delivery method during checkout.
All goods shipped internationally must pass through customs before they are allowed to enter or exit a country. We are not responsible for any customs, taxes, and import duties that may be issued by your country.
International customers can occasionally experience long delays and hold ups at customs. We are not responsible for any packages that are held up or returned due to customs. If the package is returned to us due to inability to deliver to address specified by the customer, then the customer will be responsible for any reshipment costs.
In cases where your package is returned to us for any reason, such as wrong address or unclaimed mail, we will require a re-payment of the shipping fees if you want your order to be reshipped. Due to the nature of our products, refunds are given in the form of shop credit. If shop credit is warranted, we will require a 15% restocking fee to be deducted from your order amount. Shipping fees are non-refundable.
We are NOT responsible for lost or damaged package. Once your item has been marked shipped, we no longer have control of it. Customers can purchase insurance via Route during checkout if you are worried about your package getting lost or damaged (we highly recommend this option during the holiday season). We keep photographic records of all processed orders for quality assurance.
If your order has not been marked delivered, and it has been over 4 weeks (domestic) or 10 weeks (international) from your shipment confirmed date, please contact us at help@sumlilthings.com.
USPS will occasionally mark a package as delivered 1-2 days before the package arrives. Please wait 1-2 days before reaching out to us. If the package still hasn't arrived, please check with your neighbors or leasing office (if you live in an apartment complex) to see if the package was picked up by them.
You can also check with your local post office or USPS, to see if the package has been retained and whether it can be recovered and re-delivered/picked up. USPS can be contacted at 1-877-275-8777 or using the below link
USPS Missing Mail Search Request: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm
We are NOT responsible for missing packages. If delivery has been confirmed via the tracking number, we are unable to provide further assistance, as postal companies have the final say on package deliveries; therefore, no further action can be pursued.
If a promotional item (such as a tiered gift, seasonal gift, or other offers) was mistakenly left out of your order, please notify us within 14 days of receiving your package. Upon verification that your order qualified for the promotion, we will either:
- Provide a substitute item of equal value with a future order.
- Offer store credit for the value of the missing promotional item.
Please note that we are unable to resend forgotten promotional items on their own, as this would incur additional shipping costs.
Claims made after the 14-day period or for orders that did not meet the promotional criteria will not be honored.
