Gift Wrapping & Packaging
Finders Pickers Paper does not offer gift wrapping at this time. Quality Kraft rigid photo mailers and bubble envelopes, sturdy cardboard boxes and packing materials are used to ensure your gems are protected during transit. Paper collectibles are packaged securely inside a plastic sleeve.
Order Processing
Finders Pickers Paper does not have access to your private financial information. A third party is used to process payments. Most payments process within 24 hours. Some are delayed and can take up to 48 hours. Finders Pickers Paper is notified when the processing is complete. Orders are not shipped until processing is complete and notification is received.
USPS Pickup Times
USPS pick up by 3PM PT M-Sat. Orders processed M-Th after 3PM are picked up the next business day. Orders processed Saturday may be shipped that day (Redondo Beach Post Office closes at 12PM on Saturdays) or could be shipped the next business day. Orders processed Sunday are picked up and shipped the next business day. USPS does not pick up on Sundays or major US holidays. Tracking is fully dependent on the timely scan by USPS personnel. If your package is not scanned in a timely manner you may not see tracking in real time. For example, tracking may indicate PRE-TRANSIT even though a package IS in transit. Or you may not see tracking at all until your package is delivered. Recently, a package was scanned DELIVERED by USPS but was delivered to the wrong address. The package was rerouted to the correct address within six days but the tracking information was not updated by USPS. So be mindful of this. It's rare but sometimes it happens. Expect delays around the holiday season and during inclement weather. Other delays will be communicated in a timely manner.
How Long Will It Take to Get My Package?
USPS delivery times are estimated and are not guaranteed. This includes Priority Mail. Most packages arrive in a timely manner. Please take this into consideration before purchase. Remember, USPS handles a heavy load of online ecommerce sites, not to mention regular snail mail. USPS is busy, busy, busy around the holiday season (October through January). Inclement weather can cause slowdowns, too. So please, order early to avoid disappointment.
