accompanied by a Return Number Authorization (RNA). Please call our
toll free number if you need a RNA. We are NOT RESPONSIBLE for any item(s) returned without an accompanying RNA.We try very hard to represent and describe
our merchandise correctly and accurately. We try hard to make and
sell items that we believe are exceptional values. Please be aware
that, regarding color, your monitor may not accurately represent the
colors we work hard to present. We cannot be responsible if color
tones differ somewhat from what you expected. If you are trying to
match a color please call for more information or give us a Pantone number
under "Special Instruction" when you order. We will advise you of an

business days.

or a delivery confirmation number
which may be checked either
on the
Post Office's or on UPS's web site.
It also allows us to confirm delivery.

Overnight and Second Day shipping are offered, at our choice, by FedEX or
Express Mail, at
extra costs. Because rates for these services are in a state of flux,
we reserve the right to notify you of extra charges if actual shipping
charges for your order exceed what you were charged in your order.
Please be aware that the "Guaranteed Delivery" warranty these companies
claim are subject to their conditions of service.
Their conditions of service are so extensive that they actually take
little responsibility for packages not delivered on time. For
the same reason it is extremely difficult to collect from these companies
for damages or loss. For example, if your package is not delivered
on time because of bad weather, they will not offer a refund of any sort
because weather is an "Act of God." Besigns Co./GiveTheBest.com
CANNOT be responsible for, nor offer any refunds, if your package(s) is/are not
delivered on time because of shipping companies' conditions of service. We encourage you, whenever possible, to plan your
order well in advance so as to take advantage of the value of our standard
shipping. If we believe our standard shipping methods will provide
the same delivery results at the same or lesser cost to you, we may opt
for a standard method over a special shipping method unless you
specifically request in your order that the delivery option you chose not
be changed. |

Special
Shipping For A Few Products |
|
| Because
of size and weight, embroidered bookmarks shipped to the same address by First Class
Mail are shipped for less than the standard minimum cost. The charge
to ship embroidered bookmarks is $3.75 for First Class Mailing.
If you prefer Priority Mailing the standard $7.50 charge applies.
Woven Oriental Bookmarks incur the standard Priority Mailing charge due
to the fact that they are packaged in a heavy weight plastic holder. |
|
Foreign
Shipments |
|
| Foreign
shipments are typically sent by Insured Air Parcel Post. This
method is generally the most economical for these type of
packages. The mean delivery time to many places to which we ship
by this method is 4-7 days. Unless special packaging is required,
we charge you exactly what we are charged by the Post Office.
Please remember that most foreign packages have to pass through the
local customs' office, and we find a lot of variability in the practices
of customs' offices. |

Special
Shipping, Special Services, & Specific Delivery Dates |

approximately $13.50 in addition to standard shipping. If you have an account

still have to make a label, fill out paper work, and pack your item(s).
If you wish to have a signed record for a Priority Mail standard shipment
package, please add $1.75
If you wish to have a package delivered on or about a specific date please
state in the comment box during checkout "Do Not Delivery Before (specify
the earliest date for delivery)." But please note that we cannot

you opt for guaranteed delivery shipping options such as 2nd Day Air or
Overnight Delivery. |
