Once your order form and list are received you will receive an invoice which you may pay via PayPal. If you prefer I also accept personal checks and cash. Your order must be paid in full prior to the start of writing.
Shipping
If you are not local to Honeybee Paper Co. and envelopes cannot be delivered in person, you are responsible for shipping to and from Honeybee Paper Co. You may ship your envelopes using any method you choose. Return shipping will be $12.95 through USPS.
Envelopes
Mistakes are inevitable with anything hand-written. So please provide 15% extra envelopes for your order. Not all envelopes are created equal! Some paper will not take well to calligraphy. So please inquire if you are unsure, and you may always provide a sample envelope for testing. Any unused envelopes will be returned to you when your order is complete.
Additional Lines
The price for outer envelopes includes up to four lines and the price for inner includes up to two lines. Any additional lines will be charged an additional $0.75. Honeybee Paper Co. reserves the right to add additional lines if deemed necessary (A.K.A. would look terrible if I tried to squeeze into a line!).
