HELP/FAQs
Shopping is meant to be easy. Fun. And stress- free. So we've done all we can to anticipate questions and issues that may arise as you browse our collections.
Placing an Order
DFDesigns processes all of its orders through Google Checkout.
What is Google Checkout?
Google Checkout is one of the safest and most secure ways to purchase online. If you've used Google Checkout before, all you need to do is provide your Checkout username and password to buy from us.
What payment methods are accepted?
Google Checkout accepts major credit and debit cards, including VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. You simply enter your credit or debit card information when you first sign up for Google Checkout and then select your preferred payment type during the checkout process.
How do I sign up for Google Checkout?
If you're using Google Checkout for the first time, you only have to fill out a single page of information once to make your first purchase from DFDesigns. After that, you just need to enter your Google Checkout login to make any new purchase.
To sign up for Google Checkout for the first time, go to http://checkout.google.com. Fill out the required fields and click "create my account." Check your email account for a verification message from Google. When it arrives, open the message and click on the link provided. Then you can start shopping at DFDesigns!
When will my card be charged?
Your credit card will be charged when your order is processed. Following verification of your credit card, orders normally ship within three to four (3-4) business days. If there is a problem with your order we will contact you via email. If we are out of stock we will backorder the item automatically and notify you. If you do not wish to wait for the backordered item(s) you may tell us and we will issue a refund to your credit card account and cancel the backorder.
Will I be charged sales tax?
Applicable sales tax will be charged if your order is being shipped anywhere in the states of New York or Arizona.
How will the charge appear on my credit card?
Whether you buy an item from the Pookies or the Laissez-Wear collections, the charge on your card will read "Google * DFDesigns"
What happens if part of my order is unavailable?
While we will endeavor to fulfill your order completely and promptly, every so often we may be caught with our Pookies down and run out of an item that you have requested. If that is the case, we will promptly notify you of the out-of-stock situation and tell you when we expect to ship the missing item(s.) We will send you the part of your order that is in stock and ship the remaining items, at our expense, when they arrive in our warehouse.
If you do not wish to wait for the items, please email us at backorders@dfdesignsllc.com and your credit/debit card will be credited for the full amount of the backordered products.
Remember if you order a coming soon item we will process the order and ship the item(s) as soon as they arrive. This is the best way to insure you get the pattern you want as most Pookies are produced in limited quantities per pattern. We will provide you with an approximate ship day within 5 days of your order. You may cancel your order at any time until it is shipped.
What are your Gift Giving Options?
Pookies and Laissez-Wear make great gifts! There's always a pair (or two!) of Pookies with a perfect design for everyone on your list. We make it easy to send a gift from DFDesigns and offer you the following three options:
1 Gift Packaging: The item(s) of your choice will be packaged in a beautiful gift box, complete with tissue paper and a gift enclosure. This can be sent either to you or to the recipient. There is a nominal charge of $7.50 for this packaging.
2 Gift Certificates: Via E-mail
Send the gift of Pookies and Laissez-Wear to friends and family via an electronic gift certificate! Choose the amount, give us your message, the recipient's email address and the date you would like it to be sent and we'll send an electronic gift card greeting. There is no charge for this service but please allow 24 hours for delivery.
3 Gift Certificates: Presentation Package When the occasion calls for package in hand or under the tree, surprise them with the DFDesigns Gift Certificate Presentation Package. You can choose any dollar amount and a gift certificate will be sent to you in a heavy weight presentation envelope. Just add a personal message to the enclosed gift card and you're good to go! The lucky recipient can redeem the gift certificate on-line for either the Pookies or Laissez-Wear items of their choice. The charge for this service is $5.00

Shipping
When will my order ship?
Most items ship (leave the warehouse) within 3 to 4 business days, unless otherwise noted.
Note: Choosing an expedited shipping method (details below) does not allow an item to ship any sooner than the stated time to leave the warehouse; expedited shipping reduces the time an order takes to arrive at the shipping address AFTER the order leaves the warehouse.
In the event that an item you order is not currently in stock, we will notify you via email and you will have the opportunity to cancel your order. If you do not cancel the order, we will order your items and fulfill your order as soon as we are able.
What are the available shipping methods and costs?
We ship our products using UPS. We will charge you a shipping rate based upon the published UPS rates for the shipping method you select. For simplicity we have reduced the very long list of rates and zones published by UPS to a charge based on the number of items you order: The cost to ship one item is $8.95; two items: $10.95 items 3 and above ship for free (no additonal charge). Please note that UPS is unable to ship to post office boxes so we ask that you provide a physical mailing address for your order.
What shipping options do you offer?
Standard shipping: Orders normally ship from our Phoenix warehouse within 3 to four(3-4) business days and typically take 3-7 days to be delivered within the continental United States, depending upon where you live. If there is a problem with your order we will let you know via email. Actual delivery times are subject to UPS operations, you will receive a tracking number when your order is shipped. Remember during holiday seasons UPS experiences a high volume of shipments and shipments may be delayed.
Expedited (2nd Day & Next Day) shipping: are available at an applicable up charge. Select the expedited shipping options at checkout and the applicable charges will appear.
How do I get free shipping? While we don't offer free shipping at this time, we do cap the cost of delivery at two items for a maximum (standard delivery) charge of $10.95. So if you're on the fence about that third pair of Pookies or thinking about ordering another color of the terrific Laissez-Wear crew shirt, go ahead, as after the first two items, all additional items ship at no additional charge. As the old saying goes, the more you buy, the more you save.
Do you ship outside of the United States?
At this time, we are only shipping within the U.S. We will be adding shipments to Canada very shortly, followed by other international destinations, as soon as we find the best way to accurately calculate shipping and duty/taxes for foreign destinations. If you simply can't wait, (and we certainly understand that!) please send an email to support@dfdesignsllc.com, and include "international" in the subject line. We will try to work with you individually via email to process your DFDesigns order while we are working to implement direct foreign shipping on our web site.
Will I be charged sales tax?
Applicable sales tax will be charged if your order is being shipped anywhere in the states of New York or Arizona.
