How long will it take to process an order?

Generally, orders that are processed with the RUSH option, will ship within 1 - 5 business days, depending on an acceptable photo submission and time of year. This time of year may significantly slow the process of RUSH orders and is highly recommended around key holidays, such as Christmas, Mother's Day, Wedding Season, Graduations and the like.   While we do not guarantee delivery times, we can help to speed your order within our shop.

Orders that are processed without the RUSH option will usually ship within 1 to 2 weeks after purchase (7 to 14 days), dependent on an acceptable photo submission.  Holiday season may affect processing times, which are not the same as delivery times.  Our shop processes the order, aka processing time.  Delivery time is the time it takes for the mail carrier to deliver your package once it is in their possession.

Need it fast? 

We have RUSH ORDER options will place your order toward the front of the process line. This will move your order up in our shop queue, which is dependent on the Holiday season and time of year.  This option is recommended around high-volume Holidays, such as Christmas, Mother's Day, Graduation.

We are Manufactured in America!  All products are made in and shipped from our warehouse shop in Richland, New Jersey. 

What is "ShipAid" Protection Insurance?

We currently offer a very affordable and completely optional shipping protection product on your package through ShipAid.  ShipAid takes the hassle out of lost, stolen, and damaged packages and does all of the leg work for you fast.  The Missing Piece Puzzle Company highly recommends that all of our customers purchase this protection, as it is a great value that can alleviate a lengthy process of tracing and tracking your purchase.

If you do not want to add this optional coverage, please select the "REMOVE" button next to the ShipAid Protection Logo.  It will be removed and you will not be charged for this service. 

We will no longer be able to replace or refund for stolen, lost, damaged, or missing items without this service. This is due to the increase in crime, "porch pirates," and the rise of mishandling that we are seeing from carriers.  Purchasing ShipAid Protection puts it all in their capable and able hands without delay.  Please understand that if your order shows as "Delivered" that we cannot refund your purchase without a police report of theft if you have not purchased this protection. 

If there is an issue with your order and you are making a claim through ShipAid, please send photos to donna@themissingpiecepuzzlecompany.com, along with your order number. With ShipAid Protection, we'll take care of it!  Upon a favorable decision, we will issue store credit for the value of your order.  Please allow up to 7 days for the claim to be processed.

The Missing Piece Puzzle Company highly recommends purchasing this protection.
