Can you leave my order outside my door?

It is entirely up to yourself if you want the package to be left, if it will not fit into your letterbox.  Paperhugz can not take responsibility if the package was stolen after delivery.

I am overseas, can I send a card to someone in Australia?

Absolutely, that is what we specialise in.  The process is easy, select your card, add a personal message to go in the card, at checkout put the recipients address in the SHIP TO area then proceed to payment.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Do you offer express post for greeting cards?

We do, this option is available at checkout.  If your card has free post available there is checkbox where you can select express post or if you prefer registered post.  If your card has postage applied, an express post option will show at checkout.

How are handmade cards packaged for postage?

Al our cards are sent in a standard envelope when sent directly to the recipient.  If you are ordering and having the cards sent to yourself, they will be packed in cellophane bags for protection and then into a larger envelope, we do charge postage at the single Australia Post rate due to having to “double bag” the cards into the next size up.

What payments do you accept?

We accept credit cards through Stripe, Googlepay and Paypal and you can also use your direct debit through Paypal.  We also offer Afterpay with no minimum spend to use Afterpay.

Are my details and payment safe on Paperhugz?
