FAQs

SHIPPING & ORDER FAQ - PHYSICAL TEMPLATES

WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP? I aim to ship all physical template orders within 5 business days of purchase. Please note that during busier times, your order may take slightly longer to dispatch since I work solo in the studio. I appreciate your patience. To check the status of your order, please email fran@fromfran.com.

HOW LONG DOES SHIPPING TAKE? Shipping takes 7-21 business days after your order ships. If your booklet doesn't arrive within this timeframe, please reach out to us.

HOW CAN I TRACK MY ORDER? To keep shipping costs affordable, tracking is not included by default. If you'd like a tracking number, please reach out before placing your order and an extra $10 will be added to your shipping cost.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY? Yes. Please consider that your country might require customs tax payment and I cannot be responsible for that extra charge.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY ORDER IS DAMAGED OR MISSING? Please email fran@fromfran.com within 48 hours of delivery. All claims for damaged items or missing items must be made within 48 hours of delivery.

DIGITAL TEMPLATES FAQ

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TEMPLATES? Digital templates are delivered instantly via email after purchase. Check your spam folder if you don't see it within 5 minutes. If you still haven't received your files after 24 hours, please email fran@fromfran.com.

WHAT FORMAT ARE THE DIGITAL TEMPLATES? Templates are provided as PDF files that you can print at home or at a print shop.

HOW DO I PRINT THE TEMPLATES? Print at 100% scale (no scaling) on standard letter or A4 paper. For durability, consider covering your templates with clear tape.

CAN I GET A REFUND ON DIGITAL TEMPLATES? Due to the nature of digital products, all sales are final. However, if you experience technical issues with your files, please email fran@fromfran.com and I'll be happy to help.

CAN I SHARE OR RESELL THESE TEMPLATES? Templates are for personal use only. Commercial use and redistribution are not permitted.

WHAT IF I NEED HELP? Reach out anytime! I'm always happy to assist with questions about the templates or techniques. Email fran@fromfran.com or check out our YouTube channel and Instagram Reels for tutorial videos.
