Question: How long does it take to get my order?

Answer: Production time: It takes us 24 to 72 hours to make custom orders depending on what you have ordered. To be able to offer water resistant and dishwasher friendly decals requires custom printing on 3M vinyl. They then off-gas for 24 hours before you are able to laminated them and then send them off to be contour cut and sent to packaging.

Delivery time: Is depending on your choice of shipping at checkout. Our free delivery is with mail delivery and is typically between 7-12 business days for delivery. During peak delivery times in both Canada & USA, orders can take longer. IF you upgrade to express shipping, it can be an estimated 3-4 business days for delivery time. 

Question:  I have not received my order, what’s next? 

Answer: Depending on your choice of shipping will determine if you have tracking. Our free shipping is with mail delivery with Canada Post and the United States Postal Service (USPS) and our free letter-mail delivery does not offer tracking. Typically most orders are delivered between 7 to 12 business days. (Business days refers to Monday to Friday and does not include the day it was considered shipped).

Please keep in mind, most custom orders take 48 to 72 hours to create and then the order is ready for your choice of shipping.

Example: An order placed Thursday the 3^rd might be ready to leave on the 5^th (Saturday) but won’t actually leave until Monday, the 7^th. Then you can expect your order 7 to 12 business days starting on the Tuesday the 8^th and an estimated delivery window of Mar 16-23.

 Alternatively, if you upgrade your shipping on checkout to Shipping with Tracking, you will get your order quicker and your order will get assigned a tracking number. Delivery times will vary based on your location and delivery services being offered in your area. Stinky Lockers reserves the right to select the carrier for courier but tracking numbers are assigned on all upgraded shipping orders.

Question:  What if it’s been longer than 12 business days delivery for the free shipping? What’s next?

Answer: Canada Post & USPS mail delivery does not offer a guarantee on delivery times. Throughout the year, delivery times will vary based on the volume of mail being processed. Occasionally, weather and road closures can also delay deliveries. We appreciate your patience during busy times and understand it can be frustrating waiting for your order. Plan ahead and order as early as possible so you can take advantage of free delivery. Alternatively, you do have the option of the shipping upgrade with tracking if you are running short on time.

In the event your order has taken longer than the “estimated” time, we ask for your patience. Please reach out and let us know it has not yet arrived by email to sales@stinkylockers.com. We will send you an order update along with a request to verify your mailing address along with an image of the envelope you are needing to keep an eye out for. Often times, the order will arrive in a few days.

In the unlikely event the order does not arrive. After 39 days from the date you placed the order, we will deem the shipment lost in transit and will reproduce your order and send it again. Until, 39 days have passed, we will need to wait on Canada Post or USPS for the delivery.

Big League Stick Label - Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do you apply the sticker?
Answer:  No special tools are required. The following steps will ensure your Big League Sticker will last the life of your stick!

1. Ensure the stick is clean and dry.  Each label is shipped with an alcohol cleaning swab! The stick may also be cleaned with a clean paper towel saturated with isopropyl alcohol (IPA). If using 99% IPA mix it in a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part IPA.  If using rubbing alcohol, do not dilute it.
2. Wipe with a lint free paper towel before the IPA evaporates from the stick.  As the paper towel becomes dirty, discard it. A dirty towel does not remove dirt.
3. Make sure the stick is completely dry.
4. Peel the sticker from the backing paper and carefully position one edge along the stick.  Use your finger to slowly press the sticker down to the stick, squeezing out any air bubbles that may be present.  Once the sticker has been applied, use firm pressure to activate the adhesive.
