Ordering
How do I
place an order online?
Ordering is simple. Choose your favorite items and press the “add
to cart” button. The product page will let you know if the product is
currently in stock. If you would also like to add “personalized tags
or stickers”, simply click on the button on the bottom of the product
description page titled “personalization”.
How do I order personalized tags?
Personalized tags or stickers can be ordered in two ways:
1. Separately: No favor purchase is required for this option and they come
in sets of 36.
2. Along with your favor order: You must meet a minimum requirement, but after
that you can order the exact amount to match the amount of your favor order.
Personalized tags can be ordered along with most of our products. A “personalization” button
at the bottom of each product page will direct you the personalized tags or
stickers designs available for that specific product.
How do I order invitations?
You can order your invitations by clicking on the “Invitation” link
on our left menu bar or on the “invitation” ribbon on the top of
the home page. This will take you to our main invitation page where you will
be able to select the brand you are interested in: Carlson Craft, Birchcraft,
or Tatex.
Can I place orders by
phone?
We accept phone orders toll-free at 866-472-3375. Our customer relations
advisers are available Monday through Thursday 9AM to 6PM and Saturdays 10AM
to 1PM CT to answer your questions. We also speak Spanish.
Can orders be rushed?
We ship
our orders fast. Most non-personalized orders are shipped out in 3 to 5 days.
Personalized items can take longer to leave our warehouse. Normal shipping
times within the US can take from 3 to 7 business days in transit. If you need
items sooner, you should choose the “expedited shipping” option
during checkout. Also, you may want to give us a phone call so that we can
speed up the processing time.

Return Guarantee and Exchanges
What is your return policy?
You can return most anything within 30 days – for any reason! We want
you to be absolutely delighted with your purchases, but we understand that
sometimes returns and exchanges are necessary. The merchandise must be in the
original condition and packaging, so that we can put it back in stock and re-sell
it. So, if for some reason you are not completely satisfied, we offer the following
easy return policy and do not charge any restocking fee:
First, please request a Return Authorization Number (RAN) within 28 days of
receipt of shipment by calling us toll free at 866-472-3375, or e-mailing us
at info@theroyalball.com. Please specify whether it’s a refund or replacement,
the reason for the return or refund, the number of items that need to be replaced
and the amount if it is a refund. Your request will be reviewed within 24 business
hours. Please note that all returns must be received within 30 days from the
date the RA is issued. Items returned after RA has expired will not be credited
or returned.
Please follow these easy steps:
Step 1
Enter the RAN in the space provided on the return label, which is part of the
packing slip received with the shipment.
Step 2
Affix the Return Label to the original shipping box. Make sure items are in
their original packaging, and are appropriately secured within the shipping
box. We cannot accept items for return that are not in resale condition.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The customer is responsible for shipping. We do not refund
shipping charges. No credit is given for lost packages. Non-returnable items*,
such as personalized products, returned to us will not be shipped back to the
sender, nor credited to their account. We do strongly recommend that you use
a shipper with a traceable shipping method, as we cannot be responsible for
damaged or lost return packages.
How long before I receive my refund?
After we receive your package and inspect the items, you will receive an email
confirming credit total. Credit will be issued in 3 to 5 business days. Please
allow adequate time for your banking institution to process the credit.
Can I return personalized items?
Unfortunately, you cannot return personalized favors and gifts, since these
cannot be sold again. Sales are final on these products, unless they arrived
damaged. See damaged items below for more information.
What other items cannot be returned?
All edible and cosmetic favors cannot be returned. Also personal care products
such as manicure sets are non-refundable. Sales are final on these products.
What if I received damaged items?
Please inspect your order carefully, as soon as you receive it. If there is
any damage, please call our customer relations advisors Mon-Thurs 9AM - 6PM
CT 866-472-3375 within 7 days after the package was delivered. Please keep
the original box, packaging materials, and all paperwork. You can e-mail
us a digital photograph of the damaged box and items, and we will be able
to help you file a claim with UPS if needed.
