Shipping and Return Policy

Emily Bourke Illustration Shipping and Return Policy 

Shipping 

Rates for shipping are calculated at the checkout based on the weight and dimensions of the order. 
 
Embroidered designs and original artwork is made by Emily and shipped out from Vancouver Island. Prints are also shipped from Vancouver Island and can be purchased with embroidery and original works. 
 
Expected processing time for orders is 24-72 business hours (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays), and when shipped out you will be notified via email. 
  • Please keep in mind that embroidered artwork is hand-made, and as such the craftwork delivered may vary slightly from the image on the product page. Emily does her best to make sure that designs are the same each time she re-makes them, but due to the nature of being made by hand there may be some slight variations.

Local Delivery

You can get a discounted shipping rate of $5.00 CAD with local delivery! After placing your order and selecting local delivery at checkout, your order will be prepared and delivered within 48 hours Monday-Friday. 

International Shipping

We offer international shipping! Here's a list of some (but not all) countries we ship to:

  • United States of America
  • Australia
  • New Zealand

We also ship to Europe and other international countries. Shipping charges for your order will be calculated and displayed at checkout. 

 Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes (including VAT), which are incurred once a shipment reaches your destination country. Emily Bourke Illustration is not responsible for these charges if they are applied and are your responsibility as the customer.

How do I check the status of my order?

Return Policy 


Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Gift cards cannot be returned or exchanged.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted: (if applicable)

* Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
* Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery
Refunds (if applicable)

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.
Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.
If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please reach out via our contact page here.

Sale items (if applicable)

Only regular priced items may be refunded, unfortunately sale items cannot be refunded.

Exchanges (if applicable)

We will accept exchanges of equal or lesser value if any item is not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.

Gifts

If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a digital gift certificate will be e-mailed to you.

If the item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver and he will find out about your return.
Return Shipping
After contacting us for the return, we can send you a return shipping label via email to print at your convenience. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.

Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.

If you are not using our return label to ship an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
