What are your Shipping Policies?

Mini Melanie is not responsible for delays in transit caused by package volume, weather, mechanical error, strikes, natural disasters, terrorism safety control, local carrier mis-scans or inaccurate/incomplete shipping information, and we do not require a signature for the release of any shipment. Leaving a package at an address is ultimately up to the discretion of the individual delivery person and is therefore entirely outside our control.

Mini Melanie does not require a signature for the delivery of most of its packages. Mini Melanie is not responsible for packages that require a signature but are not delivered because no one is home to sign.

Customers are responsible for checking that all shipping information is correct before submitting an order as well as in their order confirmation email. If you need to modify the delivery address once your order has shipped, a $17 address change processing fee will apply to your order. Once an address modification is requested, carriers require one business day to process the change, which may delay the package.

There are no returns, refunds or cancellations allowed on any orders that have shipped.

All packages are shipped via UPS or FedEx and therefore we cannot ship to P.O. Box addresses.
