Which states are charged sales tax?

Taxing remote sales has changed! On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the state in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. The decision overruled a longstanding physical presence rule, allowing states to require remote sellers to collect and remit sales tax. In the time since the Supreme Court Decision, most (but not all) states have adopted new rules defining what establishes a sales and use tax obligation, known as nexus.

Unfortunately for businesses, no two state sales tax nexus laws are alike. To further complicate things, taxes can also be collected at the county and local government levels, so the customer’s billing address at the time of order submission will ultimately determine how much (if any) taxes will be applied to the order.

Due to this change (and resulting software limitations associated with our website), sales tax may not be calculated correctly during checkout. Our Customer Service Representatives will review your order after it has been submitted to ensure accuracy. If you have any questions regarding the application of sales tax, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-423-5198.

What is your return policy?

Returns are rare at Giggletime Toy Co., but if you are not satisfied, contact us within 30 days of your purchase. We will process the return of stock items by sending a replacement product or issuing a refund. Custom imprinted items result in a product that is not resalable and therefore we cannot accept returns on these types of items. Returns must be authorized in advance to ensure prompt processing. Please call Customer Service at 800-423-5198 or email customer service to obtain an RMA (return merchandise authorization) number. Returns of $200.00 or more are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Damaged shipments must be noted to freight carrier and Giggletime Toy Co. at the time of delivery. Damaged shipment claims older than 14 days will not be accepted. Returns cannot be accepted for items that have been used or items with altered packaging. Federal regulation requires special labeling unique to each batch of product we purchase, altered packaging results in a product that is not usable. Returns for damaged or defective items older than 60 days will not be accepted. Customers will be responsible for both inbound and outbound freight costs on any refused shipment.

What is your return policy on personalized products?

Custom imprinted items result in a product that is not resalable and therefore we cannot accept returns on these types of items.

Our pencils are available in a wide range of colors, but not every shade. We guarantee pencils will be the color you ordered; black, yellow, orange, etc. The colors displayed on your monitor are for your reference only. Pantone® colors vary greatly from monitor to monitor and it is impossible to display a true color match. For this reason we cannot offer refunds for color variance.

Please note that ferrule and eraser color combinations may vary from those pictured. We are unable to process refunds because ferrule and eraser combinations varied from the picture.

Are there any guarantees with respect to scannability when printing QR Codes or Barcodes onto personalized products?

Unfortuantely, no. Due to the limitations of our digital printers and silkscreen process, there is no guarantee regarding proper scannability of QR Codes or Barcodes after production is finalized. That is not to say the quality of the print won't be held to the same high standard all other custom prints are required to meet, but we cannot offer any guarantees that QR Codes or Barcodes will be able to be scanned by any digital devices capable of doing so. Please keep this in mind prior to placing any personalized orders involving QR Codes or Barcodes. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

    • For an additional $25 fee, add your own custom logo to any pencil, pen, sand timer, or smile supply bag order. View Artwork Requirements
