Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), debit cards, PayPal, and other secure payment methods displayed at checkout.

Q: Can I change or cancel my order after it has been placed?
A: Orders can only be modified or canceled within 12 hours of placement. Once processing begins, changes are no longer possible. Please contact us as soon as possible for assistance.

Q: Do you charge sales tax?
A: Applicable sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address.

2. Shipping & Delivery

Q: Where do you ship from?
A: We ship directly from our U.S. warehouses. Because we operate our own manufacturing facility, certain items may also be shipped directly from our production site depending on stock availability.

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Standard delivery takes 3–7 business days depending on your location. During September and October, high demand may extend delivery times.

Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: Currently, we ship only within the United States to ensure timely delivery before Halloween.

Q: How can I track my order?
A: Once your order ships, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number and instructions to monitor your package.

3. Returns & Refunds

Q: What is your return policy?
A: We offer a 30-day return window for most items. Products must be unused, in original packaging, and returned before October 31 for seasonal products.

Q: Who pays for return shipping?
A: If the return is due to our error (wrong item, defective product), we cover return shipping. If it is due to customer preference, you are responsible for return shipping fees.

Q: How long does it take to receive my refund?
A: Approved refunds are processed within 5–7 business days after we receive your return. The time may vary depending on your payment provider.

Q: Can I exchange an item instead of getting a refund?
A: Yes. If the item is eligible for return and the replacement is in stock, we will process an exchange. If not, a refund will be issued.

4. Product Information

Q: Are your products safe for outdoor use?
A: Many of our decorations are designed for outdoor use. Please check product descriptions for usage instructions. Always follow safety guidelines for electrical items.

Q: Do your products come with a warranty?
A: While most seasonal products do not include a manufacturer’s warranty, we guarantee product quality and will replace defective items reported within 7 days of delivery.

Q: Why might there be slight differences between the product I receive and the online pictures?
A: Because we manage our own manufacturing process and many items are handcrafted, minor variations in color or design may occur. These do not affect product quality or functionality.

5. Halloween Season Questions

Q: When should I place my order to receive it before Halloween?
A: We recommend placing your order no later than October 15 to ensure on-time delivery. For larger yard decorations or bulk purchases, please order earlier in September.

Q: Do you restock sold-out items?
A: Some popular items are restocked, but due to seasonal demand, not all products will be available again until the next Halloween season.

Q: Can I pre-order items for next year?
A: Currently, we do not offer pre-orders for the following year, but we encourage customers to sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on new collections.

6. Customer Support

Q: How do I contact customer service?
A: You can reach us by email at TheHalloweenCollective@outlook.com. Our support team responds within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.

Q: Do you have physical stores?
A: Yes. In addition to our online shop, The Halloween Collective operates physical retail locations and has its own in-house production facility. This ensures authenticity, quality, and direct service.
