CURRENT TURNAROUND TIME:
- Two Months from the date down payment is received to the date plush is completed (discussion and shipping time is not included in turnaround).

- Completion date is an estimate, not a guarantee. IF any extension is needed I will discuss it with you at the earliest possible notice. I do my best to get plushies done as quickly as possible, but as this is not currently my full time job, sometimes life can interfere.
- If you require your plush by a deadline (for example, a birthday), please let me know at the START of the commission. A rush fee may be applied.

- I am NOT responsible for any import/custom taxes that arise due to your country. Please be sure to check with your local post before ordering! (usually this is only an overseas issue)
STAGES
- Design – This is for if I need to sketch what your plush will look like before I start creating the pattern if needed. Not always necessary.
- Prototype – I create and test the patterns, make sure everything is correct. Plushies that use patterns I already have created (like ponies) generally skip parts of this stage.
- Final – Prototype and Pattern are complete, this is where the final plush is constructed.
REVISIONS
- I will supply a preview for revision at the Prototype stage only. At which time, I will provide one free revision as instructed by the commissioner during this stage if required. Any further revisions will incur additional fees.
NOTES
- I require reference pictures of the character you would like made into a plushie. I cannot work from descriptions alone.
- I reserve the right to simplify and/or alter your design as I see fit. Not everything can translate into a plushie. Please see the following guide for information on what makes a good plush! (guide works for all plushies, not just ponies)
