   Yes. There is a 'You have been sent a hug' notecard in every Hug Box with the contents listed and your message. The message box is located on the 'add to cart' page under the payment options. Please be sure to include their name and yours in the message, since the return mailing address is the Hug Box address. They will not know who their Hug Box is from unless you add it to your notecard. Also, we add their name to the front of the card. 
    
   Please note: If you are using a third party to pay (GooglePay, ApplePay, ShopPay, PayPal or AmazonPay), you will not be able to submit your message for the notecard that is on our 'add to cart' page since your third party payment takes you to a new site. And the third party payment, may not let you submit a different shipping address other than the one on your personal account. Please email us at hello@thehugbox.com, with your order #, the recipient's name, your message and who it is from and recipient's shipping address if it isn't correct on your order confirmation. 
   
   If we haven't received a message for your notecard at the time of your order, we will contact you via email. If after contacting you, we haven't been emailed a message, we simply write 'You have been sent a hug' from [your name].

   It takes 1-2 days to process and shipping timeline will depend on the state it is being shipped to and you will be given an estimated time via USPS Priority Mail or USP Ground when you place your order. We are a small business located in Georgia (and aren't Amazon), so it will take more time to get to further states.  
   
   Please note: Remember not to include Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays for your delivery timeline. We cannot guarantee a specific day of delivery of your package.
   
   Please be aware that if you give us a shipping address for a company/office/hospital/assisted living or the like, delivery might be another day or two according to their internal mail system unless you chose local delivery in the Newnan, Georgia area.
   
   UPS cannot send packages to P.O. Boxes.
   
   Once a package is noted 'delivered' we can not control if it is lost or stolen. We hope this would not occur, but if it does please let us know immediately and we will help direct you to file your claim.

    This is a gift so there will never be a receipt in a Hug Box. You, as the client, will however receive an email with an order receipt and confirmation as well as updates on shipping.
