Quick note about our products

Handmade and factory-made goods represent two distinct approaches to production, each with its own characteristics and implications. Handmade goods are crafted by skilled artisans or individuals using traditional methods and tools, often with a high degree of personalization and attention to detail. These products typically carry a sense of uniqueness and authenticity, as they are often created in smaller quantities and reflect the artisan's expertise and creativity. The process of making handmade goods may be more time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it allows for greater customization and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship techniques.

On the other hand, factory-made goods are mass-produced in large quantities using machinery and automated processes within a factory setting. These products are often uniform in appearance and quality, designed for efficiency and scalability to meet consumer demand on a larger scale. Factory production enables cost-effective manufacturing, leading to lower prices and wider availability of goods. However, this standardized approach may sacrifice the individuality and craftsmanship found in handmade items. While factory-made goods offer consistency and affordability, they may lack the artisanal charm and character that handmade products embody.

Sales/Return Policy

Mercy Tree Woodworking Co. LLC ["Our"] is not responsible for any damage to the product after the items have been released from our warehouse or our delivery vehicle(s). If something gets damaged during a third-party freight delivery, the customer will find making an insurance claim with the delivery company, then reordering the item(s) as the best route forward.

All sales on custom-made items are final. This includes personalized items or “built-to-order” items. Our goal is to make you happy with your purchase, so let's communicate and solve any issues together!

In order to keep prices low and maintain inventory, all sales on any “pre-buy” items are final. Again, good communication is the best tool for resolution here if you have an extenuating circumstance.

Personalization

Mercy Tree Woodworking Co. LLC is not responsible for any misspelled words, typos, or similar grammatical errors submitted with an order. The submitted text will be used to personalize each item - we check spelling on each item at least 4 times before packaging.

If the wrong text is submitted with your order, please contact us ASAP! We will do our best to make necessary changes to a submitted personalization order (mistakes happen!) but we cannot guarantee your request for any changes submitted more than 12 hours after the order was originally submitted.

We will not personalize any item using words of profanity, hate speech, overtly sexual messages, or any other language deemed inappropriate (at the sole discretion of Mercy Tree Woodworking Co. LLC). In the event we deem a personalization option is in violation of this policy, we will contact the customer for an alternative option or cancel the order and issue a refund.
