Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

Simple Sugar Design operates as an online shop only.  We are located in the beautiful city of St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Can your designs be made in French or another language?

Yes! We can do any design in French (or another language) as long as you provide the translation to us. Simply leave a note in the “customer notes” section when checking out with the translation. You will receive a proof to look over and make sure there are no errors before we print.

Why doesn't my coupon work?

There could be several reasons as to why a coupon code is invalid.  The first and most common reason being that all coupon codes are case sensitive (meaning they should be entered exactly as they appear, usually all uppercase letters).  Other reasons for an invalid code could be that the code has expired, something in your cart does not apply (pillows are usually excluded), or there is a problem with the code.  If you have tried entering the code exactly as it appears, and it hasn’t expired, please contact us (by phone, email, or facebook private message).

What is a proof? And which Designs include a proof?

A proof is a sample digital image of what your artwork will look like (with all your information) so that you may look over and double check that all the information you requested for the design is correct and looks just the way you like it.

Proofs are included on most products, but always for Birth Announcements, Love Stories, Family Stories, Our Stories, Family Trees, and Timeline designs.  If you are unsure if your artwork includes a proof, please contact us (by phone, email, or facebook private message).

 

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 2 proof limit, meaning all corrections should be made at one time before your second proof is sent to you. Any additional proofs, or changes to the design, may require extra design time fees.

Can I get a digital proof of my artwork if a proof is not included for my design?

Yes. If you would like to see a proof of your artwork, please contact us (by phone, email, or facebook private message).  Extra charges may apply.

How are digital downloads delivered?

There are two kinds of digital downloads – “Instant Download” and “Digital File”

When a product is labelled “Instant Download” in the drop-down menu, you will receive a “download”  link on your order confirmation page after checkout, which you can click and it will automatically download the file to your computer.

When a product is labelled “Digital File” in the drop-down menu, digital files will be sent to you via email once a designer has made any customization/personalizations and you have approved the proof.
