FAQ

Is a lawn necessary for stork sign installation?

For a secure and proper installation, we do require a traditional residential lawn, meaning an open grass space with unobstructed soil. Unfortunately, signs cannot be installed in areas covered with rocks, pea gravel, concrete, mulch, flower beds, raised beds, garden pots, or thick landscaping. We also avoid placing signs near public utility boxes, water mains, or other city, county, or state-owned structures to prevent potential access issues and damage. Our team drives a stake 10 inches into the ground to ensure safe and proper installation. If you have any questions regarding installation or location requirements, feel free to reach out to us!

If there’s no traditional lawn available, we’ll position the stork sign on the porch using a stand. Make sure to request a stork stand when placing your order. Additionally, we do offer the option of purchasing just the bundle as a door hanger.

When should I reserve a stork?

We’re thrilled to assist with your birth announcement signs! Reservations are accepted for scheduled births or events. If you have a planned delivery, book in advance to secure your preferred delivery date. For surprise arrivals, give us a call as soon as the baby is born, and we’ll strive to set up the stork sign before the new family returns home from the hospital. We typically deliver within 24-48 hours under normal circumstances. For a rush order(less than 24 hours), please give us a call to see if we have availability.  We do charge a $20 rush fee.  Most often, we are able to install the sign(s) before the baby arrives home, but it is not guaranteed.

If you’ve filled out our form, we’ll call to confirm your order and process payment over the phone. If you haven’t heard from us, please reach out at 256-658-1523 during our operating hours from 8 AM to 11 PM. We’re excited to help you celebrate your new bundle of joy!

Under what circumstances do you cancel an order?

Payment must be made 24 hours before the stork delivery date to avoid order cancellation. We will contact you via phone, text, or email to remind you of the pending payment and ensure everything is in order for your special occasion.

What is your refund policy?

We always strive to fulfill your requests to the best of our ability, and we’re happy to offer a refund in case of any issues with your order. However, please note that we require a 24-hour notice to fulfill any last-minute requests not previously discussed at the time of booking. You’re eligible for a full refund if you cancel your stork or birthday sign rental at least 24 hours before the delivery date or if extreme weather conditions prevent us from setting up your sign.

We do not offer refunds in the following scenarios:

• Inability to access gated communities due to incorrect or missing gate codes.
• Security guards at gated communities denying entry after a maximum of 10 minutes of waiting time. It’s essential to arrange access with the guard before delivery.
• Homeowners or recipients declining stork sign setup or requesting early pick-up before the rental period ends.
• Threats or obstacles from dogs or other animals preventing access to the property.
• Locations lacking a traditional lawn, especially if a stand wasn’t requested during booking.

We appreciate your understanding in these situations and always aim to ensure your satisfaction with our service.
