This page explains the quickest way to contact us, what to include so that we can help on the first reply, and which page answers each kind of question straight away.</p>\n<section class=\"policy-summary\">\n<h2>How to reach us</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Email:</strong> <a href=\"mailto:support@koishine.com\">support@koishine.com</a></li>\n<li><strong>Support ticket:</strong> <a href=\"/submit-ticket/\">open a ticket</a> with a pre-filled subject for your topic</li>\n<li><strong>Reply time:</strong> within 1 business day, Monday to Friday, excluding US public holidays</li>\n<li><strong>Business address:</strong> Koishine, 1113 Michigan Ct, Alexandria, VA 22314, US</li>\n</ul>\n</section>\n<h2>Email is the best way to reach us</h2>\n<p>Email lets you send a photo, lets us read your personalisation exactly as you wrote it, and gives both of us a written record of what was agreed. Every message to <a href=\"mailto:support@koishine.com\">support@koishine.com</a> is read by a person, and we reply within 1 business day. Most messages are answered much sooner. We do not offer telephone support at present, which means we never ask you to read out details over the phone.</p>\n<p>If you have not heard back within 1 business day, please check your spam or promotions folder, then write again; adding support@koishine.com to your contacts helps our replies reach your inbox.</p>\n<h2>What to include in your message</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your order number</strong>, if you have one. It is in your order confirmation email and starts with a number sign.</li>\n<li><strong>The email address used at checkout</strong>, if you are writing from a different address.</li>\n<li><strong>What you need</strong>, in a sentence or two: a change, a return, a question about a photo, a late parcel.</li>\n<li><strong>Photos</strong>, if something arrived damaged or does not look right: the piece, the problem and the shipping label.</li>\n<li><strong>Exact text</strong>, if you are changing personalisation: type it in full as it should appear.</li>\n<li><strong>A date</strong>, if the keepsake needs to arrive by a particular day.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Please never include card numbers, security codes, passwords or one-time passcodes in a message. We will never ask for them.</p>\n<h2>Find the right answer quickly</h2>\n<table>\n<caption>Where to look for each type of question</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Your question</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Page with the answer</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">When to email us instead</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Where is my order?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/order-tracking/\">Order Tracking</a></td>\n<td>No tracking email after 4 business days, or no movement for 7 business days</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How long will delivery take, and what does it cost?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/shipping-delivery/\">Shipping &amp; Delivery</a></td>\n<td>You need the keepsake by a particular date</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Can I change a name, date or photo?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change an Order</a></td>\n<td>Always: send the change with your order number</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Can I send something back?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges</a></td>\n<td>To start a return or exchange</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>When will my money come back?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/refund-policy/\">Refund Policy</a></td>\n<td>7 calendar days have passed since approval</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Which size or material should I choose?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/size-guide/\">Size Guide</a> and <a href=\"/faqs/\">FAQs</a></td>\n<td>You would like an opinion on a specific photo</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How do payments work?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/payment-methods/\">Payment Methods</a></td>\n<td>A payment failed or you see a duplicate charge</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How is my information used?</td>\n<td><a href=\"/privacy-policy/\">Privacy Policy</a></td>\n<td>To access, correct or delete your information</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright or trademark concern</td>\n<td><a href=\"/dmca/\">DMCA</a> and <a href=\"/intellectual-property-policy/\">Intellectual Property</a></td>\n<td>To send a notice</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h2>Questions before you order</h2>\n<p>You are welcome to write before placing an order. Customers often send a photo and ask which size suits it, whether an old scan will print clearly, how many names fit on a design, or whether a piece can arrive in time for a date. Send the photo as an attachment at full size and tell us where the keepsake will be displayed. We will give you a straight answer, including when we think a different format would suit your photo better.</p>\n<p>If you would find it easier to describe your order in an email than to fill in the product page, tell us. We will help you choose, read your personalisation back to you before anything is made, and send you a link to complete payment through the normal checkout.</p>\n<h2>Writing to us after a loss</h2>\n<p>If you are ordering a memorial piece, there is no need to explain more than you want to. Tell us what you would like and any date it is needed for. If you need to change details, pause an order or return a piece because it is too soon, a short message is enough. We reply with the same care whichever of these it is.</p>\n<h2>What happens after you write</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Your message arrives</strong> in our support inbox and is matched to your order using the order number or your email address.</li>\n<li><strong>A person reads it</strong> and checks the order: what was entered at checkout, whether making has started and where the parcel is.</li>\n<li><strong>You get a reply within 1 business day</strong> with an answer, a confirmation of the change you asked for, or a clear next step, such as a prepaid return label.</li>\n<li><strong>We follow the case through.</strong> If something depends on a carrier or a payment provider, we tell you when we will write again and do so, even if there is no news yet.</li>\n<li><strong>We confirm when it is closed</strong>, for example when your remade piece has shipped or your refund has been approved.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>If your question needs a photo from you, such as a clearer picture for printing, we explain exactly what to send and keep your order paused until it arrives, so nothing is made from the wrong file. Please reply in the same email thread rather than starting a new one, so that the history stays together and nobody has to ask you to repeat yourself.</p>\n<h2>Writing from Canada, Australia or New Zealand</h2>\n<p>We answer messages during US business days, Monday to Friday. Because of time differences, a message sent on a Friday evening in Sydney or Auckland usually reaches us on Friday morning US time and may be answered that day, while a message sent on a Saturday is answered on Monday. If something is time-sensitive, such as a change during the 24-hour correction window, write as soon as you can: the window is counted from your order time, and a request that arrives inside it is honoured even if our reply comes after it has closed.</p>\n<h2>If you received a keepsake as a gift</h2>\n<p>You can contact us directly about a gift you received, whether it arrived damaged, the text is not right, or you would like to return it. You do not need the buyer&#8217;s order number; your name and the delivery address on the parcel are enough for us to find it. We will deal with you directly and keep the buyer informed where that is appropriate, without discussing prices with you unless you ask.</p>\n<h2>Our business details</h2>\n<p>Koishine is an online shop based at 1113 Michigan Ct, Alexandria, VA 22314, US. There is no showroom or collection point at this address, and parcels are not handed over there. Please do not send returns to this address unless our return instructions tell you to; the prepaid label we send for a return shows where the parcel should go. Formal notices, such as copyright notices or legal correspondence, may be sent by post to this address, although email reaches us faster.</p>\n<h2>Messages that are not from us</h2>\n<p>Koishine only contacts you from support@koishine.com and only about an order you placed or a message you sent. We will never:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>ask for card details, bank passwords or one-time codes;</li>\n<li>ask you to pay a fee to release a parcel, change a delivery or claim a refund;</li>\n<li>send you a link to a payment page that is not on koishine.com;</li>\n<li>contact you through social media messages about an order.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you receive a message like that using our name, please do not reply or click its links. Forward it to <a href=\"mailto:support@koishine.com\">support@koishine.com</a> so that we can warn other customers.</p>\n<h2>Examples of messages that get the fastest answers</h2>\n<p>You do not need to write formally. These short examples show the kind of detail that lets us act on the first reply:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A change:</strong> &#8220;Order 1042. Please change the second name on the ornament from Jon to John. Everything else is correct.&#8221;</li>\n<li><strong>A photo question:</strong> &#8220;Before I order: will this photo work for the 8&#215;10 acrylic frame? It is a scan of a print from the 1980s. Attached at full size.&#8221;</li>\n<li><strong>A delivery question:</strong> &#8220;Order 1057 to Melbourne. Tracking has not changed for 8 business days. The frame is for a service on the 20th.&#8221;</li>\n<li><strong>A damaged parcel:</strong> &#8220;Order 1063 arrived with a cracked corner. Photos of the box, the label and the frame attached. I would like a replacement.&#8221;</li>\n<li><strong>A return:</strong> &#8220;Order 1071. I would like to return the 5&#215;7 frame for a refund. It is unused and in its box.&#8221;</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Each of these can be answered in one reply because it names the order, says what is needed and includes what we would otherwise have to ask for.</p>\n<h2>How we keep your messages</h2>\n<p>Support conversations are kept for up to 2 years after the last message so that we can help with related questions, and photos you attach are used only for your case. You can ask us to delete a conversation at any time, unless we need it to complete a refund or claim that is still open. Our <a href=\"/privacy-policy/\">Privacy Policy</a> has the full details.</p>\n<h2>Busy periods</h2>\n<p>In the weeks before Christmas, Mother&#8217;s Day and Father&#8217;s Day, we receive more messages than usual. Our reply time stays within 1 business day, but if you are asking about a date, please write early: answers about whether a piece can arrive in time are only useful while there is still time to order. During these periods we answer questions about orders that are already being made first, then questions before ordering, so that keepsakes already in progress are never held up.</p>\n<h2>Accessibility</h2>\n<p>If any part of the site is hard to use with a screen reader, keyboard or larger text, or if you would simply prefer to order by email, write to us. We will help you complete your order and confirm your personalisation in writing before anything is made, at the same price and under the same policies.</p>\n<h2>Feedback and suggestions</h2>\n<p>We read every suggestion: a design you could not find, a photo size you needed, a part of checkout that confused you, a page that did not answer your question. Write to us with the subject &#8220;Suggestion&#8221;. We cannot promise to make every suggestion, but each one is considered when we decide what to change or add.</p>\n<h2>Permission and press requests</h2>\n<p>Writers, bloggers and organisations who would like to use our product photos or quote our guides can ask for permission by email. Please describe what you would like to use, where it will appear and for how long. Our <a href=\"/intellectual-property-policy/\">Intellectual Property Policy</a> explains what is allowed without asking.</p>\n<h2>More help</h2>\n<p>Our <a href=\"/help-center/\">Help Center</a> gathers every support topic in one place, and our <a href=\"/faqs/\">frequently asked questions</a> answer the most common ones in a sentence or two.
