If we cancel your order, you will receive an email explanation and a full refund.

Approximate costs (US only):

  • Single mug (11-15oz): 4.99−6.99

  • Tumbler: 5.99−7.99

  • Set of 4 glasses: 7.99−9.99

International shipping costs vary widely. Please add items to your cart and enter your address for an accurate quote.

Q8: Do you ship internationally?

A: Yes! We currently ship to:

  • United States (all 50 states + territories)

  • Canada

  • United Kingdom

  • Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ireland

  • Australia, New Zealand

  • Japan, South Korea, Singapore

We do not currently ship to: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine (due to conflict), North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, or countries under US trade sanctions.

Q9: Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?

A: For international orders, you are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or VAT imposed by your country.

How it works:

  1. You pay JOYMADE for products + shipping

  2. Your country’s customs may assess additional fees

  3. The carrier will contact you to pay these fees before releasing your package

  4. If you refuse to pay, the package may be abandoned or returned (you will not receive a refund)

Tip: Check with your local customs office before ordering to estimate fees. For small packages (under $50 value), many countries do not assess duties.

Q10: My tracking says “Delivered” but I didn’t receive it. What do I do?

A: First, don’t panic. Here’s what to do:

Step 1: Check around your property – behind bushes, with neighbors, or at your building’s front desk/leasing office.

Step 2: Wait 24-48 hours. Carriers sometimes mark packages “delivered” early and actually deliver the next day.

Step 3: Contact the carrier directly with your tracking number (USPS: 1-800-275-8777, UPS: 1-800-742-5877, FedEx: 1-800-463-3339). They can provide GPS coordinates of where the package was scanned.

Step 4: If still not found, email joymade.bachwl@gmail.com within 7 days of “delivered” status. We will:

  • File a missing package claim with the carrier

  • Offer a replacement (if available) or refund after the carrier concludes their investigation (up to 14 days)

Note: We cannot refund or replace packages marked “delivered” if the carrier investigation confirms delivery to the correct address. Consider shipping to a secure location or requiring signature (available for an additional fee – contact us to arrange).


💰 Payment & Pricing Questions

A: We accept:

  • Credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, UnionPay

Please double-check spelling, dates, and design selections before submitting custom orders.


🎨 Product Questions

Q21: Are your mugs dishwasher and microwave safe?

A: It depends on the product:

Product Type Dishwasher Safe? Microwave Safe? Notes
Standard ceramic mugs ✅ Yes (top rack) ✅ Yes Avoid bottom rack (intense heat may damage etching)
Etched glassware ✅ Yes (top rack) ⚠️ Not recommended Glass can overheat unevenly
Stainless steel tumblers ✅ Yes (top rack) ❌ NO – Metal in microwave causes sparks/fire Hand wash recommended for longest life
Mugs with metallic accents ❌ No (hand wash only) ❌ No Metal trim reacts to dishwasher chemicals

Best practice: Hand washing with mild soap extends the life of all drinkware, especially etched designs.

Q22: Do your products contain lead or BPA?

A: No. All JOYMADE products are:

  • Lead-free (ceramic glazes and glass)

  • BPA-free (plastic lids on tumblers)

  • Phthalate-free

  • Food-safe (certified compliant with FDA and EU food contact standards)

We source only from suppliers who provide material safety certifications. Customer safety is non-negotiable.

Q23: How do I care for my etched drinkware?

A: To keep your JOYMADE products looking beautiful:

DO:

  • Hand wash with soft sponge and mild dish soap

  • Dry immediately with soft cloth

  • Store with space between items (avoid stacking)

  • Use non-abrasive cleaners (baking soda paste for stains)

DON’T:

  • Use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners (will scratch etching)

  • Soak for extended periods (may weaken design over time)

  • Put stainless steel tumblers in microwave (fire hazard)

  • Use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners

For ceramic mugs with stubborn coffee/tea stains: Fill with warm water, add a denture tablet, let soak 30 minutes, then rinse.

Q24: Are your tumblers actually insulated?

A: Yes! Our stainless steel tumblers feature double-wall vacuum insulation:

  • Keeps hot drinks hot for 6-8 hours

  • Keeps cold drinks cold for 12-16 hours (with ice)

  • Exterior stays room temperature (no condensation or burnt hands)

Tested: Fill with ice water at 8 AM, still cold at 8 PM. Fill with coffee at 6 AM, still warm at noon.

Q25: What sizes do your products come in?

A: Standard sizes:

Product Sizes Available
Ceramic mugs 11oz (standard), 15oz (large), 20oz (jumbo)
Tumblers 20oz (standard), 30oz (large)
Water glasses 12oz set of 4, 16oz set of 4
Espresso cups 3oz set of 2 or 4
Saucers 6-inch (fits 11oz mugs and espresso cups)

🎁 Custom & Personalization Questions

Q26: Can I put my own design on a mug?

A: Yes! We offer custom etching for:

  • Text: Names, quotes, dates, monograms

  • Simple logos: Business or personal logos (vector format preferred)

  • Line art: Simple drawings or silhouettes

Limitations: We cannot reproduce complex photographs (too many shades of gray), copyrighted characters (Disney, Marvel, etc.), or trademarked logos (sports teams, brands) without proof of license.

How to order:

  1. Select a product (mug, tumbler, glass)

  2. Choose “Custom Design” option

  3. Upload your design or type your text

  4. Our design team will email a proof within 24 hours

  5. Approve proof – then we produce and ship

Custom orders add 3-5 business days to processing time.

Q27: Can you engrave a photo on a tumbler?

A: For photos (like pet portraits or family photos), we use a specialized process that works best on our stainless steel tumblers. The result is a “photo-realistic” engraving – not actual photograph quality (it’s still etched metal), but a beautiful silhouette-style representation.

Best results: High-contrast, simple images with clear subject. Busy group photos or low-resolution images do not engrave well. Our design team will advise before production.

Q28: What if there’s a mistake on my custom order?

A: Mistakes happen. Here’s how we handle them:

If YOU made the mistake (typo in the text you submitted, wrong date, etc.): Custom orders are non-refundable. However, we offer a 50% discount on a re-order (you pay for materials + shipping; we waive design/labor fees).

If WE made the mistake (misspelled something you typed correctly, wrong color, wrong design): We will produce and ship a corrected replacement at no cost to you. You keep the original (or we may ask you to donate it).

Always double-check your proof approval email! Once you approve the proof, you accept the design as final.
