I accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and American Express. You do not need to have a Paypal account to checkout using this method. Please contact me for any questions regarding payment or to set up special terms if this policy does not work for you. I will review on a case by case basis.
When do I get my Items?
I ship USPS first class mail. I process most orders within 3-4 business days (this means leave my studio, not arrive to you. Shipping time varies depending on speed selected at checkout, but averages from 2-5 business days, and should be added to processing time). Please note that all Holidays and weekends are "no ship" days. If you have a custom order, please expect to add one to two business days onto your processing time. I do not process orders on weekends and I am closed on Saturdays & Sundays. I also observe all major holidays, some of the minor holidays, and some days that aren't holidays at all! If you need to have your order expedited, I offer Priority & Express Shipping for all my listings. If you would like to ship your order via Express Mail, please contact me BEFORE you place your order so I can verify that I will be available to ship out next business day for you.

**Once an item leaves my shop, USPS is responsible for the delivery of the item. While I will always do my very best to work with you to ensure you have your item by the date needed, I cannot control holdups and delays within the United States Postal Service. The only guaranteed delivery they offer is Express (next day) Service through USPS. Otherwise, all times shown are an estimated date of arrival, and could take up to 30 days to arrive once in the posession of USPS. Clams and A Ham Dog is not responsible for costs associated with re-shipment of an item due to wrong address, USPS misdeliveries, return to sender, etc.**
What about returns and refunds?
If for some reason you feel that an item does not live up to your expectations, please contact me within 30 days of purchase to request a replacement. Please consider the handmade nature of my items before requesting a return. I will do everything in my power to ensure that your are happy with your purchase!
Can I get specific colors?
Please keep in mind that everyone's computer screen calibration is different. A color that you might see on your screen, could be different from what I see on mine, and different from what prints out on my printers. While I will always work with you to try and match colors as closely as possible, I cannot guarantee that a color will look the same once it is in print.
I print on laser printers, which use heat to set the toner, so the colors are usually very deep and crisp. If you are trying to match an existing item, it is best that you let me know first and ask lots of questions. I can tell you what my products look like post-production and if I can adjust colors prior to printing. Not all of my designs can be adjusted lighter or darker, so it is important to start the dialogue before placing your order. If you have a specific pantone swatch color available please ask if I am able to correctly match it. I will do my very best to ensure you love the colors of your products.
In 2011, I left a career in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring to pursue my true passion, creative arts! Since then, I have jumped into graphic design, event design & running my Etsy store full-time. I love what I am doing, and that joy is reflected in every design I produce!
The most frequently asked question I get about my shop is, "What's with the funny name?" Well, Clams and A Ham Dog is actually a long-standing family joke!
Several years ago, when my younger sister was maybe 4 years old, my mom was making supper. When she asked my sister what she wanted to eat that night, Nicole got really quiet. After a few moments lost in thought, she turned to my mom and replied "I want Clams and A Ham Dog!" Of course no one knew what the heck she was talking about, but it was so random that it stuck! We all got a good laugh, and to this day, for fun we ask for Clams and A Ham Dog for supper! When I started my shop, I couldn't think of a better name... it is something that has happy, funny memories for myself and everyone in my family, and hopefully it is so random, that it just might stick!
Every design in my shop is both designed and manufactured by me! I do not have an inventory of stickers waiting to ship out. I print and package each set as you order them! This helps keep my costs low and ensures that you get exactly what you are looking for. As such, my production times can vary with work load, so it is important to always check with me before ordering if you are looking to have an item in hand with less than seven business days lead time. Thank you for visiting my shop!!
