One Big Mission.

Why are dolphins tracked?

• Per our partners at the FIU Marine Conservation Ecology Lab, dolphins are tracked to better understand their movements and predict how environmental changes and human activities affect their populations! The specific goal of this project, being conducted in collaboration with their partner organization, the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, is to learn about the health and movements of dolphins residing over the offshore waters of the West Florida Shelf. The primary dolphin species inhabiting this more than 100-mile-wide continental shelf are bottlenose and Atlantic spotted. Prior to this project, little was known about their ranging patterns or their health in these offshore waters.

How are dolphins tracked?

• The dolphins are tagged with satellite-linked transmitters that report their locations and other data every-other-day. The very small and hydrodynamic tag is attached by means of a small pin through the trailing edge of the dorsal fin, and comes off the fin after the end of the battery life of the tag.

Does tracking harm the dolphin?

• Per our partners at the FIU Marine Conservation Ecology Lab: "No, otherwise we would not want to do it, nor would we be allowed to do it, as these are federally protected species. The research is being conducted under a Marine Mammal Protection Act permit issued by NOAA-NMFS to the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, and through Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approvals.  The tag design has been tested on hundreds of dolphins over more than 10 years and has no effects on the movements and behavior of the tagged dolphins."

Shipping Information

Paper Luxe currently ships all orders via USPS or UPS. We strive to ship out all packages within 1-3 business days after purchase, with many of our orders going out next day, Monday through Friday. A few items we carry may require additional processing time due to size, weight, or other special handling considerations.

Shipping is currently being offered for a $7.50 flat rate to locations in the USA. FREE standard shipping is available on orders over $100. As we cannot control the reliability of the USPS or UPS, delivery by a certain date is not guaranteed. Most orders once shipped take 3-7 days to arrive. Please allow more time if shipping to Hawaii (current shipping estimates are 3-5 weeks). If you need quicker shipping to Hawaii, please contact us and we can provide additional options and costs.

International Shipping

We do not currently offer international shipping.

Expedited Shipping

If you have special circumstances requiring expedited delivery, please email us at customercare@paper-luxe.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. We can usually ship UPS or Fedex 2-day or overnight with additional fees.

Sales Tax

Please note that orders shipped within Washington State will be charged sales tax. Out-of-state orders may be charged sales tax depending on individual state laws and regulations.

Backorders or Unavailable Items

If an item has sold out due to overwhelming demand, you will be notified regarding the back-order status, and your order will ship when our stock is replenished. We make an attempt to email all customers with back-ordered items and provide an estimated ship date. You will also be notified if the item will no longer be available. If this should occur after your order/payment has been received, you will be given the option of a full refund or store credit.

Cancellation Policy

Orders may be cancelled after completing your purchase up until 11pm PST on the date of purchase, provided the item has not been shipped. If an order is cancelled after your credit card has been processed, a full refund will be issued for the order amount plus shipping and tax, if applicable. If you wish to cancel an order which has already shipped, upon receipt of the item, please refer to our return policy.

Lost Packages

Lost packages happen rarely, but they do usually resolve themselves within 1-2 weeks (if not sooner) in our experience.

Most times, the package is either still on the mail truck or was accidentally delivered to a neighbor and will be redelivered within 1-2 days.

Our first recommendation is to reach out to your direct neighbors to see if the package was delivered to them. If that's not the case, please reach out to UPS or USPS directly and file a claim for the missing package with your tracking number.

Stolen Packages

Please ensure the shipping address you provide is a safe and secure address. We are not responsible for packages stolen during transit or off your porch. You can file a claim directly with UPS or USPS for these incidents.

Incorrect Address

Paper Luxe will not be held responsible if the customer provides the wrong shipping address and the package is not recovered. If we need to reship the package, the customer will be charged an additional shipping fee even if free shipping was earned on the order. The fee will be equal to our actual shipping cost.
