Ordering & My Account

Q: Do You Offer A Frequent Shopper Discount?

A: To thank our customers for ordering, Ellen Hutson, LLC offers a Frequent Shopper Discount each month. Customers who have placed an order in the previous two-month time frame will receive a promo code for 10% off their purchase total before shipping. Customers can use this code as many times as they desire, and using it qualifies customers to receive another code the very next month!

Frequent Shopper emails are sent out on the first of each month and are valid for the entire month. The discount cannot be combined with other promo codes but will combine with sales and discounts that do not require a code. We appreciate that customers do not distribute this discount code. We reserve the right to verify the order history of shoppers using the Frequent Shopper Discount.

Q: How Can I View the Status of My Order?

A: Log in to your account and select "My Account" in the top right-hand corner. Select "View Order Status" from My Account listing on the left.

Q: What Forms of Payment Do You Accept?

A: We accept payment via PayPal, as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay. PayPal lets you instantly send payments online using your bank account, most credit cards, and other sources.

Q: What if an item in my order is "backordered"?

A: We pride ourselves on maintaining correct information regarding inventory on our website. If an item is no longer in stock it will not be available to purchase on our site. Sign up to receive notification for when inventory becomes available. However, in the event that an item ordered is not in stock and we have missed updating that particular item, we will contact you by email to let you know the estimated ship date as quickly as possible.

Q: I can't find Buy with Prime - Where Did It Go?

A: We have made the decision to discontinue the Buy with Prime program because we did not have the control to get the orders shipped quickly and had orders extending out past 3 weeks. We are finding that we received better service by sending customers to our Amazon store. We are still working to update the store with our new release items, so you can also use this link. They are on Amazon so simply search Ellen Hutson + the name of the product if you are not able to find it. Thank you for your support and understanding.
