Help Desk

Welcome to the Raeesa Studio Help Desk. We’re here to provide you with answers.

BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER

Will my order arrive on time?

If you’re unsure whether your order will arrive in time, or if your date is time-sensitive, please fill out the time-sensitive inquiry form and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

All orders are handmade and made to order, so a production time is required. Certificates are prepared within 4–5 business days (5–6 for folder sets) before shipping; pickup orders are ready within 4 business days. Additional customizations (such as crests, color changes, or text edits) require extra time to complete before dispatched for shipping.

After production, delivery typically takes 2–3 weeks within the U.S. and Canada, and up to 30 business days internationally. Expedited shipping and studio pickup (GTA) are available at checkout. Shipping times only begin after production once your order has been dispatched. Visit our Shipping and Production page for detailed information.

When should I place my order?

For U.S and Canada orders, we recommend you place your order as early as possible or at-least 4 weeks ahead of time to accommodate for any delays. For orders outside of North America, we recommend you order at-least 1-2 months in advance or earlier. If you’re unsure whether your order will arrive on time, please contact us or submit the time-sensitive inquiry form before placing your order.

Does the nikah certificate come with a frame or pen?

Frames and pens are included exclusively with our bundles. Folder sets include a pen.

Certificates purchased on their own do not include a frame or pen, however both are available for purchase separately. Purchase frames and pens here.

Will I get a preview after ordering?

We will only send a text preview if you specifically request it when placing your order. To request a preview, please write “send me a preview” in the notes section of the order form. Text previews are also automatically provided if you choose an extra customization such as text changes, color changes, or a couple’s crest, or select a non-English language text.

If you do not request a preview, we will proceed directly with your order and dispatch it as quickly as possible, using the information you submitted on your order form. For the fastest dispatch, we recommend not requesting a preview.

Standard preview requests will be sent via email within 1–2 business days. Orders with extra customization will receive a preview within 3–5 business days. If further edits are requested after the initial preview, a revised preview will be sent within 1–2 business days. Once you approve the final text, please allow 5 business days for us to create your certificate before it is dispatched for shipping.

Important: Requesting a preview may extend the production timeline, especially if multiple edits are needed or if there is a delay in your approval. It is your responsibility to respond promptly to our emails and, if needed, to accommodate any expedited shipping to meet your desired delivery date.

Note: Due to copyright restrictions, the border design is not included in the preview, unless you have requested a color change as part of your customization.

Will my order be packed safely for shipping?

Rest assured, your order is carefully packed to ensure safe delivery. Certificates ordered on their own are shipped either rolled in a sturdy tube or flat in a reinforced box with layered protection. Orders that include a frame or bundle are always shipped flat, with protective layers, alongside the frame or additional items.

For our Folder Nikah Contract sets, the certificate pages are placed inside the folder with acid-free protective paper between each page and around the vegan leather. The folder is then wrapped in plastic and secured in a foldable box for shipping.

If your certificate arrives damaged, please contact us and we’ll work with you to find a solution.

AFTER PLACING YOUR ORDER

Did you receive my order and what happens next?

Once you place an order, you will automatically receive a confirmation email with your order details. If you don’t see it in your inbox, please check your spam or junk folder before contacting us.

What if I made a mistake in my order details?

If you made a mistake in your order details, please contact us immediately with the corrected information. We begin production quickly, so changes are not guaranteed.

I requested a text preview. When can I expect to receive it?

Standard preview requests will be sent via email within 1–2 business days. Orders with extra customization will receive a preview within 3–5 business days. If further edits are requested after the initial preview, a revised preview will be sent within 1–2 business days. Once you approve the final text, please allow 5 business days for us to create your certificate before it is dispatched for shipping.

Text previews are not sent unless requested. It must be requested in the notes section of your order form or you will not be sent a preview.

When will my order ship and will I receive tracking?

You will receive tracking information via email once your order has shipped. Please be sure to check your spam or junk folders as well. Orders ship according to the production times listed for your item.

Can I cancel my order?

As our products are customized and made to order, we do not offer refunds once your order has been shipped. We do not accept returns or exchanges.

If you wish to cancel your order after placing it, we offer refunds with a retention fee based on the stage of processing.

If your order has been processed but not yet printed, a $10 USD retention fee will apply for the refund. If it's in the embellishment or packing phase, a $70 USD retention fee will be deducted for cancellation.

My order seems stuck in transit. What should I do?

If you have received your tracking information and notice no movement, please contact us so we can check the issue. Our shipping partner processes packages before handing them off to local carriers, so tracking updates may not appear immediately after the label is created. However, if it has been some time and there is still no movement, contact us right away so we can open an investigation with the shipping company.

AFTER RECEIVING YOUR ORDER

How do I put together the frame?

Here is a step-by-step guide to assembling Raeesa Studio frames.

I received my order damaged, what do I do?

If your certificate arrives damaged, please contact us within 10 business days of receipt with photos of the damage and your order number. This policy applies only to damage that occurs during shipping. We will promptly arrange a replacement.

Something is wrong with my order. What should I do?

If you notice any other issues with your order, we do our very best to help. Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and any other details we need, and we will work with you to resolve it quickly.

My order arrived after my nikah. Am I eligible for a refund?

We’re very sorry your order didn’t arrive on time. Refunds are not provided for shipping delays, as transit delays are out of our control (please see our Terms of Service that was also linked at checkout). We complete and dispatch orders according to the timelines listed on our website. We are not responsible for delays caused by the carrier, customs, weather, or other transit issues.

Please keep in mind that shipping timelines only begin after dispatch, not when the order is placed. As our products are made to order, a production period is required before shipping.

Our certificate was damaged after the ceremony. What can we do?

If your certificate has been damaged after the nikkah, we can work with you to find a solution. Depending on the situation, we may be able to offer a replacement at a discounted rate. Please contact us so we can discuss the best option for you.

Our certificate has worn down over time. Can it be replaced?

If your certificate has become damaged over time, the extent of wear usually depends on how it was stored. We recommend following proper archival practices to preserve your certificate. Please see our Care Guide  for details. That said, we can also work with you to arrange a replacement at a special rate, depending on the situation. Please contact us with photos of the damage.
