1. I have two kitty cats! I keep them away from my dresses, and I lint roll before shipping, but please be forewarned if you have a major allergy!!! 2. I will ship out as soon as I can after purchase, and as of now I only ship within the US. 3. Once packages are shipped, I can't do much to help if they are lost. I'll make sure to send tracking numbers so that you can contact the proper channels. 4. I will happily trade if you have something I'm in love with, just shoot me a message!
