Express mail with Tracking via USPS is available for $19.00

Shipping to Canada

Standard shipping via USPS First Class mail is $4.50. We also offer International USPS Priority Mail for $23.00

Shipping to U.S.

After you place your order, we typically print and ship it out within 2-3 business days. After that, time in transit depends upon the shipping method you have selected.
  • First Class Mail arrives in 2-7 business days (US 50 states).
  • Priority Mail arrives in 2-3 business days (US 50 states)
  • Express Mail arrives the next day Mon.- Sat. (in some rare cases 2 days) (For guaranteed delivery time to your zip code, please use our zip code 90036 and do a real time check here at US Postal Service website: http://webapps.usps.com/expressmailcommitments)
Note: First Class and Priority Mail shipping times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Shipping times of up to 10 business days (14 business days during holiday periods) can occur. If you absolutely need your order to arrive by a certain date, we recommend upgrading to the Express Mail option. Please allow additional time for delivery of orders shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. Boxes, military addresses (APO, FPO), or US territories (i.e. Guam, Puerto Rico).

Shipping to Canada

Datevitation books are manufactured in Los Angeles and shipped to Canada via the US Post Office. It has been our experience that the vast majority of books are delivered within 7-10 days of shipment with First Class International Mail (the more affordable $4.50 option). On rare occasions however, books get held up in the customs bottleneck and can take longer for delivery. As a result, we conservatively provide the 7-21 day estimate for First-Class International, even though it is highly likely you will receive the book within 7-10 days of shipment. If you absolutely need your book to arrive by a certain date, then we suggest you upgrade to Priority International which will arrive 7-10 business days from the date of shipment.
Your book will be shipped in a discrete envelope. There are no stickers or promotional slogans on the shipping envelope other than those of the carrier. Also our packing slips do not include dollar amounts, which is perfect if you plan to ship your book directly to the recipient.
Yes. Please allow additional time for orders shipped to these addresses.
We currently only ship to (1) U.S. states, territories, military addresses; and (2) Canada. We apologize if you were looking to ship elsewhere, and we hope to expand our international shipping to other countries in the near future. However, our e-date platform is available worldwide. If you’d like to send a Datevitation e-Date to your sweetie today via email or Facebook, you can learn more here. Thank you!
Some USPS products provide Tracking, while others provide only Delivery Confirmation™. It is important to understand the difference between “tracking” and “delivery confirmation”.
  • First Class and Priority Mail – If you selected our standard shipping service via USPS First Class mail or upgraded to USPS Priority Mail, your package was shipped with Delivery Confirmation™. This means that when you check your order status you should see, at a minimum, when your order was delivered or when a delivery attempt occurred. USPS may also provide users with additional scan on items such as “processed”, “arrival at unit”, or “out for delivery.” However, the price of First Class and Priority Mail does not include end-to-end visibility.
  • Express Mail® – This product include tracking that provides end-to-end visibility. This means that when you check your order status you should see, at a minimum, when your order was accepted and when it was delivered or a delivery attempt occurred. Additionally, you will likely see several additional scans as the item moves through the mail stream, such as “processed’ or “arrival at unit”.

Creating Faces On Datevitation

No! If you prefer to not have photos of your actual faces in the book, you can use our default illustrated heads instead.
We have created a short video tutorial that shows you exactly how to upload and create a Face on Datevitation.  We highly recommend you watch the video (embedded below), which should answer all your questions.  If you have difficulty watching the video on this page, you can view it on youtube here.
As you can see in the video above, creating a face on Datevitation is a simple 4-step process.
  1. Upload A Photo - The first step is to upload a photo.   We give you the option to upload a photo from your computer or Facebook.   Please be sure to follow our photo guidelines for best printing results.
  2. Position Face - The next step is to position the face. Drag the face into the provided hole and use the controls to your left to Zoom and Rotate the photo for the perfect fit.  We also provide various jawline options for additional fine-tuning.
  3. Add A Hairstyle - The next step is to add a hairstyle.  We offer a variety of colors and hair style options.  If you prefer, you can opt against using a hairstyle in which case your face will appear as whatever you defined in Step 2.
  4. Save Face -  The final step is to name and save the face to your account.
To ensure your printing satisfaction, make sure you upload a: 
(1) Bright, Full-Color, High-Resolution photo
(2) with Even Lighting in which
(3) the person Is Facing The Camera Straight On and
(4) Nothing Is Covering the face.
Make sure you don’t:
  • Don’t upload a grainy, low-resolution photo (less than 500x500 pixels)
  • Don’t upload a picture that is very dark or washed out.
  • Don’t upload a photo of a face that is only partially visible.
Unfortunately not. Once you create and save a face, it cannot be edited. However, you can create as many Faces as you desire. If you do not like the first face you create, simply upload a new photo and try again until you get the desired result.
Yes.  If you log into your Account and go to the My Heads tab, then you will be able to delete faces.
No! This awesome functionality is included in the price of the book.
If you are having trouble adding faces, it is highly likely that you are using the Internet Explorer browser, which has compatibility issues with the HTML5 technology we use for the Faces Feature. Please switch to the Chrome, Firefox,or Safari browser to create your book, and you should not experience any issues adding and creating faces!

e-Date Membership Questions

Yes! Simply go to the “My Account” section, then the "e-Dates’ tab, then the “Membership” sub-tab. Once there, you will see a section at the bottom called “Free Partner Membership.” There, you can delete the former email associated with the free membership and then invite another person to enjoy the free membership.
When you send your first e-Date, the recipient will be prompted to sign up for his/her free membership upon opening your first e-Date. If the recipient signs up at that time, then the free membership will be redeemed and he or she can begin sending you unlimited e-Dates as well. If the recipient fails to sign up for the free membership upon receipt of the first e-Date, then you can always re-invite him or her by going to “My Account” > then the “e-Dates” tab > then the “Membership” subtab. At the bottom of the Membership page, there is a section entitled “Free Partner Membership.” There, you can enter the email of the person whom you wish to receive the free membership, and we’ll send an email to that address inviting him or her to sign up.
We need your billing information to reduce fraud, and verify you have a valid credit card should you keep your account open. This prevents any interruption of service. You won’t be billed unless you keep your account open past your 30-day free trial.

If your status states “Shipped,” then your order is currently being prepped for shipping or has already shipped.
