I found the same item I purchased from the Happy Planner.com at a local retailer for less, do you price match?
Why is an active promotion not being applied to my shopping cart?
The first step is to review the links to eligible products, requirements and exclusions via the "Promotion Details" link at the top of the website. This link will only be visible during the promotional event and it will be removed when the promotion ends.
Promotional Considerations:
- Promotional discounts, deals and offers are only available for a limited time. All discounts are tested prior to release to ensure that the promotion is active, working properly and able to be applied to new orders.
- As a result, we are not able to offer promotional price matching
- Placing a new order during a promotion does not automatically qualify the order for the promotion. In order to qualify for the promotion the discounts must applied to the cart prior to checkout.
- Submitting a support inquiry in regards to a active promotion does not ear-mark the promotion. If you are having trouble placing a new order under a active promotion make sure you review the final bullet of this list, thank you!
- Previous versions of our website can cause some promotions not to be applied properly. If you experience issues, please, clear your browser's memory/cache, close/re-open a browser window in Incognito or Private mode and try checking out again.
- Some promotions may present promotional items via a pop-up window when a eligible item is added to the cart. Please, ensure that pop-ups are enabled on your browser.
- If you are using a express payment method like Paypal or Amazon; keep in mind, that in rare cases using these payment methods can cause discounts that were previously applied to a cart to be removed. This is a rare technical issue and if you experience this issue and you feel it is due to the payment method used. Please, place the order and reach out to us with your new order # requesting we review your order.
- If you experience any issues at all; please, note that we do not offer promotional price matching. If you feel your order is eligible for a active promotion: place the order during the promotion, provide us the new order # in a message and request that we review your order for eligibility
- We will review your order within 4-6 business days and provide you update via email
My planner seems to be missing dates! Is it?
Our planners are set up consecutively, so the end of the
month might fall at the beginning of the following month. Please note the Monthly
layout calendar runs from Saturday to Sunday, and the weekly pages run Monday to
Sunday.

Can rewards points be combined with promotions?
Rewards points cannot be combined with other discount codes or promotional offers. At checkout you may have the option to apply rewards point or an active promotional offer.
More Info
Are there any product(s) that are excluded from redeeming rewards points?

Do you ship Disney products internationally?

Promo codes do not apply when using express checkout, please proceed to the main checkout window to enter in your promo code. *Exclusions Apply
I placed several orders in one day can they be combined?
Unfortunately we are unable to combine orders and
shipping will be charged for each separate order.
I tried to place an order, but something went wrong. Why do I see a charge on my account?
When you attempt to make a purchase, an authorization
hold is automatically processed. Pending authorizations are temporary
holds on your credit line that guarantees available funds for the purchase
costs. An authorization is not a charge to your account. If
the order isn’t successful, it will disappear automatically. This can take
around 3 to 5 business days.
I placed an order, but I didn’t get a confirmation email.
Order emails can take up to 12 hours, if you still haven’t
received an email, we’re happy to look into this for you. Contact our Customer Happiness
team and we’ll straighten it out!
Express Payment Consideration:
If you forgot to sign in to your Happy Planner account and a payment express option was used at checkout all order notifications will be sent to the email address associated with the express payment method used.
Email Typo:
If the email address is entered with an error; please, contact us for assistance.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We gladly accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, Discover, JCB, Amazon Pay and Diners Club.
Why am I getting an error message that my zip code is invalid at checkout?
Check to make sure that the billing address you entered matches the address on file with your credit card company. That usually does the trick!
Do you offer promotional or retail store price-matching?
The Happy Planner does not offer price matching or price adjustments
In order to be eligible for a promotion, all requirements of
the offer must be met (see promotional details link at the top of any page on
our site during the promotional period) and the discount or promotion must be
applied to the order prior to check out.

The Carrier's shipment link has received no updates for a period of 7 Days. I think my shipment is lost, what do I do next?
- A lack of updates does not necessarily mean the shipment is lost. It is quite common for carriers to miss scans as a parcel makes its way from hub to hub only to back date the updates upon delivery
