Why didn't I receive my email message?

Typically, when a customer cannot receive our email messages it is due to one of these causes: 

  • Typographical error in the email address entered during registration.
    We've found the most common reason that emails are not received is that a typographical error was made while entering an email address. Sign in and validate your account information.
  • Email filtered to spam folder.
    If this is your first message from us, your inbox may have filtered the email to your spam or junk folder. If you do not see an email that you were expecting from us, please check your spam and junk folders.   

  • Preferences or email filters may be blocking our email address.
    Most email filters control unwanted email by blocking email addresses originating from an unwanted source. If you suspect that an email filter is preventing you from receiving your order and shipping confirmations for orders from our website, you will need to add our email address anniesattic@orders.anniescraftstore.com to your address book or list of approved senders.
