How much do you charge for shipping?
For US domestic, contiguous orders over $125 ground shipping is FREE! For orders under $125 we have subsidized rates ranging from $7.99–$17.99; this means that we absorb a lot of shipping costs on behalf of our customers.

Product Questions
Magnets don't work on my refrigerator. What's up with that?
That's too bad. Your refrigerator is made using medical grade stainless steel. We created our magnetic letter board slates for this very reason. They allow you to use our alphabet magnets anywhere you like, throughout your home or office.
Will your letters work on glass magnet boards?
Although our letters have strong magnetic backings, they will not work on glass magnet boards.
What materials are used in your letter sets?
Our soft letters are made of a soft foam material with rubber sheet magnets. They have been third-party safety tested for ages 3+ for USA and Canadian markets
Where are your products manufactured?
Most of our products and packaging are made and/or assembled by hand in China. Our organizers, flat magents, acrylic products and our stickers are made in the USA.
How durable are these magnets?
Our foam alphabet magnets are designed with kids in mind, so they’re fairly durable for everyday use. They’re made of soft EVA foam with a flat rubber sheet magnet backing, making them lightweight and safe for little hands. While they’re not indestructible, they hold up well to regular play.
If you do notice any dents or dings, don’t worry! A little bit of heat from a hair dryer can work wonders to pop those out and restore the magnets to their original shape. Just be sure to use a low heat setting and hold the dryer at a safe distance.
Are your alphabet magnets waterproof?
Our foam alphabet magnets are water-resistant and can be easily washed with water—great for cleaning up after playtime or accidental messes! While they can handle getting wet, they’re not designed for regular outdoor use. Extended sun exposure may cause the colors to fade, and the foam may harden over time with exposure to weather conditions. For the best longevity, we recommend keeping them indoors and away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Can I give a letter set to a child? Are they toy-tested?
Our soft foam alphabet magnets are third-party toy-tested and approved for ages 3 and up in the US and Canada. We do recommend adult supervision as they do contain small parts.
My set is missing a character, what can I do?
Oops! Sorry about that! Our sets are assembled by hand so there is the possibility of human error. Don’t worry just let us know within 20 business days of your purchase and we’ll send you a replacement.
How big are your magnetic letters?
Our magnetic letters come in two sizes:
- 1-inch letters: Each is 1" tall and 1/4" deep, with varying widths depending on the letter.
- 2-inch letters: Each is 2" tall and also 1/4" deep, with widths that vary by letter.
Both sizes are perfectly sized for little hands while maintaining a sleek and modern look for your home or classroom.
Can I use these letters in my restaurant or cafe?
Of course! We've even created special 800-pc bundles just for you. Save Big – Shop Menu Maker Bundles
Can I order individual letters or numbers?
Unfortunately, no. Our letter sets are mass-manufactured as complete sets, and we cannot break them apart as it renders the rest of the set unsaleable.
If you need extras of a specific letter or number, we recommend purchasing additional sets to ensure you have enough for your project.
When will something be back in stock?
If the item you’re asking about is marked as a final sale, it’s likely not coming back. For all other items, feel free to reach out to us at support@thetypesetco.com, and we’ll be happy to provide a more accurate timeframe for restocks.
We also recommend signing up to be notified directly on the product page so you’ll be the first to know when it’s back!

How do I clean my chalkboard?
If you plan to leave chalk on your board for an extended period of time we recommend seasoning it before adding chalk – this prevents that ghosting effect when you erase. We wrote an article about it here. To clean the board using the dry method, simply wipe with a paper towel, cloth, or felt eraser. To wet erase it and get it back to that deep vibrant color, wipe down your board with water or a mild cleaner (we like Windex with vinegar) or we have an awesome plant-based, non-toxic cleaner here.
Can I write on your magnet boards?
Yes! Our magnet boards are designed for versatility:
- Chalkboards: Use traditional chalk for writing and drawing. However, please note that the porous surface is not compatible with wet-erase crayons or other non-porous-specific writing utensils. Be cautious with chalk markers, as they may stain the surface.
- Whiteboards: Use dry-erase markers or other wet-erase utensils with ease.
Always test any new writing tool on a small area first to ensure compatibility.
How do I hang my magnet board?
Each board comes with sawtooth hardware located on the back of the packaging, so be sure not to throw it away! Installing the hardware is quick and easy with just a screwdriver. The wood is soft enough for the screws to go in smoothly.
- For 17x21 boards: Use two sawtooth hangers. We recommend installing them about 2–3 inches in from each side at the top.
- For 12x12 or 15x15 boards: Measure to the centerline and install one sawtooth hanger.
Once installed, your board will be ready to hang securely and beautifully!
