FAQs
Does Cricut offer free shipping?
Yes! Cricut offers free standard economy shipping on all orders over $50. Most orders ship within 1-3 business days, and you will receive tracking information once it leaves the warehouse.
What is the Cricut warranty policy?
All new Cricut cutting machines, heat presses, and corded devices come with a 1-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship.
However, this warranty does not cover consumable crafting materials or accessories, such as vinyl rolls, transfer tape, replacement blades, and cutting mats, as these are intended for single or limited use.
What is the Cricut return policy?
If you purchase physical items directly from the official Cricut website, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return them for a refund, provided the items are in new, unused condition with all original packaging and manuals included.
Do I need a subscription to use my Cricut machine?
No. You do not need to pay a monthly fee to use a Cricut. The Cricut Design Space software required to use your machine is completely free to download and use. You can upload your own designs and fonts at no cost.
However, Cricut offers an optional paid subscription, Cricut Access, starting at $9.99/month. This membership unlocks over a million premium images, thousands of fonts, exclusive software features, and gives you a 10% discount on purchases made on Cricut.com.
Which Cricut can engrave metal?
The Cricut Maker and the Cricut Maker 3 are the only machines that support designs for metal engraving. First, though, you need to purchase the Cricut Engraving Tip before you can engrave metal.
Can Cricut cut felt?
Absolutely, Cricut machines can cut felt, but how well it depends entirely on the type of felt you use, the blade you use and the machine you own.
You should use the Cricut Rotary Blade. Because the Rotary Blade rolls across the fabric like a pizza cutter instead of dragging through it, it won't pull, stretch, or warp the felt fibres.
Do Cricuts print stickers?
Technically, no, Cricut machines themselves cannot print anything because they do not use ink or toner. However, you can absolutely make custom, full-color stickers using your Cricut with a standard home printer via a feature called Print Then Cut. Instead of printing the colors itself, the Cricut acts as a highly precise, automated pair of scissors.
Cricut Saving Tips
Subscribe to Cricut Access: If you frequently buy materials or are eyeing up a new machine, the Cricut Access subscription may be a good idea for you. Subscribers automatically receive 10% off all purchases made on Cricut.com, including cutting machines and heat presses. Also, subscribers receive a unique $10 coupon code every three months, to use toward materials and accessories, which also includes free shipping.
Always Buy a Machine Bundle: If you are purchasing a brand-new cutting machine, avoid buying the machine on its own if you can. Cricut often offers Essentials Bundles or Everything Bundles on their site. These bundles package the machine with extra cutting mats, tools, and a variety of starter materials , like vinyl, iron-on, and transfer tape, at a discounted price compared to buying each item individually.
Shop the Sale Page: Because Cricut frequently updates its material colors, patterns, and product packaging, they update the Clearance tab on their website quite often. This is the best place to find big discounts on materials, specialty iron-on vinyl, infusible ink transfer sheets, and older customizable blanks like tote bags and mugs.
Sign Up for the Email Newsletter: As always, if you are a first-time customer, signing up for the official Cricut email newsletter is a quick way to score a welcome discount and savings. After you enter your email address, you will may receive a promo code for a percentage off your first order, plus access to exclusive flash sales and pricing.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to ensure they work as intended before being uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
