Help! I've just fucked up an expensive Father's Day card!

Funky Pigeon are SHIT.

I just found the perfect card for my dad. Spent AGES editing it and getting it right (or so I thought). Went through the checkout process and my order went through.

The card is so perfect for my dad that I ordered the A4 version, costing a few pence short of £10 including P&P to another European country (where my dad lives but I don't).

Because I'm a complete idiot, I forgot to edit a small but very important detail inside the card where you add a personal message. I realised the second the order was confirmed. After seaching, I found conflicting information on their OWN BLOODY WEBSITE as to whether they can cancel an order or not. In one section it says once an order has been confirmed it cannot be edited or cancelled, and in another section it says if you make a mistake to contact them but they can't guarantee cancellation if the order has been processed (sent for printing).

I could message them and hope they can cancel but I've left it too late to wait for a reply from FP and potentially re-order (estimated delivery date is next Saturday, so the day before Father's Day with obviously no post on the Sunday). I could pay another (nearly) tenner and be massively out of pocket BUT worse than that, my dad would receive two cards the same on the front but different inside which would totally take the shine off.

Even worse, I can't find ANY way to view from either my order confirmation email, or the app, or the desktop website what the inside of the card will actually look like. It's either an unmitigated disaster OR I might get away with it with a little explanation. IF I could see that I may get away with it, it wouldn't be worth trying to cancel.

TL;DR - is there a way to see inside a card once an order has been placed?

It's all automated so it's probably already in print stage, why you didn't contact them
Directly though over posting in here is beyond me
You need to take the hit on this and do another card if you are that bothered

I did explain in my OP why I didn't contact FP.

Anyway, card was received with a small error which my dad didn't really notice. I did phone and explain on Father's Day and we had a bit of a laugh about it. The main thing is he liked the card. The front was hilarious hence I paid for the A4 size to make more of a statement in our silliness as father and daughter.

It all ended well!
