Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how Useless Stuff works.
What is Useless Stuff and how does it work?
+
Useless Stuff finally discovered AI's true calling - creating custom digital gifts! You pick a box, drop in some personalization, and… well, pay us. Then our hand-crafted, artisanal, bespoke prompts work their magic to generate hilarious, one-of-a-kind items for your enjoyment.
So, uh, why does this cost money?
+
Because AI models aren't cheap. We pay for the fanciest ones out there so your useless gifts come out as gloriously ridiculous as possible. All that cloud wizardry burns real money (even if it all feels like make-believe). So yes, it costs a few bucks to keep the AI gods satisfied and this top-shelf nonsense flowing.
Do I need an account to try it?
+
No accounts are needed! Once you place your order, our highly-trained, artisanal AI algorithms get to work crafting your useless gifts. When they're done, both you and the lucky recipient will get an email containing links to your one-of-a-kind, highly-sought-after items!
What is your refund and return policy?
+
Our full refund policy can be found here. Here are the highlights:
- All sales are final once delivered.
- We fix true errors with a free re-gen or partial refund (usually 50%).
- Request help within 7 days of delivery.
Can I edit or regenerate a gift after purchase?
+
Not yet! Once your useless masterpieces are born, they're kinda like children — you don't get do-overs. Generating images, sounds, and music costs us a surprising amount of coin, so for now each gift is one-and-done. That said, we're chatting with our AI model overlords to see if regenerating (without bankrupting us) might be possible in the future.
I'm a little worried about sharing personal details for the recipient. How do you handle that data?
+
Our full privacy policy can be found here. Here are some of the highlights:
We only use the personal details to conjure up your fabulous, one-of-a-kind nonsense. They hang out safely in our database until our overworked servers spin them into custom prompts, which we then beam over to our AI partners to generate the goods. Don't worry - we never share emails, just the tidbits needed to make the magic happen. And we definitely don't sell your data, market it, or hand it off to shady data dealers - because that would be super creepy (and, honestly, way too much effort for us!)
