Currently I ship jewelry to US addresses and some countries. Contact me regarding international shipping. Determination at this time will be made on a country to country basis for countries not listed and a shipping quote can be provided.

{Shipping Methods}



I wish it were possible to teleport your items to you. Unfortunately, that technology hasn't been invented, yet. (Note to self--work on teleportation device.)



I ship via USPS First Class. Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express are available for an additional charge. (cause you know, it's good to have options). Delivery confirmation (Tracking) is always included, insurance is not but can be purchased for an additional fee. You can get your stuff shipped UPS/Fed Ex if you want, however there may be additional shipping charges depending on how much the shipping is on UPS/Fed Ex.





DELIVERY ISSUES



If the USPS delivery confirmation system says your package was delivered, but you did not receive it, please contact your post office or postal carrier as they will be best able to help you track down your parcel faster. I am also happy to try to help you figure out what happened in anyway I can.





Shipping Speeds and Rates for US addresses:

**USPS First Class - 3 to 5 business days. Delivery time not guaranteed by USPS and therefore I cannot guarantee this timeframe either. That said, mail shipped first class typically arrives in 3-5 business days to US addresses.



**USPS Priority Mail - 2 to 5 business days. Again, delivery time not guaranteed by USPS and therefore I cannot guarantee this timeframe either. That said, mail shipped priority mail typically arrives in 2-5 business days. During the Christmas shipping season is where you will see the most difference in speed versus first class.



**USPS Priority Mail Express - 1 to 2 business days. This is the only shipping speed guaranteed by the US Postal Service. Depending on where you live, your item will arrive next day or two day (no delivery on Sundays or Holidays). I will send you a convo with expected delivery after I have taken your item to the post office and received a delivery time from them for this shipping option.





If you want your item shipped UPS/FedEx, contact me for a quote.

{Insurance}



It would be great if I could control the universe, really, it would. For starters, clouds would be made of cotton candy and every day would be Saturday!!!!! Unfortunately, my phenomenal cosmic power is out of warranty, so I have no control over what happens to your package after it leaves my hands. You however can prepare for that rainy day if you want to...



Insurance on your jewelry is your responsibility and is optional. I really and truly cannot control the Universe, really, and thereby am not responsible for damages incurred during shipping or for lost or stolen packages. Insurance will be charged at the current USPS insurance rate.

{Handling Times}



I am as excited as you are to get your really awesome jewelry into your hands. I mean come on, it's really cool and you want it now. I will do my best to make it happen for you.



I send ready to ship jewelry within 3 business days of receipt of payment, so the sooner you send green, the sooner I ship your new stuff. I'll even send you an email or convo when I have shipped your stuff. If the Universe conspires against me and there will be a delay, I will contact you.



Made to order items will take longer, depending on fabrications times. I will convo you through the process with an expected ship date.



_______________________________________

{Cancellations}



I do not accept cancellations. Once your jewelry order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled even by me. (I mean really, have you ever tried to climb through those little mail slots? It is not a pretty sight and should not be done.)

{Shipping Address}



Hey, I like you, and like to try to help out the people I like. For your protection I ship to the address listed on your Etsy account. If you want your item shipped to a different address, make the change to your account before purchase.



I know you want to make sure you get your jewelry, so to avoid loss due to misdelivery, please be certain the address on your Etsy account is correct before you order. Correct addressing is the responsibility of the customer and as such, so is a mis-delivered item due to an incorrectly addressed package.



If your package gets returned to me as unclaimed I'll contact you for further information. I will gladly reship your jewelry order for an additional shipping fee. Unfortunately, I am unable to refund for unclaimed purchases.

{International Shipping}



International shipping varies based on local customs regulations. Please contact me if you don't see your country listed.



The international shipping fees I charge cover the cost of shipping and packing supplies. It does NOT cover any customs or VAT fees or other duties. These are the responsibility of the buyer. Items returned due to customer refusal to pay these fees or duties will not be eligible for a refund.



Due to postage requirements of various countries, quite often the shipping fees don't even cover the cost of shipping and I pay for the additional shipping cost for you.



It is the responsibility of the purchaser to be familiar with their country's import regulations and adherence to said regulations. If your country does not allow importation of certain materials such as precious metals or gemstones, I am not responsible for this. If jewelry is confiscated by purchaser's governmental agencies/regulations including but not limited to customs, this is the responsibility of the purchaser and will not constitute a reason for cancellation, replacement or refund. As stated before, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to be knowledgeable of their country's regulations and compliance with those regulations.



Shipping Speeds and Rates for International Packages:

**USPS First Class International - 4 to 6 weeks. Delivery time not guaranteed by USPS and therefore I cannot guarantee this timeframe either.



**USPS Priority Mail International - 6 to 10 business days. Again, delivery time not guaranteed by USPS and therefore I cannot guarantee this timeframe either.



**USPS Priority Mail Express International - 3 to 5 business days. And yet again, delivery time not guaranteed by USPS and therefore I cannot guarantee this timeframe either.



International Customers: Purchasing insurance for order worth more than $50.00 is recommended. I am NOT responsible for lost uninsured packages.



Unfortunately, tracking is unavailable to some international countries. I can provide proof of shipping, but once it leaves the USA, I cannot be held responsible for delay or undelivered packages



Delivery Confirmation is included for First-Class International and Priority Mail

International Flat Rate Envelope & Small Flat Rate Box package types going to the following countries ONLY:



Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain.

{Doing Our Part}



I love this planet...I really do. I try to do my part to keep it pretty. As part of that effort to encourage sustainability, I recycle packing and shipping materials when shipping your jewelry whenever possible.
