General Information About Our Earrings: (Back to Top)

·        Our Earrings are lightweight and approximately 1/8" thick. The earrings are blank on the back.

·        Our jewelry is made of a light and sturdy ceramic-like plastic material. The items are decorated using dye ink then sprayed with a protective coating. The coating provides resistance from water during normal daily wear; however, we recommend that the item not be worn in the shower or the pool. Otherwise, you can wear the items and enjoy them.

·        Since they are individually made, the color, size, shape, outline and curvature of the jewelry may vary slightly.

Our earrings are available in fishhook, post or clip-on styles. Depending on the size of the earring, the post or clip-on earring may be slightly smaller than the fishhook style. Please allow an additional day for the assembly of post and clip-on styles.

Shipping & Returns

When do you ship? (Back to Top)

We ship your order on the next available business day (Monday through Saturday) once your payment is received and cleared.  We ship daily except Sundays and USPS (US Postal Service) holidays.  Special orders (like post or clip-on earrings) may require one additional day.

If you pay with an eCheck, it may take several days for your payment to clear, but we will send the items out on the next business day once the funds have cleared.

 

Do you combine shipping? (Back to Top)


Yes.  ebay will automatically add the weights of your purchases and calculate a combined shipping cost based on these weights. If you purchased multiple items separately within a short time and we are actually able to combine the shipment, we will refund part of the shipping charges manually via paypal.

 

 

 

What shipping options are available? (Back to Top)

 

We ship via the US Postal Service. For shipping within the U.S., the choices depend on the item purchased, but most smaller items have a choice of USPS First Class mail and USPS Priority mail. Larger items are sent via USPS Priority mail.

 

 

 

How long will shipping take? (Back to Top)

 

For shipping within the U.S., First Class mail generally takes between 2-5 days and Priority Mail between 2-3 days, depending on your location. See the “Shipping and Payments” Tab of the ebay listing for estimated delivery time.

 

 

 

How much is shipping? (Back to Top)

 

Shipping rates are included in each listing. See the “Shipping and Payments” Tab of the ebay listing for estimated delivery time.  For multiple items, ebay will automatically add the weights of your purchases and calculate a combined shipping cost based on these weights.

 

 

 

What is your return policy? (Back to Top)

We have a 14 Day Return Policy. You are buying handmade items online and things can be different than you expect.  Computer monitors don't always depict color as expected and individual items may differ slightly from what is pictured.  Whatever the reason, we are happy to accept returns for an exchange or refund (less shipping charges).   If for any reason you are not completely pleased with your order, contact us. Whatever the problem is, we will work to make sure you are happy. Your satisfaction is important to us.

 

How do I return or exchange a purchase? (Back to Top)

Returns and exchanges are easy. For return authorization, you must contact us within 14 days of receipt of your order. For exchanges within the U.S, we will ship your exchange back to you at no additional charge (shipping is not covered for international exchanges). 

Refunds will be given in form of original payment for purchase price only (shipping and insurance not refunded).  Package the return or exchange carefully so that it arrives safely.

Sometimes there are special circumstances.   Contact us, as we are happy to work with you. 

 

Can I check the shipping status of my order online? (Back to Top)

 

There is no tracking available for USPS First Class mail. If you have selected USPS Priority mail, you will receive a tracking number via email. One note: unfortunately, the USPS tracking information is not always as reliable or up to date as it could be.

 

 

Will you send the item to another address as a gift? (Back to Top)

 

If you email us at the time of purchase, we can send the item to a different address and include a Gift Note. In your email, please indicate what you to say in the Gift Note.

 

 

 

International Orders

 

Will you mark my international order as a gift? (Back to Top)

 

No. It is unlawful to falsify a customs form. We always mark the true value of your international order on the customs form and include a copy of the invoice for customs.  International orders may have additional Value Added Tax (VAT), duties, and/or other fees due.  We have no control over these fees and cannot predict if and what you may be charged.  These fees are the responsibility of the recipient and cannot be prepaid. Please contact your local Customs Authority for details.

 

 

 

Where is my international order? (Back to Top)

 

All international orders must go through the customs process of your country.  Depending on the regulations and workload of your country's Customs Authority, your shipment may be delayed for customs clearance.  Please contact your local Customs Authority for details.

 

 

 

Why can't I track my international order? (Back to Top)

 

International First Class mail is delivered through multiple carriers. Because of this, tracking is not available for International First Class mail.

 

 

Payment & Order

 

 

What forms of payment do you accept? (Back to Top)
