Shipping policy


If you’ve ordered something that is “made to order” please allow 1-2 weeks for creating. You will receive a shipping notification as soon as it’s on it’s way to you. 

We do our best to ship all orders, with the exception of Tile sets, within 3-5 Business days of purchase.

Once an item is scanned into the USPS/UPS and is issued a tracking number, we have no control on how fast the service will get it to you. 

US Domestic Orders
All orders are shipped either USPS, or UPS we do not offer other shipping partnerships at this time. However, you do get to choose which method upon checkout.


International Orders

Please note that You, the Buyer are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand, and can’t give you an estimate of the cost, because it varies widely around the world. Please do your research so you’re ready to get your package cleared through customs and have an idea of what the additional cost will be. 

Furthermore, we can NOT alter customs forms to off-set pricing. This is illegal and violators are subject to fines of up to $10,000usd

********PLEASE NOTE************
Once a package is scanned into USPS/UPS/Asendia it is no longer deemed our property, the responsibility is transferred to You, the Buyer. 


It is up to the buyer to make sure the shipping address is accurate and correct as we have no control over shipping methods, routes or customs. You will receive a tracking number to which you can keep updated on the progress of the package. In the event you do not receive your item, please first check the tracking and with your local post office. Some items may be delayed due to customs or proximity of location in your, town, city or country. If an item is held at customs, again this is not our responsibility it is up to you as the buyer to make sure the items being ordered are allowed in your country.

No refunds will be given for lost packages that have been scanned and are trackable. If an item is deemed lost contact USPS to file a claim.

 

UPDATES to International Shipping as of 12/4/2024

EUROPEAN UNION: As of December 13th 2024 we are unable to ship certain items abroad due to the new GPSR regulations.  We are an extremely small business, and do not have the ability to employ 3rd party services to test out all of our products. The cost to ROI will not add up.  We apologize for the inconvenience.  If you wish to purchase an item from our shop, you may need to use a forwarding service. 

GERMANY: Due to changes in international laws and import policies, we will be unable to ship to Germany as of January 1st 2024.  We do not do the volume of orders to justify the registration and filing costs for the proper permits. We apologize for this inconvenience. 

UNITED KINGDOM: We have NOT been able to obtain a VAT number so we are unable to comply with the changing laws export tax laws. If you wish to purchase something from our shop, please know that you, the buyer are responsible for ALL VAT  incurred upon package arrivals.  

MEXICO: As of January 2025 due to the new Tax Regulations (RFC) you MUST include your tax number with your order to ensure proper delivery. 

Please note, We are a very small business and unfortunately do not have the same resources as larger corporations to be able to get certificates or obtain tax compliances.  The potential fines outweigh the amount we would make on a sale. Making it not cost effective from a business standpoint.  We appreciate your understanding.

Truths about Free Shipping

Hidden costs of “Free Shipping”.  

Free shipping is NEVER free.
As someone who has sold online for years and was forced to compete with the likes of big box companies like Amazon, it’s impossible to keep up— small businesses can not navigate that lane without incurring loss.

Whenever you see something with “Free Shipping”, more often than not, the price has been inflated so that you think you’re getting it for free. It’s a psychological trick.  Being an Etsy seller for years, they encouraged sellers to offer a “Free Shipping Guarantee”  in exchange for prime placement in their search engine.  (This is all publicly searchable in their forums and Etsy policies).  We were reluctant to sign up for it because our items are on the heavier side.  Yet we noticed that our items weren’t being seen, so we signed up for the guarantee... What this meant was we raised our prices across the board on Etsy to make up for the difference.  So the consumer was still paying for the shipping it was just factored across the listings. 

We made the decision to lower our prices, here on Shopify, so that you would pay fair shipping costs based on item weight and to your location. There are still times when we, the sellers, have to pay an extra dollar or two because the shipping rate calculator is not infallible and the weights don’t add up correctly until the box is packaged and on it’s way to you.  This is the cost of shipping and online business.  

With all this being said, we are so grateful you are here and choose to support a small business.
