Shipping Information:

We are currently shipping orders on the weekends of each week. (Both owners of this business are now back in Graduate school full time.)  There may occasionally be a day when we can ship during the week, but we've set aside our weekends for shipping orders for the business.  Orders received and confirmed by noon on Friday will be packed and shipped on our Saturday or Sunday shipping day.  An exception to this is an order placed by an expedited shipping method (i.e., UPS Next Day or Fedex Priority Overnight), in which case it will ship out asap....I'll come in at midnight and get it packed and shipped if I have to!  :)  If you absolutely need it in a day or two, use one of the above expedited shipping methods - and send us an email to ensure we know it's shipping via an expedited method.

All orders containing Nelsonite will only be shipped via UPS Ground, Fedex Ground, or USPS Parcel Post.  If an order is placed for Nelsonite and a different shipping carrier/method is selected, we won't be able to ship until the difference in shipping cost is paid.  We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we've been losing too much money in shipping costs lately from people selecting the incorrect shipping option and then people expecting us to cover the diffference. 

We strive to keep all items in stock at all times, but occasionally an item will run out of stock.  In the event that we run out of an item for your order, we will hold the order until the backordered items are restocked to save you additional shipping costs.  Generally, this only results in a delay of a few days to a week maximum.  If the delay is going to be longer than one week, we will ship all in stock items and refund you for the out of stock item.

All items are shipped FOB Origin.  Be sure to select insurance with your chosen delivery carrier in case of damage or loss during transit.  The buyer is responsible for filing claims for damaged goods.  We will assist you with any paperwork you may need in filing a claim.  While damage doesn't happen often, it can happen depending on how the carrier handles the box, so please select the insurance option, it's better to be safe than sorry!  Once the box leaves our facility, we no longer have any control over it and ownership is transferred to the buyer at that time.  While Fedex and UPS automatically cover packages for up to $100 in insurance, with the USPS, if there is a problem, and you did not select insurance on your package, you are unfortunately out of luck.  USPS does not cover any package without purchase of insurance.  So please always err on the side of caution and pay the aditional amount for insurance coverage.  Just to state it again, once the package is picked up or delivered to the shipping carrier, the ownership is transferred to the buyer, and we can not be held responsible for its transit and delivery.  Most people understand this, but we've had some people try to take advantage of us recently and we just can't emphasize this enough - it's important to have insurance on your package!   


Packaging Information:

All of the materials we carry are repackaged from bulk stock, so we can offer the smaller quantities for your convenience. We strive to package your order securely to provide adequate protection from even the most brutal of postal employees. Also, we try to recycle shipping boxes and packing materials whenever possible....it's good for the environment.


Return Policy:

No returns without prior approval.  All return items must have an RMA number issued by us authorizing the return.  Any authorized return other than for error on our part will be subject to a restocking fee of 20 percent.  All returns must be carefully packed in the original packaging and shipping cartons, with all shipping charges prepaid.
