Between November 23rd and December 24, 2012 we are offering FREE Standard Shipping
within the US on orders (unlimited items) totalling more than $50. Standard shipping is US Postal First Class Delivery
and is only valid within the United States. Expedited shipping is available for an
additional charge (calculated on checkout).
We normally ship within 1-2 business days after the order payment is received and verified.
(Note: Google Checkout customers may find it takes several days for Google to verify payment). Large orders or orders with custom work may require additional
processing time. Checks sent in through the mail require a 3-4 week holding period to allow the check to clear..
Special instruction Delivery messages such as "Leave on the porch behind the flower pot"
or "put inside door if not home" will NOT be honored. The postal delivery agencies (US Postal, FedEx, etc) will not
follow these instructions. If there are any issues with your order, we will attempt to contact you via the email
address listed on the order. Please make sure we can respond to this email address, i.e., that it is a valid
email address and that spam filters will not reject the message. If no response is received
regarding an open issue within a reasonable time frame, we will cancel the order. Modifications to an order can
be made before shipment, however, all modifications must be received in writing (via email) from the email address
listed on the order.
We will declare a USPS First Class package lost if it has not been received
in 30 days within the Continental US and 45 days outside the Continental US (Hawaii, Alaska, etc).
Orders deemed excessively
risky will ONLY be shipped to the billing address listed on the order. Orders may be subject to
verification, which could delay delivery. Large/high dollar orders and overnight/rush orders will only be shipped to the billing address.
PayPal is very restrictive as to what information it will share with
Merchants, therefore we may require shipment to the PayPal Confirmed Address.
We only display items we have in stock. However, sometimes an item in large demand may be on backorder. If this is the case, we will notify you immediately.
We will exchange the item
or refund the purchase price of the item (less shipping charges,
gift wrapping, and custom order fees) if received by us, in UNWORN, UNDAMAGED, resellable condition in the
original packaging within 30 days of your receipt. Tags may be attached to some items. If the
tag is removed or modified in any manner, the item will not be accepted for return. Damaged or visibly worn items
cannot be accepted for return. Additional restocking
fees will be assessed if the packaging (jewelry boxes, etc) are missing, damaged or unusable. We
are a "new jewelry" website so we expect them to come back looking "new". Item(s) returned outside
the WARRANTY PERIOD are NOT accepted. Basically, we require the
item(s) be returned to us in exactly the same condition sent to you. Postage is non-refundable.
We REQUIRE we be notified of defective items within TWO DAYS of delivery of the order.
Return shipping on exchanges is billed at current rates.
Please package your returns well! We are not responsible for items damaged or
lost in transit. We require you provide proof of delivery (delivery confirmation) should a dispute arise as to whether you have returned
an item. (We suggest re-using the bubble mailer by taping over the shipping label). Please send Exchanges or Returns with
copy of the Packing Slip to: Newage Enterprises, c/o Returns, P.O. Box 14492, Tumwater, WA 98511-4492.
Refunds are normally processed within 7-10 business days and can only
be issued back to the original payment method. For instance, credit card refunds will be refunded back only to the
credit card used for the purchase. If we are unable to issue a credit via the original payment method, the
return can only be used for an in-store credit.
Bad Address/Refused/Unclaimed: If a package is returned to us for any reason, we will make an attempt to
contact you via the email address listed on the order. Once you respond, your package can be shipped back to you
at your specific direction and shipping will be re-billed. Since there has been a shipping problem, we require re-shipment to the billing
address listed on the form of payment. If it is still within our return period, you may choose to have your purchase(s)
processed as a return. Shipping charges are non-refundable. If we do not receive a response from you within 7
business days, we will assumed the package is abandoned and return the goods to stock. Please note that
unclaimed packages will not be refunded once restocked.
