Shipping Domestic Orders……we ship USPS Priority Mail Service (insured at customers request only), & USPS Registered Mail. Only if necessary, will we use Fed Ex or UPS. Our USA flat rate S/H posted in our ads is for up to 60 pound only shipping weight (items can be combined under this flat rate at no extra charge). Larger items flat rate is $13 (medium box) for up to 60 pounds, and $17 (large box) for up to 60 pounds as well. Some items S/H rate will differ from our standard flat rate due to irregular size items that will not fit in our standard flat rate box and will require an odd size packaging (non-flat rate Priority Mail Service boxes).

We accept the following forms of payment for Domestic Orders…..

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:

Shipping International Orders……

- We ship Standard USPS Flat Rate International Priority Mail Service (uninsured w/ no tracking), as this is the cheapest besides 1st Class Mail Service which is less secure.

- Non-flat rate USPS Insured International Priority Mail (indemnity limited with country), USPS Insured Registered Mail Service (indemnity limited with country).

- USPS Insured Express Mail Service for more secure and faster shipments. These latter shipment methods will cost more than the standard international flat rate mentioned above.

- Some countries we do not ship to, so contact us for rates or delivery destinations accepted. -

**We are absolutely NOT responsible for any fees levied upon you or that you incur from your countries Custom Service, as this is your responsibility to know your own countries Custom Declarations and Policies. We ship within policies of our countries Customs Policies and what is available to us of your countries Standard Custom Declarations and Policies (other words, what is allowed and not allowed)**


We accept the following forms of payment for International Orders…..

PayPal

- All International Orders must be paid through valid Instant PayPal Payment ONLY, absolutely no exceptions! This means NO PayPal eChecks, Money Orders, or Checks. If payment is not received by us within 3 days (Monday - Sunday, including holidays) after invoicing…..order will be cancelled without prior consent given for longer delay in payment.


**We will hold an order for 3 days max for combining purposes for existing customers only, but with our approval first, but must be paid on the 4th day or order will be cancelled**


RETURN POLICY:

Our return policy is very simple.....If you are not satisfied with your purchase; just contact us within 7 days (Monday - Sunday) immediately after receipt of your order for a RA# (Return Authorization Number), then securely package it and return it (we do recommend having it insured). Once we receive the item in good condition (it will be inspected), we will refund your monies back (minus S/H). We do not accept returns made on cut stones that have been mounted or attempted to be mounted in a setting by a jeweler or alike. The reason we do not accept these returns under those conditions is.....We do not know if the jeweler or alike has applied heat to the setting for mounting purposes, used undue stress on the stone w/combination of heat applied to cause internal damage, or even returned the same stone given to them by you. By a jeweler applying heat to a setting and undue stress to the stone for mounting purposes can possibly change the color, clarity, and strength of a stone from the heat application and undue stress, some stones being less or more acceptable to these conditions than others. Also, it is possible that the stone could be scratched (blemishes) or chipped while being handled. We give the exact dimensions of the cut stone being purchased, and we highly recommend that you check with your jeweler or alike first for the correct dimensions in regards for mounting prior to purchasing. This policy also applies to any form of enhancement of gem rough, gem carvings, and jewelry purchased as well. We will not accept any returns on any gem rough, gem carvings, jewelry, or pre-cut gemstones that have been enhanced in any manner. All jewelers, jewelry stores, and trade dealers have the same policy. Thank you!
