MINIMUM ORDER We do not require a minimum order. However, you may find that shipping charges tend to be proportionately high on very small orders.
TERMS OF SALE All orders must be paid in full prior to shipping. We do not ship COD. Payment in US funds may be made with Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, money order, or cashier’s check. Personal or business checks received will be subject to a 10-business-day hold until payment clears the bank. Checks returned for non-sufficient funds will incur a $20.00 service charge in addition to applicable bank fees. We do NOT ship outside the US, unless by special arrangement. Due to very high shipping rates, it is not feasible for us to ship outside the US. Orders placed with non-US addresses will be cancelled. If you are outside the US and would like to place an order, contact us with what you would like and we will get you a quote. If you are ok with paying the high shipping and customs fees, we will happily ship to you.
DECLINED PAYMENTS The website will not allow an order to be placed if your credit card is declined. If you are placing an order via phone or mail, you will be notified by phone and/or e-mail if your payment has been declined.
SHIPPING Shipping charges are added to the order total and are based on weight and distance from our warehouse in Lakeside, MT. Shipping options and estimated rates are quoted for comparison before and during checkout online. UPS is our preferred shipper, however we reserve the right to choose another carrier if necessary. We offer standard UPS Ground and expedited shipping via UPS and FedEx at residential rates, as well as USPS Priority Mail. Please allow 1 to 6 business days for ground transit. 1, 2, or 3-day shipping options will not decrease the order processing time, but offer expedited delivery once the order has left our warehouse. Orders to Hawaii, Alaska and APO/FPO addresses are shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
Free Shipping Free UPS Ground shipping, on qualifying products, is offered on orders over $100.00 that are shipped within the 48 contiguous United States. The qualifying order total is the subtotal of all products purchased before any sales taxes, if applicable, or shipping charges are applied. Wax, Additives, Soap base, and 4-gallon bath & body bases are not eligible for free shipping. The price of these items, however, is included toward the qualifying order total, and all other items in the order will ship for free.
ADDRESS CORRECTION FEES Packages are sent to the "Ship To" address provided when the order is submitted. If the address is incorrect, please notify us as soon as possible so the correction can be made before the package is shipped, since a $5.00 address correction fee is charged by the shipping carrier (UPS, etc.). If the carrier-corrected address is different than the "Ship To" information provided to us, the customer will be charged for the fee.
DAMAGES Do not accept damaged packages from the carrier! All orders leave our warehouse carefully packaged and sealed, and the carrier is responsible for merchandise while in transit. If a package arrives damaged, the receiving customer must file a claim with the carrier within 10 days. If you have accepted the delivery, be sure to keep ALL packaging materials and contents for inspection by the carrier. Notify us as soon as possible if you need assistance with your claims.
BACKORDERS Items temporarily out of stock will NOT be placed on backorder. We will try to indicate on your invoice when the item(s) are expected to be available for reorder. While every attempt is made to ensure sufficient stock on all products, we cannot guarantee availability.
RETURNS Unused merchandise in original packaging, (excluding fragrance oils, liquid soap dyes, soap and bath and body supplies), may be returned within 30 days. If items are returned because of defect or error on our part, the items will be replaced or credited without incurring the restocking fee. Orders that are refused upon delivery by the customer, and returned by the carrier, will be subject to return shipping charges and restocking fees. Refunds will be issued in the same form as original payment.
Fragrance oils can not be returned. If you are unsure if you will like the fragrance, or if it will work in your application, please order the 1 oz Sample Size and test first. Bath and body bases, and soap bases can only be returned if they are unopened, and the seals have not been broken. Due to sanitary issues, we can not accept returns in any other condition.
