Our Policies Do you guarantee that all items are in stock or back-order? Are there items that I can't return? When can I expect delivery of my package? What if I want my items shipped by mail instead of UPS? What happens if my card is declined? How much free insurance do I get from UPS? How do I file a claim in the case of damages? Why were my shipping costs different than what was shown in the cart? What is an "address correction" fee? What warranties do you offer on your items No, we cannot guarantee that all items are in stock, nor do we do back-orders. If an item is out of stock, then please visit us again to see when or if it is available. We charge a 20% restocking fee on all authorized returns. No refunds or returns on fragrances, waxes, special orders, or holiday/seasonal items. Shipping charges will not be refunded unless we ship an item in error. You must obtain an RMA number for proper processing and crediting of returns. You can obtain an RMA number by calling 423-623-5006. You will need your invoice number and the reason for the return to expedite processing of your request. We will credit your card upon receipt of the return provided the item is received back in re-saleable condition and/or with complete packaging if defective so that we can return it for credit from our vendors. Please ship your return in a traceable way, such as UPS or use Delivery Confirmation in returning via US Mail. Returns are not accepted after 15 days. You can easily track your purchase online once it has been shipped by using the order number provided in your order confirmation email. Visit our tracking page and simply enter your number to track your package. We cannot ship fragile items such as glass by mail and we reserve the right to change your preferred method of shipping based on the cost of the package or delicacy of the contents. The costs of shipping by mail as given in the cart are not complete: you will need to also figure in the cost of delivery confirmation, shipping insurance, and actual weight of the package. While the cart is fairly accurate in determining package weight, it cannot factor in issues such as packaging size and the inability to ship some items together. It is in our best interest as well as yours to ensure that you receive your order in the safest and most timely manner, and this may result in changes to freight method. We ship internationally by both UPS and US Mail. There is a currency exchange fee that may be assessed based on the total of the order, and final shipping costs will be determined once your order has been packaged and weighed. We reserve the right to refuse any international order bound for commonly considered "high-risk areas" (such as Nigeria) for credit card fraud. Due to the many different agencies involved and the inability to track a package when shipping international mail, we are not responsible for damaged or missing packages when shipped via US Mail. If your package should arrive damaged or is lost in transit, we will provide the documentation for you to make a claim with the postal service in your country. This does not apply to packages shipped via UPS. We value your privacy! Our newsletter is available by request only, and we will never sell or distribute your email address or other personal to marketing firms, spammers, or salespersons. We are far too stingy with our customers to share them with anyone! Your ordering and purchasing information given in good faith will likewise be held to be private and confidential. We do, however, cooperate with law enforcement personnel and other agencies in the case of proven or suspected fraud. We charge $5 for each declined credit card. Our merchant services charges us this fee, and we must pass this on to our customers. Insurance is provided by UPS free of charge for orders totaling $100. Insurance for orders over $100 will incur an additional charge that will not be reflected in the shopping cart. Orders sent by US Mail will also incur insurance charges not shown in the cart. Should you experience damages, you must notify UPS immediately. You will need to file a claim with UPS and may do so by calling 1-800-742-5877. If you claim is approved, you will be issued a refund within approx. four weeks. All packaging materials must be saved in order for a claim to be presented as proof of breakage and packaging must be presented to the carrier.

Customers responsible for errors in addresses will be charged a $5 per package address correction charge for ground shipments and $10 per package for air packages including 3 day select. Some items cannot be shipped together, and these orders will be broken up into separate packages. Additional freight charges and/or insurance may apply. We ship via UPS Monday through Friday with the exception of holidays. Orders may be shipped within 4 business days of placement, but usually go out within 2 business days. Selecting an air delivery option will not mean that your order will go out that same day.
