Sales Policies & FAQs

Shipping & Delivery

We ship all items USPS or UPS within and outside of the United States. Shipping prices are weight based. We are not responsible for uninsured packages. You may include insurance as an option to your shipping method during checkout.  All orders placed during the weekend or on a public holiday will be processed on the next business day.  Although we most often ship the same day orders are received, we guarantee shipment with 72 hours of receipt of order and/or payment. We ship during business hours 10am to 5pm Pacific Standard Time Monday through Friday. We do not ship on weekends.

International Orders

We are glad to take overseas orders to most countries. We accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Your package may be subject to import duties and taxes. You as the customer, are responsible for paying those fees. We recommend that you check with your local customs office before placing an order on our website as these fees can sometimes be significant and we are unable to calculate these for you. Customs declarations will be filled out accurately as required by U.S. law.  We do not falsify any customs information or values. We value our international customers and will work with you to get the best possible safe shipping rates.

We insure all international parcels. USPS International is the most economical way to ship but the tracking is minimal.  If you want your order to be fully tracked, please select Priority Mail International, UPS or DHL Those options are available at checkout.  We insure all international packages. 

Expedited Orders

We normally process and ship orders in the order received. If your package cannot wait to ship and needs to get out immediately, please email or telephone us for expedited shipping and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Tracking Your Order

Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you a confirmation email with tracking information. You will be able to track your package directly on the carrier’s website. US Postal Service international shipments are first sent to a local hub in the United States.  USPS tracking is concluded at this point.  Risk of loss with respect to the products in your order is transferred from Earthly Adornments to you when your order is delivered to you. This does not affect our returns policy, below.

Quantity Discounts

Much of our bead collection is the result of many hours in closeout warehouses, yard sales, antique markets, antique stores and acquisitions of dealer collections. Some of our beads are unused vintage stock, also purchased more than 30 years ago. As a result, quantities of many of our vintage beads are very limited -- and we feel that those beads are special and rare because we can't replace them once they are sold. Given the time invested in seeking them out over the years and given that they are irreplaceable, we do not offer quantity discounts on vintage stock; however, we will negotiate quantity discounts on some new stock that can be reordered. Feel free to contact us.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about any of the pieces you see -- or if you are looking for something specific - not all of our collection is currently online. We have a large collection of vintage jewelry, beads and components that we have not listed-- so please don't hesitate to email us if you’re looking for something specific.
