Shipping and a bit on refunds and payment

Refer to the "Refunds" page and the "Order Form" page for current information.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone know what our requirements are and that we do not include a handling charge to make money only, to cover costs. Plastic bags, bubble wrap, boxes, wrapping paper, tape, and other misc. add ons mean if we do not charge a nominal fee we will lose money. Currently we only charge $2.00 on handling on all Domestic shipments and $2.00 on International. If possible we ship at a flat rate of $5.55 within the U.S. and $8.50 Internationally. This includes our handling fee. We can do this only if the item will fit a Tyvek envelope of 11 x 13 inches and is no more than 1 inch thick and is under 10 ounces. Anything over these limits will need to be calculated for shipping charges based on size, weight and destination. We only charge actual USPS charges plus Handling fee if over our minimum.

All sales are currently conducted via e-mail as we do not have a checkout service and so long as things are manageable we will not use a check out service. You must email me with the item you desire including your name, full address and country. I will email you a total cost including shipping, You will then send payment in one of the forms accepted and email me letting me know payment is on the way. I will place the item on hold for 14 days awaiting payment. Any backup offers will be taken first come first served. I will wait the full 14 days. If you do not contact me or say you did not send payment as you stated you would, the item will be sold to the next in line if there are backup offers or relisted if not. Anyone failing to follow through on a transaction will be placed on a list of those we will not sell to. Your information will be placed in our database and if it pops up as a blocked account we will not sell to you in the future. This is just like eBays blocked bidder list except we keep the list and cross check all orders against it.

We offer a FULL refund on "wrong item sent" only. We do offer a refund on the purchase price of the ITEM ONLY "no S&H will be refunded" if the size is wrong or you just do not like the item. We are not going to make you keep an item you do not want, BUT we will only refund the cost of the item, NOT the shipping as we are not here to lose money either. We are not a free rental agency, and so there are restrictions on refunds that you MUST comply with in order to receive one. Buy insurance to cover damage if it is a concern. We suggest you check measurements carefully and purchase USPS insurance if you are not willing to sustain a loss due to the mishandling of the USPS. To receive a refund for an item you did not order you must email me within 24 hours of receipt of the wrong item. State what you ordered and what you received use item #'s as well as descriptions. You must pay to ship the item back to us in the original box or envelope placing it inside another if the original is unusable. When we receive the item and verify it is the wrong item we will try to find and ship to you the correct item and refund your shipping cost to ship the wrong item to us. If we cannot locate the correct item we will refund to you all costs you incurred for shipping and the purchase price of the item. Should we find the item at a later date we reserve the right to offer it to you at the original price and shipping or to relist the item for sale at our discretion.

Refunds

We will accept refunds on all purchases if you abide by our restrictions as outlined below.

1. We will only pay the total of the item and all shipping if we have sent you the wrong item. To receive a refund for an item you did not order you must email me within 24 hours of receipt of the wrong item. State what you ordered and what you received use item #'s as well as descriptions. You must pay to ship the item back to us in the original box or envelope placing it inside another if the original is unusable. When we receive the item and verify it is the wrong item we will try to find and ship to you the correct item and refund your shipping cost to ship the wrong item to us. If we cannot locate the correct item we will refund to you all costs you incurred for shipping and the purchase price of the item. Should we find the item at a later date we reserve the right to offer it to you at the original price and shipping or to relist the item for sale at our discretion.

2. If you choose to return an item for any other reason, you must contact us via email within 24 hours of receipt of the item (the time stamp on the email will be proof of attempted contact) and it must be postmarked as returned within 48 hours of your receipt of the item. It must be returned Priority Mail and must include insurance. We will not refund on damaged items, see #4. We generally have USPS confirmation included on all items we ship so we know when you received an item.

3. If you do NOT qualify under item 1 (wrong item sent) you must pay for return shipping and insurance, and our refund will be for the purchase price of the item only. We will not include any shipping or insurance costs in our refund. The ITEM purchase price only. We do not refund any S&H fees, customs fees, currency conversion fees nor Paypal fees.

4. The item must be received by us in the same condition as when we shipped it. If not then your claim should be with USPS for damage in shipment if you purchased insurance and if you did not you are left with no options as we will not refund on damaged merchandise. If the item is damaged on the return trip to us you should have bought insurance as stated in #3 and we will attempt to collect on the damaged goods. If we are unable to collect for any reason we will not send a refund. If we do collect we will refund that portion that we collect over costs incurred " note we charge $5.00 handling fee to recover for damaged goods if insured" you will not receive a total refund on an item damaged on the retuned to us leg of the journey. We will NOT refund S&H on either leg of the shipping.

Most often S&H is under $5.00 on most intimates as they do not weigh much. If there is no damage and you paid more than the shipping costs it may be in your interest to return the item. Even though you will lose the S&H. The choice is entirely yours but unless it is our fault, in that we sent you the wrong item we will not refund S&H, so returning an item will cost you. Also we encourage you to send the amount necessary to insure the item if you are not willing to sustain a loss due to USPS mishandling. If you return a damaged Item to us we will not refund any of the amount. If you return an item and it is damaged in transit to us we require you to have paid for insurance and then we will only refund that which is over and above our costs, "note we charge a $5.00 handling fee to recover for damaged goods if insured". We will not refund S&H fees.

I know I've repeated myself but it is to stress that we will not refund S&H fees and that we will Not refund for Damaged items and that if damaged on the return trip we have no way of knowing this to be the case and so charge a fee for collecting on damaged returns if insured. Also USPS has requirements on shipping that must be met in order to collect on insured items. If your return does not meet those requirements and we can not collect then there will be no refund.

I do not want to dissuade the honest from retuning an item that does not fit or is not what you expected as most often the cost is minimal but to those who would think of making money off us in the return of an item know that it will cost you, not us, to make the return.

You may pay using PayPal which allows you to use credit cards or e-checks. International is Paypal only. Domestic have the option of USPS Money Order or PAYPAL with a mandatory 14 day waiting period for the M.O. to clear before we ship the item.

Remember communication is key to a successful transaction and I highly recommend you keep in touch and acknowledge all my emails.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to email me.

We have also begun to add considerable to the Other Clothing page as we have decided to list rather than dump on charity all but Lingerie. We only keep the best which assures that you will receive the quality you expect.

Thank you,

Tami

A MUST Read if you intend on Purchasing an Item.

and Credit Cards through Paypal.

WE do NOT accept Personal Checks.

PayPal only on International sales.

All payment methods must be verified as having been transferred to our account before we ship.
PayPal is almost instant verification whereas M.O.'s are held 2 weeks or more.

This is the procedure for orders and how it should work.

Domestic and International

When you have decided on the purchase or purchases you want to make send me an e-mail listing the item number(s) along with your Name, Address, including City, State and Zip Code or if International include Country and Postal Zone. All orders are taken on a first come first served basis. We combine shipping whenever possible.

I will email you back with a total including shipping and handling for the various shipping methods we offer for the particular item or items you are ordering and the cost of optional USPS insurance based on the value of your purchase. Be sure to check and make sure the item number(s) I have calculated are the same as those you ordered. Be absolutely sure the item numbers match. Also be aware that insurance through USPS only covers the value of the item not the shipping. All items are first come first served. The first to return confirmation email, including preferred shipping and PayPal payment or notice that payment will be made by USPS Money Order will be the person for whom we shall place up to a 14 day hold on the item.
Domestic

The minimum shipping cost, not including insurance, is $5.55; under one pound.

Lingerie most often is under a pound and sent USPS 1^st Class Mail up to 10 ounces and Priority, 10 ounces to 1 pound. At our discretion.

Rates over 1 pound will be actual USPS charges plus $2.00 handling plus optional insurance should you choose to insure the purchase through USPS for loss or damage.

You will have the option of Priority or 1st class and/or Parcel Post.

International

The minimum on International shipping is $8.50 U.S. All prices and payments are U.S. $ Only.

Lingerie most often will ship at this rate if sent Air Letter Post in a Tyvek envelope. No insurance is available on Air Letter Post. The name is now changed to 1st class international

All rates are calculated based on weight, size, method of shipment, and destination.

Shipping will be a minimum of $8.50 Air Letter Post or actual USPS charges plus $2.00 handling if costs exceed $6.50 U.S. . Optional insurance should you choose to insure the purchase through USPS for loss or damage is extra. Keep in mind that Air Letter Post and Global Priority do not offer insurance. Air Parcel does offer insurance but is slower delivery and more expensive. We will not ship ground on International, as it takes too long. You will be given at least 2 shipping options for most items.

Domestic and International

You choose the shipping method that best suits your needs based on price, time in transit and optional insurance and email me with your decision and method of payment. Include the item numbers. Also state if your payment includes the amount required for optional insurance. Remember International insurance is only available on Air Parcel Post. Until I receive this email the item is still up for sale on a first come basis. The 14 day clock starts with this e-mail.
Mail your USPS Money Order or use Paypal for instant payment. We ONLY accept Paypal on International orders. We DO NOT accept Personal checks. We will place your item or items as PENDING for 14 days as we await payment. If your payment does not arrive in 14 days the item will be relisted as AVAILABLE.

See the refund policy page for more info on refunds
We try to provide 100% satisfaction in every purchase and will do our best to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase and our service. But you have to take some responsibility in your role as buyer as well.

Communication is key and you need to ensure we have the correct information to complete the sale.

If using a P.O. Box you need to ensure they will accept shipments as returned items for failure to accept, failure to sign if necessary, incorrect ship to addresses and other reasons, will require you pay for additional shipping to resend the item. You need to read the listing and be sure the measurements are size appropriate, as though we refund for sizing issues we do not refund S&H and associated fees. Only the purchase price of the item itself. We try to write honest informed descriptions including what we feel appropriate to the listing including measurements. We will disclose any and all information we have on every listing, including any defects we find. Your trust is of major importance to us as we wish you to return.

If you feel you need additional information please do not hesitate to email me.

" Visit us on Ebay under the names Tamicraft, Tamidesign and Cobblecreeklodge Other sites we have that may hold some interest for you? www.tamicraft.com Tamicraft A site originally intended to be a place to sell our crafts, embroidery and quilting but has since been turned into a place to post articles and show off your crafts. We no longer sell off the site but instead offer an opportunity for you to post your crafts and articles with links back to your site as well as provide information on a wide variety of subjects. www.cpfsn.org Cerebral Palsy Family Support Network A site devoted to providing information on Cerebral Palsy and places to get information of your rights as regards disabilities, the school system (IEP, 504 plan and special needs) as well as local contacts of advocacy sites that will help you to negotiate the system and get the necessary care and services for your child with Cerebral Palsy. We post your articles and have a Forum to talk with others to help each other. We also post our story and our continuing fight for our child's needs in hopes that others may learn from our experiences. If you have CP or know of someone who does have them go to the www.cpfsn.org site and have them send their stories to post or links to places where others can find useful information. You'd be helping them, me and other people with disabilities. We will never voluntarily sell or give out your name, address, email address or any other information we may collect unless required to do so by Court Order. Though we will not be responsible if the information is stolen. But to reassure you we only file your name the item you purchased and the amount of the purchase. We have to do this for tax purposes. Nothing else is kept on record after the sale. I apologize if the information was repeated but Google looks at tables first come, and uses that information in their page listing. This means I must place a snippet of information in the first table, it will be repeated in the 2nd. Also I would love to be able to place a Buy Now button on every item but we never know what shipping will be and hubby says oscommerce is above his ability as it is written in .php and then there is having to place hundreds of items we've already listed into the oscommerce pages. So though I'm sure it would increase sales it is not feasible at this time. Everything needs to be done via email. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please understand that the use of " I " can refer to hubby or myself taken in context. Most all about clothing, vintage dating, embroidery and crafts is me the rest is hubby. But we both contribute to all our sites and use " I " when referring to ourselves. Hubby has little interest in clothing, embroidery and the like but is really into the Cerebral Palsy sites. Likewise I know little about websites and he does all the HTML and such. We both contribute and we both refer to ourselves as I. Done! I bet you feel as if you just read a novel? Sorry.
