SHIPPING INFORMATION
2024 SHIPPING CHANGES The world keeps spinning, and so do the challenges! In 2024, inflation, wage increases, rising shipping fees, and skyrocketing energy costs are the new hurdles we’re leaping over. These factors have driven up prices for both products and shipping, but rest assured, we’re working hard to get your beads to you as efficiently and affordably as possible.
DOMESTIC SHIPPING With everyone ordering from the comfort of their couch, shipping carriers have upped their prices and added “Peak Season” charges. Some are even tacking on an extra $5.95 per package. Delivery times are longer, and guarantees are out the window. So, plan ahead, order early, and practice your patience poses.
