Frequently Asked Question

Ordering Questions:

Online Ordering is new to me.
How do I place an order?

• Browse the online catalog by clicking on icons or underlined text.
• When you find an item you wish to purchase, click on the order button.  Make sure to choose color, size and options from an drop down box next to the products.  
• There is an arrow next to the drop down that will allow you to scroll and see the available options.
• Once you have clicked the Order Button you can choose to Shop More, Cancel the order or Check Out.
• Follow the instructions. The online catalog will walk you through the rest.
• It’s that easy!

• What about shipping costs?
  • Right now we are using a base shipping cost per US Zone.  To give you an idea a 1 pound package will run about $9.00 in the West Coast and about $12.00 to the East Coast.  International orders will be emailed with the additional shipping charges associated depending on the Country of delivery.  

• When can I expect to receive my order?
  • Your package should be shipped out within 1-7 working days (Monday – Friday) from the day we receive payment for order. Most items ship within a few days, but there are exceptions.  Some of our Custom-Crafted Jewelry and Artwork can take an additional 4 weeks to craft and ship out.  All Custom items are listed as such in the item description.  Some back-ordered items may also incur a shipping delay.

• Will I be charged shipping on any back ordered items?
  • No additional shipping is charged.
  • We will be happy to help you. Just call our Customer Service Department at 360-531-1107 during business hours (Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. [PST].  If you reach our answering service, please leave a detailed message and we will return your call as soon as we can.

• Returns and Refunds:
  • There are NO RETURNS on Custom Baskets, Custom Jewelry, Bath Products, Food, Art Work, Personalized & Heraldry items and Some Wedding Items.  Some items if shipped by our artist directly to you can only be returned for store credit.  If you need to return an item, please contact us prior to sending it back for any special instructions.  If something is damaged or broken in transit, please eMail or call us.  You will need to fill out a form for insurance.  If a return is for $20.00 or less a store credit could be issued instead of a refund.  We will not accept returns after 30 days.  A 25% restocking fee may apply to some items.
  • Our products have been chosen with the greatest care and special attention to quality. If, for any reason, something is not exactly to your liking, please contact us Within 30 days for your options.  Any refund given is exclusive of shipping charges.
