Payment
My preferred payment method is PayPal, but I also accept Amazon Payments, Google Checkout, and postal money orders from US customers. Postal money orders must be made in the exact amount of your purchase (I cannot issue change) and mailed to the address provided when you check out. I will ship your order within two business days of receiving your postal money order. If you pay electronically (PayPal, Amazon Payments, or Google Checkout), I will ship within two business days of payment being made, or in the case of eChecks, within two business days of your eCheck clearing.

Please note that I do not accept personal checks, teller's checks, cashier's checks, certified checks, or any type of money order other than those issued by the US Postal Service.

If your order is being shipped to a California address, sales tax will be added on when you check out. If you are purchasing items for resale, I will need you to fill out and send me a California BOE resale certificate (form 230).

Shipping
-U.S. orders are shipped via First Class Mail, unless other arrangements have been made prior to placing your order.
-International orders are shipped via First Class International Mail, unless other arrangements have been made.
-All A Bead Sea purchases are carefully packaged and shipped within two business days of payment clearing. My post office is closed on Saturdays, so I usually do not ship on weekends. If you have an urgent order and need Saturday shipping, please contact me before placing your order.
-Priority and Express options also available. Please contact me for rates.

Refunds and Exchanges
Please contact me immediately if there is a problem when you receive your order.

I accept returns up to 30 calendar days after you check out through my shop. Please contact me if you would like to return an item, so I can provide you with my mailing address, and so I will know to expect your return. I always recommend using delivery confirmation when shipping packages. I will refund your purchase price (less shipping) via your original payment method as soon as I receive the item in its original condition. Returns must be received within 30 calendar days of your check-out date.

Please contact me if you have any questions at any time.
