Buyer is responsible for all customs/duty fees. It is the buyers responsibility to be aware of their own countries duty/customs fees. We kindly ask that you do not place an order and request that we falsify the customs form. Amazing Adornments will not falsify customs forms. We will not mark customs forms as gifts and we will declare full value of the shipment. We will not lie to our government or yours and risk future problems should a package with false information be seized. By placing an order with us you agree to these terms.
*Please note that the delivery times listed above are USPS delivery times and not something we can control.
Yes, as long as there are no restrictions imposed by the USPS and your package can be insured if over $50.00. If the latter, rare condition is the case we will email you with alternative solutions.
At Amazing Adornments, we ship the next business day [unless payment was via check] barring any unforeseen problems with an order. Sometimes an address needs clarification for example. Your order will arrive as stated by the USPS delivery schedule. There is no way for us to guarantee delivery dates or times. For Express Mail, ETA's are available from the USPS upon request prior to shipment of your order. Please ask for this service.
First Class packages: All jewelry that will fit into a First Class bubble mailer [less than one pound] is placed in a plastic bag and bubble wrapped. it is then placed in a jewelry box.
Priority Mail: Same as above. If the item is too large for a jewelry box it is extra bubble wrapped for its protection. If the piece will not fit in a plastic bag, extra bubble wrap is used.
All other method: Corrugated mailers, Express mailers. All packages are wrapped so that the jewelry or item is secure.
All jewelry is placed inside of a plastic bag as long as the piece will fit. This is to prevent any loss of stones that may become dislodged during shipment. Vintage jewelry is old after all and some of it with glued in stones can have this problem. It is due to the deterioration of the old glue and is an expected condition.
Our items are sold as is. However, we understand that our customers cannot see the item except in a picture and that the best descriptions [and we try really hard to be thorough] might not be enough to fully describe a piece. If there is a problem with your purchase please contact us ASAP and we will happily refund your money minus shipping charges. You must contact us so that we can authorize any return.
We do not refund insurance charges. We also charge a 3% restocking fee where applicable, for example if an item or items are returned without authorization. The restocking fee increases to 10% for bounced checks or returns that have been authorized and not returned within seven days for domestic orders and 14 days for international orders.
It is important to say that there are those that buy items they have no intention of keeping. We feel this is abuse. As this is a business, and it takes time to prepare orders for shipping etc. we have no choice but to charge a 20% restocking fee if a customer continually buys and returns items. We are pleased to say that this does not happen often!
We do not issue refunds for buyers remorse, nor can Amazing Adornments be held responsible for items lost or damaged by the USPS if insurance is not purchased.
Items authorized for return must be returned via the same method they were shipped from Amazing Adornments and they must be in the same condition as we sent them in. Please use or return original packaging if possible.
The exception to this policy is for items in the TLC Collection. Items in this room are sold as is. THEY CANNOT BE RETURNED. Please read the descriptions carefully. Please take a look at our costume jewelry condition document for more information on how we describe an items condition.

As a general rule, we only perform light cleaning to pieces of jewelry we find. We do not polish silver. We use Jewel Joose and Sunshine Cloths for light cleaning.

This is a page of tables that outlines how we describe our used jewelry and other items. We provide this document because we understand that pictures are never sufficient when trying to determine condition of an item and condition is subjective. We try to be as clear and consistent as possible. We want you to know what you are purchasing and we want you to be happy with your purchase.

Our sold items are never removed completely from the site. Our site is also used as a research site as well as a shopping site so the items are placed in our sold archive at least twice per year. You can tell which items are sold without clicking on the item link or small image by looking for the purchase buttons. If they are not visible, the item has been sold.
We try to offer the largest possible discount on our items. Our checkout system only allows one coupon per sale. If you use your store discount we cannot combine it with an offer discount. On occasion if asked in advance we can manually combine both discounts into one coupon dependant upon the cost of the item(s) to us.
