Product Descriptions

We make every effort to describe our products accurately. Due to their handmade and natural qualities, items (like touchstones and mugs) may vary in size, color, weight, and appearance.

Pricing & Payments

All prices are in US dollars. Payments are processed securely via FreshBooks Payments (powered by Stripe). Your card information is encrypted and never stored on our servers. You will receive a receipt by email after your purchase.

Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on your shipping address, in accordance with North Carolina and other state tax laws.

Shipping Area & Method

We currently ship within the U.S. via USPS Ground Advantage, which includes tracking and insurance up to $100.

Processing Time & Delivery

Orders are typically processed within one week (maybe less depending on how busy we are supporting you and other game-changers in their connection & strategy work). Delivery usually takes 2–5 business days depending on your location.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on order weight and size. Promotional flat-rate or free shipping offers will be clearly indicated on the product or checkout page.

Packaging

Each item is packaged with care. Ceramic products are wrapped in bubble wrap and boxed to ensure safe delivery. Stickers are mailed in cards with envelopes.

Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Packages

We are not responsible for items marked as “delivered” by USPS. Please first contact your local post office. Then reach out to us and we’ll do our best to assist.

Order Cancellations

We begin processing orders quickly. If you need to cancel, contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible. Orders that have shipped cannot be canceled.

  • If you want a return or refund, contact us within 7 days of delivery.
  • Items must be unused and shipped back in packaging that protects them (bubbles & boxes).
  • You will be responsible for return shipping unless the item arrived to you damaged or incorrectly.
