NikkiFaith's Shop Policies

Welcome

Welcome to my shop. I tend to like a lot of things, so I hope to also sell a lot of things! All items are made/kept in a smoke-free environment. Please note all vintage items are sold as is, I do not alter or fix them.

Please allow 1-2 weeks for custom handmade orders! I will let you know exactly what the time frame is when you order - depending on what you order and my schedule.

What I sell:
* I sell vintage clothes... since most vintage items don't fit my curvy figure, I offer them to all you ladies! All items are shot indoors, mostly in a studio - I do not let my models run around outside in them to possibly get them dirty. They put them on and take them off! Also please note that the clothes you buy are not for resale. I would expect you to buy them for you and not to try and resell someplace else.

* Vintage items and toys... garage sale finds and items from my own childhood.

* Hand-made jewelry... a combination of beads, findings and custom clay charms.

* Personal art... drawings, paintings, photographs, graphic design, paper collages, glass paintings, mini sculptures, and any other media I try my hand at.

Payment

I prefer PayPal, because it's fast and easy. If payment is not received within 5 days, then the item will be re-listed without notice. I will have to contact Etsy about this as well. If you need more time, just message me and we can work something out. I’ve spent too much time trying to contact non-paying customers and it’s not worth my time anymore.

I also allow personal check - just know you will have to wait for it to fully clear with YOUR bank before I ship out.

If for some reason your payment via Paypal does not process at the time of the transaction and I am notified of an exact payment date, I will contact you with this information. I do not ship out until the payment is received.

Shipping

I ship to the Paypal confirmed address. Please be aware of this and make sure that is the address you want your item to go to. If the shipping cost ends up being far less than what I list, I will partially refund the shipping cost back into your account.(assuming it's via PayPal) Please allow 2 days from received payment for item to be shipped. Please note the shipping cost includes handling as well - which accounts for wrapping, mailing and driving to the post office.

I do international shipping as well - just message me before buying and I can get you a more accurate quote! Once you confirm, I will change the listing so you can check out.

Most of the time, shipping is priority or 1st class (depending which is cheaper). This means that I ship the standard, ground shipping - there is no tracking number. If you would like to upgrade the shipping to something like overnight UPS, FEDEX or want a tracking number, you have to contact me before hand. I will check with the post office and change the listing just for you.

If you are local, please let me know before you buy and I can either remove the listing and meet to exchange or change the listing so there is no shipping and we can meet to exchange. Please know that if you choose this option, I will need a cash payment upon meeting/exchange.

I can ship an item as a gift to another address - just please let me know when checking out and provide address to be sent to. Special gift wrapping is available for this option. However, the Paypal account address needs to be inside the United States for proper verification and payment has to be received upon purchase.

* Packaging/wrapping:
Clothing items come wrapped in decorative tissue paper with matching ribbon and are sealed in a large bubble-wrap mailing envelope.

Jewelry and charm items are usually sealed in a zip-tight plastic bag and then either packaged in decorative wrapping or gift-boxed (depending on the size). They are then also sealed in a bubble-wrap mailing envelope.

Framed artwork is wrapped in decorative tissue paper, then wrapped in bubble wrap and then boxed and sealed.

Refunds and Exchanges

I only do refunds if I have grossly misrepresented something. Exchanges are welcome at cost to customer. (such as shipping cost) Keep in mind that your monitor may not show the color of the item correctly, so please read description. My monitor is calibrated once a month due to work, so the images I display are as true to the real color as it can get. There will not be any returns/refunds for "misrepresented colors". There will also not be any refunds for shipping to a wrong address or trouble with your own post office. Please check your address with Paypal and make sure that is where you want your item shipped. This is the only address I ship to because it is confirmed and covered. I am not responsible for any discrepancies you have with your post office. Please contact me within 3 days after receiving the item for a refund or exchange!

Additional Policies and FAQs

If you find something here that you like, but it's not exactly what you wanted - message me - I welcome custom orders.

I also love trades, as I am a big fan of Etsy and hand-made art!

I am open to wholesale orders, just give me a heads up, I am free to do large orders right now.
