I let my children use them, be around them, sort them, and play games with them. I would not let my children use the beads if I thought there was a risk. If I find out about a safety risk in the beads you bought I will inform you immediately.

However, I haven't personally paid money to have them tested for any chemicals or lead to guarantee them safe for children. By buying these beads you assume that risk, I cannot be held liable. They are not recommended for children.

Also, beads are not candy even though they sometimes look like candy. Choking is a real and dangerous thing, don't put beads in your mouth. I am not liable if you choose to eat beads. Talk to your kids if they mouth things, to prevent tragedy. And enjoy the beads!

I am currently, typically, shipping Monday through Friday. Because of recent changes in the world, I have switched from packing orders in the morning to packing at night, to allow for package pickup.

So, typically orders placed by about 6pm EST will go out the next morning. Orders placed later than that will go out the following morning.

The main exception to this would be Sundays and holidays, and that occasional day where it doesn't happen because I am just one person. I will always do my best to get it out quickly though.

I can not ship payment pending orders until payment clears.

Prearranged special orders will also not go out right away, but on the schedule discussed when setting up the order.
