Your purchase is worry free. If, at any time, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied, please return the item(s) for a full refund. We do request that you contact us for instructions prior to returning any item. Should your parcel not arrive within a reasonable amount of time, please contact us.

We accept payment through Direct Checkout which ensures safety in all transactions.

For security, please ensure that your Etsy shipping address is correct.

Orders are shipped as soon as possible, always within the next business day. If, for any reason, we cannot ship your order the next day, you will be promptly advised of the problem. The exception to this rule is orders which include personalized ornaments. These orders are shipped in approximately ten days. Within Canada, we ship Canada Post Expedited. Orders to the USA are shipped either "Small Packet - Air" or "Tracked Packet - USA". Other locations are shipped by Small Packet - Air.

SHIPPING (Canada and USA) Sadly, it is expensive for us to ship one ornament. Happily, it is the same price or only a little more to ship more than one ornament. Within Canada and the USA, we have a flat charge of only $10.00 Canadian per shipping address, regardless of the number of Christmas ornaments ordered.

SHIPPING (other than Canada and USA) Our shipping rate to international locations for one ornament is $10.00 Canadian. Unfortunately our cost of shipping increases substantially with the addition of every ornament. Our shipping charge internationally is, therefore, $10.00 per ornament. Should you be charged $2.00 or more above our actual shipping cost, we will refund the difference plus $1.00. If you wish a shipping quote prior to ordering, please convo us.

LOCAL DUTIES AND TAXES. Please be aware that, depending on your location, your purchase may be subject to VAT, import duties and/or local taxes. Please check regulations for your area as the purchaser is responsible for these charges. (USA - there is no duty for orders purchased from us totalling (merchandise, shipping and insurance) less than $800.)

Tree Treasures focuses on bringing you excellence in customer service while providing you with quality Christmas ornaments at reasonable prices. We are a family business and we appreciate the importance of prompt, courteous and personal service.

All our products are hand carved and/or hand painted in our workshop located in Courtenay, British Columbia. Therefore, no two items are exactly the same and ornaments may vary slightly from the photos shown on our website. All items shown are in stock.
