AtticRaiders

Q: What kind of payment options are there for in store purchases?
~ The payment options available will be shown at the time of check out.

Q: I can’t make full payment on my recent purchase from your store; can I make a partial payment?
~ Yes. Partial payments of a minimum of 50% of the total before taxes and shipping is applied can be paid to AtticRaiders. Please message AtticRaiders to arrange for a payment plan

Q: Can you put an item on hold for me?
~Yes!
Any item in shop that has been put on hold will be put on hold for one (1) week/five (5) business days only.
If the item is not paid for by the end of the five (5) business days then the item will become available to the public for purchase again and your hold on the item will be removed.

[ AtticRaiders reserves the right to refuse a hold on an item.]

Q: What about taxes and extra fees, who pays it?
~You the buyer are responsible for any additional fees that may occur. This includes but is not limited to, border fees, country tax, insufficient funds bank fee, etc.

Q: How do you ship your items?
~ All purchases are shipped in a sturdy box, are well padded and sent with an automatic tracking number to destinations in the USA, Canada and International.

International destination shipping fees cover International Xpresspost shipment type. This includes a tracking number for the safety of your purchase and the peace of mind for us both. Due to many Covid restrictions in place by different countries, no cheaper option is available to ship to International addresses.

Q: Can I have my purchase shipped to arrive sooner?
~Yes, with some exceptions, purchases made and destined to be sent outside of Canada can contact AtticRaiders on Etsy for a different shipping cost estimate.

Q: Do you ship internationally?
~Yes, I can ship to any International destination with the following exception(s): Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Thailand, Brazil

Q: That’s a steep shipping fee, why is it so high?
~The shipping fee pays for a shipping option that includes a tracking number for all of the contents shipped. It is the most accurate flat rate currently available from Canada Post.

Q: Why do you insist on a tracking number?
Peace of mind. Charging for a shipping option with a tracking number and insurance means ,in the rare case, if AtticRaiders needs to open a claim about a lost and/or damaged package, having that tracking number and full content value listed means the claim may fall in our favor for compensation.

I believe in fair shipping costs and do my best to offer a reasonable shipping fee for each item. With tracking on the purchase, we can easily track the package at our convenience and be reassured that our package is safe.

Q: Can you ship it any cheaper?
~Yes, for some destinations. Please be advised that with NO TRACKING NUMBER MEANS NO REFUND! A cheaper shipping option forgoes any ability to track the parcel, disables the option for an exchange, repair, refund, exchange and return between AtticRaiders and the purchaser. Choosing a shipping option with no tracking makes the item FINAL SALE.

=============================================================
I don't own the shipping companies nor can I foretell the future for when unexpected events occur that may delay a package from being delivered on time. Please consider the possibility that the item may be delayed for reasons outside my influence.
==============================================================

* If you are unsure about your parcel - its hung up in transit etc. for four (4) or more business days, call your local post office or call CANADA POST direct at these numbers:
- Within Canada, call 1-800-267-1177
- Outside Canada, call 1-416-979-8822

** It is in your best interest to personally monitor your tracked package while it is en-route. If you notice an issue, please call your local post office or Canada Post to assist you. I only know as much as you do, based on the results displayed on the Canada Post tracking information page.

Q: Do you ship the same day?
~All non-customized items that are sold and paid in full are shipped within 1-5 business days.

Q: Can I meet you somewhere locally to pick up my purchase?
~ No, I do not do local drop offs.

Q: I received my parcel but I have to pay the postal office for it, why is that?
~The extra fee may be one of the additional costs that may occur while the parcel was traveling. It could be, but is not limited to, a border tax, province tax, processing fee, etc.
{ This fee is not paid by AtticRaiders or myself and is the buyer’s responsibility to pay it. This additional cost has nothing to do with the original postage fee. }

Q: Can you stop a parcel after its been dropped at the post?
~ No. Once its sent, its sent and AtticRaiders cannot stop or recall a package.

Q:I received an order but its not what I purchased, what do I do?
- Oops! My sincerest apologies! On a very, very rare occasion an order may be mixed up. I'm human, I make mistakes. Please be assured this is not done intentionally and the following steps will be taken to correct the mix-up:

~ a duplicate item will promptly be prepped to be shipped to you nd shipment of the wrong item will be arranged.
~ your choice will immediately be arranged for the fastest shipping option available to deliver the item to the address listed on the original purchase receipt, unless asked for otherwise.

Q: I used the wrong address to make my purchase. What do I do?
~ If your order has been shipped already, there isn't anything I can do as I cannot call the post office and ask them to send the package back after it's been processed.

*In the event of a wrong address and assuming that the package is returned, the cost of reshipping a returned package is the responsibility of the buyer. An invoice will be organized by AtticRaiders and sent to the buyer to complete.

~ If the order has NOT been shipped, the order will be cancelled and the customer will be encouraged to complete a new order with the correct address information provided.

(!) Shoppers are responsible for maintaining the information on their profiles, which includes an up-to-date address. AtticRaiders cannot be held responsible for a wrong address provided by the customer.

[WASTE REDUCTION CREED]
'To do more with less and leave little behind.'
AtticRaiders strives to reduce it's waste, reduce it's carbon footprint by minimalizing the use of plastics or non-bio or non-perishable materials in it's packaging. AtticRaiders chooses to divert materials that would have ended up in the landfill and chooses to utilize them in it's accessories as much as possible, within reason.

Listings that have an item that are made with materials that were diverted from the landfill are marked as so in the description.

All AtticRaiders parcels use little to no plastic in it's packaging. Purchased goods are sent in safe, clean materials that are almost 100% recyclable, with goals to make all shipping materials and packaging 100% biodegradable/recyclable by 2021!

Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.

· if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
· as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
