I accept credit cards and Paypal.

After you place an order PLEASE check your email and Etsy account for messages regarding your order. If I have a question or problem with your order and you do not respond to messages, it is very difficult for me to complete your order.

If you change your mind, orders must be canceled within 6 hours. Many of my items are mailed out the same day they are ordered, so a late cancellation may not be possible.

I do not hold or reserve items.

International Customers:
VAT, GST, and any other Tax is NOT included in the price.
You are required to pay any import taxes, duties, and/or brokerage fees when receiving your package. The UK has VAT taxes on purchases more than £15, and Royal Mail charges an additional £8 handling charge. Many other countries have similar charges.

Shipping is from New Hampshire via USPS, with the most economical service.

Please make sure you provide a correct current address. Your label is printed with the address as YOU provide it. If you give the wrong address, and there are problems with delivery, I am not responsible for incorrectly entered addresses. If your item is returned to me, I will ask that you purchase another mailing label through Etsy. I can not cover your shipping costs when you have given me an incorrect address.

NO RUSH ORDERS ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR COMMUNICATION!
If you are in a hurry, you must contact me BEFORE - NOT AFTER you order so that I may adjust the shipping method and price, or let you know if it is not possible to meet your deadline. Many of my items are gathered upon your order and it may take several days before I can go out into the forest to collect and process your items. Orders placed with a time frame will be cancelled and refunded unless you have communicated with me BEFORE the order is placed.

I can not help you if you tell me AFTER your item has been purchased that you have a deadline. Some orders go out the same day they are purchased - once they go out I have no control over what happens with USPS mail.

Most items will be mailed out within three business days of payment, with exceptions made for inclement weather, custom orders and lamp shades.

Once your item is in the mail, I can not change the shipping method. I can not speed up your delivery, nor can I predict what day you will receive your item. Etsy will provide a tracking number in your account and you can visit USPS.com to check on the progress of your package.

Lampshades, expensive items and breakable items are insured. If you receive a damaged item, I will need photos of the item and the box to file a claim.

I use recycled packing materials. Reduce, reuse recycle!

Smaller lightweight items will be mailed USPS first class which can take 2 to 9 days.

Packages over 1 pound will be mailed priority which usually takes 2 to 7 days.

For the most accurate shipping costs on multiple orders, please convo me with the items you want and your zip code, and I can give you a price.

If you need an item expedited, please convo me and I will change the listing and price accordingly. Having said this, I live in a remote part of NH where USPS Express mail can take a day longer than advertised. Depending where you live, and what day of the week it is, it may not be possible to mail your item overnight or two day delivery.

If you place an order PLEASE check back into Etsy and look at your messages in the next few days. If I have a question, or a problem, or your address is wrong, and you do not answer my convos, I have a very hard time knowing what to do with your order.

ABOUT MY HERBS:
Unlike many other Etsy sellers, I personally grow and gather all my own my field and forest products. They are not purchased in bulk from outside sources and repackaged for sale; they are ethically and sustainably grown, harvested or wildcrafted by myself from the pristine fields and forests of New Hampshire. You can be assured of the source, authenticity and freshness of herbs, flowers, bark, berries, and other natural products in my store. While they are gathered, dried, processed and stored as cleanly as possible, wildcrafted and organically grown garden herbs came from the forest, fields, and garden, where they were exposed to wind, rain, soil, birds, insects, and animals. They are not sterile. They may contain very small amounts of other plant material, such as grass, moss, pollen, pine needles, leaf bits, or insects, as they do while growing in nature. Solar drying preserves herbs and drives out or kills insects, but it does not sterilize the plant material. This could only be done with chemicals or extreme heat, both of which would destroy or alter the healing qualities of the plants.

Many of my buyers use herbs externally, or in a ceremonial, spiritual or ritual way, so the safety issue is not the same as those who intend to ingest herbs. In either case, it is up to the buyer to research, prepare and administer herbs in a safe and tested manner. The herbs I sell are generally recognized by herbalists as safe for consumption or application to the skin, but I do not and can not advise how herbs should be used. The FDA and Etsy both prohibit this. If you have a compromised immune system, are already ill, are pregnant, have allergies to pollen or unknown allergies, you should think twice about buying and using herbs off the internet. This can be done only at your own risk.

Herbs are mailed in a no-frills zip lock bag with the contents written on the bag. The bag will be wrapped in paper and mailed in a padded envelope. I do not print labels or have any sort of airtight sealer for herbs. Please note that herbs, tinctures, and salves can not be returned. And please ask questions if you are not sure or want more information. Samples may be available for a small fee - please ask.
