Buyers are raving!
This shop got multiple 5-star reviews in the past 7 days.
Announcement
Reminder: Monday, January 17 is a federal holiday observed by the USPS, so there will be no shipping that day. (My "handling time" will be lengthened to help account for that.)
Welcome! Most items are Custom-Made-to-Order, based on your selections/specifications. Please contact me if you have questions or special requests. ["Read More" below for discounts and more info]
* Please note that carriers, such as the USPS, are currently experiencing longer-than-usual transit times for many package, and that transportation disruptions -- such as cancelled/delayed flights, shortages of drivers in the trucking industry, etc. -- can further affect the transit times of packages. If your order is time-sensitive, please consider upgrading to the Priority Mail shipping option during checkout. Thank you for understanding.
>>>> Shipping and Order Discounts (Last Updated: July 23, 2021) <<<<

* Jewelry Orders UNDER $35 ship...
... to a U.S. address at a FLAT rate, regardless of the number of items: the USPS First Class Package option is $3.89; Priority and Priority Express upgrades are available at additional cost (combined shipping discount is applied automatically during checkout; no code required)
... to Canada, via USPS First Class International OR equivalent service, with a shipping fee of $10.49 for one item plus $1.00 for each additional item; USPS International Priority and Priority Express upgrades are available at additional cost (combined shipping discount is applied automatically during checkout; no code required)

* Orders under $35 that include non-jewelry items (such as t-shirts) may have a different shipping fee structure. If you have any questions, please contact me for assistance. :)
* Please note that transit times -- both domestically and internationally -- may take longer than usual due to transportation delays/shortages and the pandemic mitigation policies being observed by the USPS and other postal and customs services around the world. Thank you for understanding.
** I ship world-wide, except where prohibited (by law, sanction, etc.)
>>>> Handling Time (Last Updated: June 18, 2021) <<<<
* Handling times are presented in terms of BUSINESS days; Saturdays, Sundays and US Holidays should not be counted.
* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, each item has its own estimated "handling" time, usually provided as a range (for example: 1 - 3 days). Please see the item listing for the handling time estimate that applies.
* Inexplicably, Etsy is now "hiding" the actual handling time specified by the seller. To find it in an item listing: Scroll down to the "Shipping and return policies" section (tap/click to expand it if necessary) and find where it says "Order placed" (under today's date); tap the "Order placed" link on a mobile device, or hover over it on a desktop/laptop, and a blurb will open that shows the actual number of business days the seller is advertising as the handling time. Knowing this information can be critical, since the Etsy system does not always calculate the dates correctly… especially around USPS Holidays. :(
Handling time exceptions…
* When purchasing multiple items together, the longest handling time among them will dictate the minimum handling time for the whole order.
* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, orders that include a number of such items *may* result in a longer handling time than is estimated for just one of them. The larger the order, the more likely there will be a delay.
* Time zone differences can affect what the order date is considered to be for some orders placed late at night.
* The Etsy system does not always correctly calculate shipping date estimates, especially around Holidays. Please understand that the number of business days I have specified is what will apply… not the date Etsy calculates. If you have questions about a specific order, please ask.
NOTE:
If you do not want your item(s) with a shorter handling time being delayed by your item(s) with a longer handling time, please checkout for the longer handling time item(s) separately from the other item(s), so they can be shipped in separate batches, as the items become ready.
… Likewise, if you are ordering many items, but have a special timing need for one or two of them, you can place an order for the "emergency" item(s) first, then a separate order for everything else, to ensure that the size of the order does not delay the item(s) you need right away.

About ImagizeYourWorld
Shop policies
Please read the descriptions carefully, and specify your choices promptly, when applicable. (Most items will specify “default selections” that will automatically apply in the absence of a note, so it is important that you remember this step to avoid disappointment. If you forget to include a note with your payment, you can CONVO me through Etsy.)
If the options or quantities you need are not listed, please let me know. I am always happy to accommodate Special Requests when possible. :)
Common Sense, Mutual Courtesy and Honest Communication are essential components of every transaction. It is only TOGETHER that we can make every transaction a great experience!
If information you need for an item is missing or unclear, please contact me so I can answer your questions before you purchase.

Returns and exchange details
* If you receive a damaged, defective or incorrect item, please contact me within 3 days of your order being delivered, so the error/problem can be corrected. (Please save the shipping box and all packing materials.)
* If you received the correct item, but need an adjustment or alteration to improve your experience (such as needing the length of a velvet choker to be shortened for a better fit), please contact me with the details so I can assist you if it's possible. (Please save the shipping box and all packing materials to ensure you're able to safely mail the item back to me.) All shipping and additional component costs will be the responsibility of the buyer when no seller error has occurred.
* Exceptions: On occasion, there may be select items/variations/specifications that fit the "Custom" category but include a note in the description stating that they ARE eligible for exchange. If/when this note appears, the described item/variation/specification will be eligible for exchange (only), with all other terms/policies/procedures noted under the "For items that ARE eligible for general returns/exchanges…" heading below applying.
>>> CLEARANCE and discounted items are not eligible for changes, cancellations, exchanges*, returns or refunds. (*Exchanges are available in the case of seller error. See below for more details.)
* If you receive an incorrect item, please contact me within 3 days of your order being delivered, so the error/problem can be corrected. (Please save the shipping box and all packing materials.)
* Clearance/discounted items with disclosed damage/defects are "as is" and cannot be returned/exchanged on the basis of damage/defects that were appropriately noted prior to purchase.
>>> For items that ARE eligible for general returns/exchanges…
* The item must be returned in the same condition in which it was received. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Still new/unused
- Still sealed in the original clear plastic packaging (if applicable)
- Free from alteration
- Free from dirt, stains, marks, odors, scratches, creases, cuts, cracks or any other damage or marring
- Free from pet dander, smoke, perfume or any other allergens
- Includes all original parts, pieces, etc.
* All shipping costs (original and return/exchange) are the responsibility of the buyer
* If the original order received a discount and/or freebie (including, but not limited to: a percentage off the purchase price, free shipping, free product or free upgrade), due to the total dollar value or item quantity of the purchase, AND that order would not have qualified for the discount/freebie without the inclusion of the returned item(s), the value of that discount/freebie will be deducted from the refund or credit. [Note: Items being exchanged for something of equal (or greater) value and quantity (rather than being returned for refund or credit) will not be affected by this.]
>>> Additional Notes…
* Seller retains the right and sole discretion to make exceptions -- that are less strict than the posted terms -- on a case-by-case basis. Making such an exception, even if done so on a regular basis, does not obligate Seller to make the exception in the future, or in any specific case.
* If you have any questions, please contact me for assistance. Thank you! :)
Payment
8% SALES TAX will be applied to orders shipping to Illinois
Shipping
Buyer may choose from USPS First Class Package, Priority or Priority Express** during checkout.
* Orders that specify First Class Package but are too large/heavy to qualify will ship via USPS Priority.
* Due to the nature of custom and made-to-order items, selecting a faster transit time does not guarantee a faster handling time.
** If you would like Priority Express, but it is not available as a choice for your item(s), please request a custom listing for your order (include the specific details, such as colors, sizes, etc., and if you have a specific deadline).
For gifts being shipped directly to the intended recipient, I can remove the pricing information and/or add a gift message, by request (include a note during checkout).
~ All Orders (U.S. and international) ~
Completion/ship-by estimates are provided for each item (most are Custom-Made-to-Order)
* Multiple-item orders and orders placed during peak times may, in rare cases, take a little longer.
Combined Shipping Discounts will be automatically applied by the system during checkout.
Buyer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
* Buyer will be required to pay for reshipment of packages returned by the USPS (unless the cause was seller error).
Buyer agrees to cooperate fully with any insurance claim procedure, in the event an insured package suffers loss or damage in transit.
* If the seller's claim is denied on the basis of the buyer failing to fulfill this obligation, any refund or replacement will be forfeit.
~ Orders shipping outside the U.S. ~
Standard International Shipping is USPS First Class International (or equivalent)
* International Priority is available for an additional charge
If you would like your phone number included on the shipping label/customs form, please include it in a note during checkout. (Or send me a separate message after completing the checkout process.)
You agree to all of the following:
(1) Customs/import duties, VAT and/or other fees incurred upon importation/delivery are the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
(2) Tracking may not exist outside the U.S., and when it does it may be very limited. It is normal for a First Class Package (or equivalent) to never be scanned "delivered"; the lack of a "delivered" scan does NOT indicate that the package was not delivered, and will not make the order eligible for refund/replacement.
(3) The item value will be accurately displayed on the Customs Form and Packing Slip.
(4) The item will be accurately described as "merchandise" on the Customs Form
Additional policies and FAQs
Due to the nature of HANDMADE, CUSTOM and MADE-TO-ORDER items (and some natural components), minor imperfections and slight variances are to be expected and accepted as part of the charm.
The “Fine Print” for custom printed items:
By submitting a photo, graphic, design, concept, etc. for use with my Custom Printed items, you agree (1) that you grant unlimited and free use of the image and/or concept to the Seller (please note that photos of your friends and family will NOT be sold to other Buyers without your express permission, BUT photos of the final product(s) may be used for advertising/sample purposes, and additional items not ordered by you may be created for use as samples and in advertising), (2) that any image you have provided is either personal in nature OR would be considered fair use/public domain, OR is copyrighted by you (and you will notify Seller of such copyright no later than payment).
