Seed beads are glass beads and can have a dyed, galvanized or plated (with 24k gold or sterling silver) finish. Proper care will extend their life but even with correct usage, due to individual skin acids or hot/humid weather, the coating WILL fade or wear off at some point. I cannot guarantee the lifetime of the finish.

* Please be aware that Registered Mail is NOT fast delivery, the same shipping estimates apply to both priority and registered mail.
* Registered Mail has a tracking number but tracking is VERY MINIMAL. It will show when the order leaves Finland and when it is delivered (but not the different stages of the shipping process).
* When using Registered Mail a receipt is issued when mailed. Upon delivery, it requires the signature of the addressee (or authorized person's).
* For further info, please go to the appropriate USPS.com site.

Please be aware that marking an order as a gift does not mean that the customs slip will be marked "gift" as this is illegal. All orders requiring a customs slip will be marked as "Sale of goods" and the customs fees/taxes/other charges are the responsibility of the buyer.

All sale items are final and non-refundable.

* HOLIDAY SHIPPING TIME: Please be aware that shipping may take longer than estimated on peak seasons!!!!

*****For US CUSTOMERS: As shipping takes 2+ weeks on average, please be prepared for longer shipping times!!!!
* Shipping is by priority mail with NO TRACKING by Posti, the Finnish postal service.
* Please be aware that the tracking with the Registered mail (requires signature) option is very rudimentary!!!

* CUSTOM FEES/OTHER CHARGES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.

* Since the Finnish Postal Service (Posti) only gives a rudimentary timeframe for shipping and since international shipping is unpredictable I cannot give/guarantee an exact date of delivery of your order. Please be aware that unexpected delays may occur.

Please check that your Etsy name and address are correct as I cannot be held responsible for any delays or delivery problems resulting from an incomplete or incorrect address.

The bracelets are delicate and are meant for normal everyday wear.
* When putting on/ taking off a macramé knot bracelet, please pull the cord ends or knot g e n t l y .
* When putting on/ taking off a stretch bracelet, please ROLL your bracelet over your hand, don't stretch it.
* With all bracelets, avoid contact with water, lotions, perfumes, sunscreen and humidity. Please do not sleep, shower or exercise in them. All of these elements WILL degrade the beads and cords faster.
* Please be aware that in some cases the acids in the skin may affect the beads as well and that this is unavoidable.

Unfortunately, I am unable to take wholesale requests at the moment.
