If you choose your order to be shipped without insurance, then we are unable to take responsibility in the event that the package is lost or damaged in the mail. We are not obliged to resend the package nor refund your order unless the insurance option is selected.  Our insurance carrier is Shipsurance.  In the event of a package that goes missing - our insurance carrier requires us to wait for 30 days (domestic packages) or 45 days (international packages) before accepting a claim for re-imbursement or replacement.  A signed and dated letter from the intended recipient stating that they have not received the package is mandatory and must be provided before we can start the claim process.

Value
(packages weighing up to 2 lb)

Shipping & Handling Fee
***all values*** $29.50

Estimated International Surcharges (actual shipping costs will be charged) are:

Packages weighing 2lb - 3lbs will incur additional surcharge of $11.00

Packages 3lbs and over will incur a minimum surcharge $29.00 and higher depending on weight.

International customers please note that the shipping costs quoted in your order are for packages weighing up to 2 lb.  If heavier items are ordered (eg needlework frames, multiple kits, floss-a-way bags and some heavier charts etc) additional shipping charges may apply.  In those cases we will charge actual shipping costs. 

All packages are sent via Airmail unless requested otherwise.  Once the package has left here we are unable to control the speed of delivery.  Many times packages will arrive in Europe and many other overseas destinations within a week to 10 days. Packages can also take longer (3 weeks or more) and it is for this reason that we are unable to send a replacement package (for insured orders) until the insurance claim is processed (we are required to wait 45 days before filing a claim, and processing typically takes a further 2-3 weeks).

In the event of a package that goes missing - our insurance carrier (Shipsurance) requires us to wait for 30 days (domestic packages) or 45 days (international packages) before accepting a claim for re-imbursement or replacement.  A signed and dated letter from the intended recipient stating that they have not received the package is mandatory and must be provided before we can start the claim process - this letter MUST be received in our office before 60 days has passed from the date of shipment otherwise a claim and or reimbursement/reshipment will not be possible.

Customs and Other Charges

International customers are advised to check with their local customs agencies to determine if any additional customs charges, duties or taxes apply to the shipment within their country. ABC Stitch Therapy is not responsible for any of these additional costs.  

Returns Policy  

Unfortunately due to copyright restriction, charts cannot be returned. Please make your selections carefully.

We are also not able to accept returns on opened packages of beads or kits unless the kit is missing an item which should have been included by the manufacturer. Unless goods are faulty, we can only accept returns where the packaging of beads and kits has not been opened and ALL RETURNS must be made within 30 days.

Floss and fibers are also not accepted for returns. Please make your selections carefully.

If you are not satisfied with any other goods supplied, you may return them within 30 days for a refund. All returns must be in a condition suitable for resale. There is a 25% restocking fee on returned items and shipping costs are nonrefundable.  If an item is returned for exchange - additional shipping will be charged on the new item being sent.  If a package is returned to ABC Stitch Therapy due to a package being refused - shipping costs are not refundable and the 25% restocking fee is still applied.  No refunds can be made until the returned items are received in our store.  If a package is returned to us due to the customer entering an incorrect shipping address - additional shipping will be charge to resend the package to the correct address.

Please contact us first to obtain instructions and a returns number allocated. This will ensure a speedier return/refund/credit process and will avoid packages arriving in store without sufficient information.
