Shipping Policy
Terms and Conditions
Order Cancellation, Additions & Changes
Because each item within your order is hand-packed or made fresh just for you, orders that are canceled after they have gone to fulfillment will incur a 25% cancellation fee. To request a cancellation of a current pending shipment order, please email earthmedicinellc@gmail.com. If your order hasn't been put into the fulfillment center, no charge will be incurred. Orders cannot be canceled once they have gone to our shipping center. Our website will send an order confirmation to the e-mail account that you provide us at checkout. Please take a moment to verify that all the information you have sent us, is correct. Your order will be shipped to the exact address you provided us, so if you made an error … please take that moment to let us know.
If your box is returned back to us as undeliverable, we will contact you to collect the correct shipping address and re-bill you for the shipping fees. FedEx and USPS both require new postage to be affixed to the re-shipped box, this will be covered at the customer's expense. If you decide you do not want the box re-shipped to you, the product total will be issued back to your payment method less a 25% restocking fee to cover administrative expenses. No shipping fees will be reimbursed, as they have already been "used up" when the box was originally shipped.
Shipping Times
We ship orders by the date series as they come in. Please do not ask us to "quick ship" items ahead of others who have been patiently waiting. Doing this actually slows down our internal packing systems, and makes those waiting … wait even longer.
An email containing tracking information will be sent to you once your package(s) have been shipped. If you receive more than one tracking e-mail, this most likely means you have more than one box coming, so please save all of them. Instructions are provided within these e-mails on how to track your box(es) as they move through the carrier's system.
You can view your shipping costs before confirming your order. Some items cannot be shipped by US mail either because of their size or their "flashpoint" of the product. Those products have to be shipped by FedEx. Our cart is super smart and will know how to ship your items the safest way possible. We mention this because FedEx ground is sometimes not the fastest form of shipping, however, its the only way some items can be shipped. We ship from Arkansas, so transit times will vary depending upon how far you live from us. The information is provided below so you will have an estimated idea of arrival times once your parcel has shipped:
If you are a U.S. Customer or live within a U.S. Occupied Territory: US Priority Mail is generally received within 2-3 business days after the parcel has been released into the hands of the US Postal System. They do not guarantee their delivery times, but in our experience, they do a decent job of meeting their target delivery dates.
US military bases who are located outside of the US: The above information applies, except that your parcel will be delivered by the US Postal Service within 2-3 business days to the military, who will then forward the shipment to you based on their timeframe.
FedEx Shipments: Once your parcel has been released into the FedEx system, your delivery times will be as follows, based on the map below:
Hot Pink (West Coast): Delivers the next business day
Light Blue: 2 business days
Orange: 3 business days
Green: 4 business days
Magenta (East Coast): 5 business days
International Customers: We ship international shipments by FedEx. Delivery time is based on the speed you select at checkout. Please note that all custom/brokerage fees are the customer's responsibility, based on whatever your country will charge.
Damaged Freight / Lost Packages
Although every effort is made to ensure a safe delivery, sometimes an order is damaged during shipment. We want to know if something arrives to you in a damaged condition. To begin the process, we will require that you take pictures of the damaged product(s), and box material if relevant. These pictures can be taken from a cell phone and texted to: 870-293-5981 (please include your invoice number in the body of the text). If you need to contact us about your damage claim, please use our customer service number located at the top of our website.
You may also e-mail your damaged freight pictures to earthmedicinellc@gmail.com. Please include your invoice number and the name that the order was placed on, and do provide us with as much detail that relates to the products damaged. Earth Medicine LLC reserves the right to issues partial credits/re-sends based on the level of damage.
Lost packages at the hands of a carrier are indeed a bummer. We get that! As the shipper, we are not responsible for parcels that we have correctly shipped. If your parcel becomes lost, please email them to open a claim. Ultimately, however, it is the carrier's decision on they wish to handle the claim. If they accept responsibility, we will work out the details on getting a new shipment to you. If they do not accept responsibility, this issue is between you and the carrier. Earth Medicine LLC does not provide refunds, credits or resends on parcels that were correctly shipped from our facility without the carrier accepting responsibility. If you are worried about this topic, it is our suggestion that you select your shipping options carefully at checkout. Fedx are very good at tracing lost parcels. USPS typically accepts no responsibility or liability, so though their shipping is cheaper, it is certainly riskier.
Returns and/or Incorrect Items Shipped
Because of the nature of the products we sell, we do not accept returns for any reason unless it was a packaging error on our part. If you received an incorrectly issued item, please contact us right away at earthmedicinellc@gmail. com with as much detail as possible to facilitate our internal processes of correcting this issue for you. Items that are mailed back to us without receiving a proper Return Authorization number from Earth Medicine LLC will be discarded and a store credit will not be granted. All returns, incorrectly shipped items or items not received need to be worked out within 30 days of receiving your parcel according to shipper's delivery date.
Back Orders / Discontinued Items
We strive to keep our inventory "in stock" at all times. However, from time to time we do run into product shortages. If this happens to an item you ordered, we will notify you of the shortage with a backorder notice placed inside your box that contains the balance of your shipment. If the product on backorder is due to our warehouse within a week's time of your initial shipment, we will ship that backordered item at our expense as soon as it has been received to our warehouse. A separate tracking e-mail will be generated and sent to you. If one item constitutes as your whole order, and that one item is out of stock we will e-mail you with the option of a backorder or a full refund.
Backordered or discontinued items that cannot be shipped within 1-2 wks of your initial shipment leaving our facility will be immediately credited back to your payment method with any unused shipping fees.
Packaging Process
For orders shipped within the connected 48 states, you will receive your oils packaged in glass up to the 10ml. size. Sizes beyond that are shipped in plastic, for safety reasons. Orders outside of the connected 48 states, all bottles no matter their contents will be shipped in plastic. Creams are always packaged in plastic.
Our bottles are filled by volume, not by weight. This means if you order a 10ml. bottle of product, you will receive a 10ml. bottle filled to normal capacity based on the size of the bottle. If you need to know the weight of the product inside the bottle - please work out those details via internet search.
Products filled into jars, or baggies are filled by weight of product.
When placing an order through our website, by phone or email you are agreeing that our packaging terms are acceptable to your needs.
