Terms of Service

QUESTIONS & CONTACT:

If you need to get information about an order, correct shipping or have other inquiries, please contact us directly via email: alchemyartgroup@gmail.com. We are happy to discuss custom jobs and/or requests.

We don't answer order inquiries via social media for privacy reasons - thank you for understanding.

PURCHASES:

Within the first 48 hours of the request, you can place a refund request so long as nothing is packaged and in the sendout queue. Please email with your request and order number from the email you used at the time of ordering. We take a 10-15% fee to cover all platform & credit cards fees as these are no longer returned to us. After 48 hours, we offer refunds in the form of gift cards, but will not refund any items directly.

For preorder items: You are able to refund the costs of an item up until the closing of preorders. After that, we do NOT refund for any reason due to fees/production being placed to order. You can, if you wish, sell the preorder to someone at cost and have the shipping information transferred if done before a shipping label is generated.

Rejected Delivery: If you happen to reject delivery of an item (i.e., forget to pick it up, mistype an address), you will need to re-pay shipping costs IF the package makes it back to us. If it doesn't, and it's uninsured, we may be unable to help, but please email us to discuss the issue. Please double check addresses before purchasing!

For returns, we accept returns with a 30% restocking fee. We do not cover shipment of items back to location.

Sale Items: These are non-refundable.

By purchasing an item from our site, you agree that you are the payment method's rightful owner OR have been given expressed permission to use it. If you are a dependent, you confirm that you have been given consent from a guardian or representative to use and purchase from the site.

REQUESTS ON ORDER NOTES:

We try our very best to view and accommodate notes in orders, but we cannot promise everything noted. However, we will make every effort to do so.

If you have specific or urgent notes, please contact us first.

SHIPPING:

ALL packages, regardless of contents, come with tracking, and will be provided via email automatically when the order is generated. If you lose this information, feel free to email to get it again, but we are not held liable if you don't check the information given and miss a package.

If your package gets lost in the mail, and it says it's delivered (or an acceptable amount of time has passed), please take your tracking number and receipt to your local post office and file a claim. We do not file these claims for you. However, please notify us immediately so we can place a hold on items for you and/or get another shipped to you. In the event that it is a first class or media mail item, we will do what we can, but those packages do not automatically come with insurance (please opt for insurance/priority mailing if you'd like full coverage).

If a package is damaged on delivery, it is again the duty of the recipient to file a claim on the package, based off of the shipping paid for (insurance is included at priority shipment levels). Please inform us with the applicable information (photos & claim codes) and we'll work with you to replace items.

For non-preorder and non-crowdfunded shipping timelines, please read our selections & pricing information (toward the end). Preorder and crowdfunded timelines are based on the shipping timelines specified on their campaigns, which are subject to change based on manufacturer timelines.

Customs: For Canada and other countries that cross a border, the buyer is responsible for paying any fees incurred. Should you reject the package due to customs, you will not be refunded shipping costs, and will need to repay them to have it shipped (or we will refund 50% of the original item(s)' cost, if the item gets back to us only). 

Excluded Countries: Due to U.S. commerce law, we cannot ship to: Afghanistan, Belarus, Burundi, China, Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe.

INFORMATION:

When something is purchased from our store, we collect information such as names, email addresses, and addresses. We will never distribute it to any outside party.

We automatically keep email addresses for communication reasons. For generic contacts about projects, our email lists are only used for updates and information pertinent to the group, and can be opted out at any time via email.

We run our store on Shopify (as well as other platforms such as Kickstarter, Pledge Manager, Indiegogo and BackerKit). To fulfill orders and sell products, the store(s) retain your information, which is secured and protected.
