Sending In Your Contribution
Right now turnaround time is over 16 + weeks at a best guess, but as soon as the order is placed it puts you next in line on my to do list. Please understand, that we are a small business run out of our home with a single clay artist. We do the best we can to get order out in as timely a manner as possible, but it all depends on the complexity of the orders that we run into in the interim.
**When filling out customs forms, please put it as a sample of the inclusion you are shipping (Breastmilk , ashes, hair etc) as materials for jewelry and do not add a value, (if they are insistent, put $1) as it results in duty charges (tax at the border) and an invoice will have to be sent for the price of the duty charges.**
