Sales and Returns Policy 

All sales are final.  Prices are subject to change.

Damaged Items Policy 

If an item is damaged, we will replace it. Please include a photo of the damaged item when requesting replacement. 

Shipping Policy 

Shipping charges for large wholesale orders are constantly changing. We reserve the right to repackage your shipment for the most efficient shipping and will notify you of any shipping changes. If you would like us to use your carrier (UPS or FedEx) please let us know at the time your order is placed so we can make adjustments to the shipping charges. Unless we are notified in writing, we will ship ground service when using UPS and FedEx and use Priority Mail, Media Mail and First Class mail for USPS. International orders will be shipped using DHL or USPS, depending on the destination and we will contact you in advance to make arrangements.  

Shipping Snafus, Partial and Incorrect Addresses 
  • Our order system ships to the address that you specify on your order. 
  • If the address is not recognized by the US Postal Service for domestic or international addresses, we will contact you for clarification prior to shipping. This will extend the order processing time. 
  • If the address you specify is incorrect and your order is returned to us, we will contact you to correct the address and request that you pay for additional shipping costs to re-ship your order. 
  • If we make an error on your order, we will ship any missing or damaged items to you at no additional charge. 
  • We sometimes ship items on your order separately (items like the Color Wheel which requires a tube) and will note that on your order. 

In Stock, Out of Stock, and Backstock Items 

  • In stock means we have the product and can ship it. 
  • Out of stock means that we do not have the product, and are not expecting more in the near future. Seasonal items are often restocked when we receive our next year’s shipment. This happens mostly with one-of-a-kind items, dye seeds or seasonal dyes. 
  • Backstock means that it is temporarily out of stock but we are expecting more. If you have multiple items in your order, we will often ship the in stock items to you as soon as possible and send the backstocked item when it becomes available.
