We take pride in our product and delivery. If any item in your order arrives damaged or incomplete, please contact us at support(at)beadsinc.com. We will work with you to make things right! 

 

LOST PACKAGES:

All packages will have a tracking number. If your package tracking number said it was delivered, but you have not received your package, we recommend the following:

1) Check with your neighbors.

2) If you live in a condo/apartment, check with your doorman, office, the mailroom.

3) Still can't find it? Talk to your mailman. They may remember the package! 

4) File a claim with USPS (or other carrier).

Once the package leaves our store and is marked as delivered, we cannot be responsible for the order.
