♥ PRODUCT FAQs ♥

❓Are your keychains HANDMADE?
Yes, we purchase the beads, key rings and stainless steel engraveable charms, then we custom engrave the charm using our laser engraving machine, thread the bead string, and assemble the design to your specifications on site after you place the order.

❓ What MATERIALS are used to make your keychains?
Stainless steel and a combination of glass beads, imitation pearls and natural stone beads.

❓Can I CUSTOMIZE my order?
Yes, in several ways:
- The listing includes a custom engraved charm. We will engraved your personalized message or a simple custom graphic onto that charm. All engravings are done in black.
- We can engrave the reverse side of the charm for a fee. You can use this listing to add it to your order: https://etsy.me/3lg8ljJ
- We can create a custom bead string using your choice of the beads. See our bead string option photos of the various beads we have available. Make sure to tell us what order you'd like the beads strung in from top to bottom.

❓Can the keychain get WET?
Yes, the keychain can get wet by rain or clean water. However, it should not be exposed to chlorine, salt water or water with cleaners or other chemicals.

❓Will the keychain TARNISH?
Stainless steel does not tarnish. However, the surface can scratch, and become smudged from finger prints, which can be wiped off easily.

❓What if my keychain BREAKS?
As long as you’re not tugging at it unnecessarily hard, it should not break. However, if it does, please contact us for a potential replacement.

❓Do you sell wholesale or offer BULK DISCOUNTS for large orders?
We sure do. Send us a message that includes the following: the specifics of the keychain design (ex. bead design(s), engraving), how many keychains you need, when you need them by, and where we would be shipping to. With that information, I can provide you an accurate quote and expected time frame.

♥ DELIVERY FAQs ♥

❓When will my order ship?
- If you purchased between Thursday at 11am PST and Saturday ay 11:59pm PST, your order will likely go out on Monday.
- If you purchased between Sunday and Tuesday at 10:59am PST, your order will likely go out on Tuesday*.
- If you purchased between Tuesday at 11am PST and Thursday at 10:59am, your order will likely go out on Thursday**.
- Weeks with holidays may differ.
- Occasionally our shipping days will vary depending on scheduling conflicts.
*On slower weekends, we can often send out some or all of Sunday's orders on Monday.
**On slower weekdays, we may send out orders that come in after 11am PST that same day.

❓What kind of shipping box or envelope do you use?
For most orders, we use standard kraft bubble mailer envelopes. For larger bulk orders, we typically use small shipping box. For jewelry boxes and trays, we use shipping boxes.

❓The tracking shows that my package is delivered, but was is not.
Not to worry just yet. This is a common issue. We find that this happens around one or two times per week. In almost all cases, the item will be delivered with 7 days of the erroneous "delivered" notification. If it has not, please contact us.

❓My parcel has not arrived and the delivery window has passed.
The estimated delivery window is an estimate based on the shipping companies' typical delivery timeframes. But delays may occur for many reasons:
- Weather-related events or disasters -- such as snow, flooding, hurricanes, forest fires -- may prevent passage temporarily on some routes.
- Busy time of year: You may have purchased near popular gifting occasions (such as Christmas, Mother's Day, etc) where more mail is moving through the system than usual, causing a backlog.
- Political decisions (for example, the Trump tariffs) that affect mail movement.
- Your parcel may have hopped on the wrong truck and travelled in the wrong direction. For orders with tracking, check to see if there are still tracking updates within the last couple of days (that's a good sign that it is not lost, just delayed).

❓My parcel never arrived, please reship/refund me.
As part of our shop policies, we always allow 30 days from the shipment date for delayed parcels shake loose. Over the years we have found that about 9 times out 10, those delayed parcels wind up arriving around the 28 to 30-day mark. Too often, we have prematurely reshipped or refunded only to have both parcels reach the customer. If you still have not received your parcel after 30 days from the shipment date, please contact us for next steps.
