Policies

Shipping

Please allow 3-5 days for orders to be prepared and shipped. Shipping time will be longer for custom orders, or during times of restocking.

*Shipping Rates

FREE Shipping available in the United States (excluding Hawaii and Alaska):

For orders over $75, shipping and handling is FREE (except for Heavy Orders as described below).

For orders under $75, there is a flat rate $8.95 shipping & handling charge.

*Heavy Items
Please be aware that if you order very heavy items, such as the large sizes (i.e. 2 or 5 lb) of our Sacred Nature Apiary Raw Honey, we will charge you the actual cost to ship your package. This allows us to offer FREE shipping for the vast majority of our orders.

*International, Hawaii, Alaska Orders

For all orders to be shipped outside the continental United States, we will only charge you the actual cost of shipping by the US Postal Service’s Global Airmail. You may request a different shipping carrier or service at the time you place your order.

In order to charge you for the true cost of shipping, you will see two separate charges on your credit card bill. The first charge will be for your merchandise purchased. The second charge will be the actual cost to ship your order.

A word about the cost of shipping: Those orders that are small, light, or to be sent to an address nearer to the US will cost less to ship; orders that are bigger, heavier, or to be sent farther will cost more to ship. We are always careful to package your order to take up as little space and weight as possible, while still ensuring that your items will arrive safely.


*Questions About Your Order

Sacra Natura LLC is committed to your complete satisfaction. The easiest, most efficient way to contact us concerning any issues with your order is via e-mail to sacra.natura.balms@gmail.com. Please include your name and daytime phone number. You can expect a reply from us within 24 to 48 hours.


*Backorders

If we backorder items from your order, we will ship you those items as soon as they are completed. Please remember that everything is made by us and in small batches, so if supplies are needed then we are at the mercy of other companies' shipment policies. In case of longer than normal out of stocks (see below), you will be advised by Customer Service of an extended wait & asked if you would still like the item. *For backorders, you pay no shipping charge.

Something to keep in mind if your item has been backordered:

Surrounded by shortcuts and convenience, it is easy to forget that herbs have growing seasons. If there is high enough demand for (as an example) eyebright herb and all of our vendors are out of stock, we sometimes have to wait until the next crop has been harvested before more of the herb is available anywhere in the US. Or, if we run out of an herb that we harvest ourselves, such as elderberry, then we will be out of stock until the next season. *SO, always order while you can.


*Order Changes or Cancellations

Since our orders are usually shipped within 3-5 days, if you would like to make changes to your order, please call or email between 10am and 2pm the day you place your order, or the next business day (Monday through Sunday). We will do our best to accommodate your change requests, within reason.

Return Policy

If for any reason you are not completely happy with the products you have received, we offer a full money-back guarantee for all qualifying* unopened products returned within 60 days of the date you were charged for your items. For opened products, we offer a full money-back guarantee within 30 days of the date you were charged for your items.

We do not charge a restocking fee, and we will not question your reason for returning the item. We do appreciate an explanation if you are comfortable providing one, as it helps us to improve the quality of our services and products. No matter the explanation, it will not affect the status of your return.

When we receive your return, we will refund you the full amount of your purchase. This refund does not include shipping charges unless there is an error on our part.

Due to the nature of international shipping, we are unable to accept returns for items that we have shipped beyond US borders.
*we are unable to accept returns on bulk herbs, bulk spices, bulk teas, or bulk d.i.y. supplies (carrier oils, butters, clay, etc...)

How do we protect visitor information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be only accessed as stated above.

Do we use "cookies"?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting customer service.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include Sacra Natura. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
