Return Policy
Returns & Refunds
Every order placed with The Beauty Way is packed by hand. If something arrives damaged, incorrect, or not as described, that gets made right — always, regardless of product type. This page explains exactly what can be returned, what can't, and how long you have.
Handcrafted crystal jewelry — 30-day returns
Wire-wrapped pieces may be returned within 30 days of delivery. To qualify, the piece must be: Unworn and undamaged, in its original condition Returned in its original packaging Accompanied by proof of purchase (order number or receipt)
Refund method: your choice of a refund to the original payment method or store credit.
Return method: return by mail. Contact us first to open a return — instructions and the return address are issued by email. Do not ship anything back before receiving return authorization; unauthorized returns cannot be matched to your order.
Return shipping cost: the customer pays the cost of return postage on change-of-mind returns. The Beauty Way pays the cost of return shipping when the item is damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original outbound shipping charges are non-refundable except where the error was ours.
Restocking fee: none.
Refund processing time: refunds are issued within 3–5 business days of the returned piece arriving and passing inspection.
Custom and personalized jewelry: pieces wrapped to order for one person are final sale and cannot be returned, unless they arrive damaged or defective.
Salves, oxymels & botanical products — final sale
Botanical preparations are non-returnable and non-refundable. Per Vermont Consumer Protection Rule CP 106, we cannot accept returns on perishable items, food, or items that by law cannot be resold due to health risks. Once a jar or bottle leaves our hands, its storage conditions cannot be verified, and no product that may have been opened or temperature-exposed will be resold to another person. This exclusion does not apply to items that arrive damaged, leaking, incorrect, or past their best-by date. Those are replaced or refunded in full — see Damaged, defective, or incorrect items below. Salves, herbs, and botanical products are for external or educational use only, as specified on the label. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Review the full ingredient list on the product page before ordering, particularly if you have known allergies or are pregnant or nursing, and consult a healthcare professional before use.
Digital downloads & virtual classes — final sale
All sales of digital products, including downloadable guides, e-books, and virtual classes, are final sale. By completing your purchase you acknowledge that you receive immediate access to the digital content and therefore waive any right to a refund.
Technical issues: if you cannot access or download your file, contact us within 14 days of purchase. We will provide a replacement file or an alternative access method so you receive the product you paid for.
Duplicate purchases: contact us within 14 days of an accidental duplicate purchase of the same digital product for manual review and refund of the duplicate charge.
Delivery: digital products are delivered to the email address provided at checkout. We are not responsible for delivery failures caused by an incorrect email address or spam filtering — contact us and we will resend.
License: purchase grants a single, non-transferable license for personal use. Files may not be redistributed, resold, or shared.
Energy support sessions
Sessions may be rescheduled at no cost with at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and no-shows, are non-refundable. Once a session has been delivered it is non-refundable. Unused sessions may be transferred to another person or held as credit, valid for five years from the date of issuance.
Damaged, defective, or incorrect items — all categories
This applies to every product sold, including items marked final sale. If your order arrives damaged, broken, leaking, defective, or is not what you ordered, contact us within 14 days of delivery with: Your order number A short description of the issue Photographs of the item and the packaging You will receive a replacement or a full refund — your choice, where a replacement is available. There is no return shipping cost to you, and in most cases the item will not need to be sent back. Please keep damaged goods and packaging until the claim is resolved. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you hold under Vermont or federal consumer protection law.
Store credit
Store credit issued for returns or exchanges is valid for not less than five years from the date of issuance, as required by 8 V.S.A. § 2702. The date of issuance and expiration date are stated on the credit itself.
Lost or undelivered orders
If tracking shows delivered but the package has not arrived, wait 48 hours (carriers occasionally scan early), check with neighbors and your building, then contact us. Packages confirmed lost in transit are replaced or refunded.
Order changes and cancellations
Orders may be changed or cancelled at no cost before they ship. Once a shipping label is created the order is in motion and the standard 30-day return process applies. Most orders ship within 1–2 business days, so please reach out quickly.
