Defective replacements
If your item was defective or damaged in any way, we are happy to send you a replacement.
Go to the Return Portal and process a return with the reason being "item was damaged."
Lost pieces, charms, etc.
We understand that occasionally you may lose a charm or have a bead fall off. We certainly want you to love your item and yet we are not responsible for the typical wear of the item.
Please contact us and explain your situation. We may opt to send you the charm or bead complimentary and ask that you assist with the postage fee of $4.50.
Delivery delays
“I need to return this because it got here too late for the event I needed it for.”
We understand how important it is to receive your jewelry in a timely fashion. We ask that you consider us your partner in doing everything possible to get your package to you as quickly as possible. We wish we had super-powers to avoid any delays. But can only promise to help you as much as we can in whatever the situation is with your package.
If you have received your item, but it is no longer needed due to a late delivery your return due to postal delays is the same as a regular return. Please go to the Return Portal and choose the "arrived late" reason for the return.
Delivery delays & order status
“My package is delayed. I want a refund.”
All carriers are experiencing delays at all times of the year. These are our best tips and some insight as to when and how we respond to the delays.
- If your package is delayed and the tracking information says “IN TRANSIT, ARRIVING LATE” your package is not considered lost, but just delayed.
- We reserve the right to choose to send a replacement --or not, depending on what the USPS updates say. Oftentimes during holiday season sending a second package only clogs up the backlog of mail more—it doesn’t arrive any sooner.
- If we opt to send a second shipment the customer will be responsible for returning the first shipment when it arrives. You may wish to add a faster delivery method, depending on your timeline.
- Please double check your address to ensure the fastest delivery.
Regarding refunds, if your package is delayed more than 14 days due to postal setbacks, please feel free to communicate with us and we will do our best to help in any way we can.
We do not provide refunds when a package is delayed and the USPS Tracking information says “In Transit, Arriving Late” other messages, or even no tracking information for up to 2 weeks. This is all normal for the USPS.
Rather, we may opt to provide you with a Gutsy Goodness shop credit for you to order a replacement item and you would be responsible for any shipping upgrades.
