Shipping
Your item will be carefully packed in a sturdy box. I do not skimp on packing materials. For special shipping needs, please contact me.

International Buyers
Fragrance products can be shipped internationally via the following reputable international package-forwarding services: Stackry or Aramex (or a service of your choice). To use either recommended service, please visit the applicable website (or download the app), open an account, and register your international address. You will then receive a US address and account number to input at eBay checkout. Both services ship packages in lots (versus individually) to help offset high international transportation costs; so, it will take approximately three to four weeks to receive your package. As a courtesy, I will mail your fragrance purchase for free (with tracking) to the US address you specified during checkout.

Return Policy
My goal is for you to be pleased with your experience. Please contact me via eBay’s messaging system and I will take proper care of you. To qualify for a full refund, the seller must receive the returned item in the exact condition in which the seller originally sent the item. Returns with usage, damage, or leakage caused by the buyer (i.e. ruined boxes and/or labels; broken or tampered-with cording, stoppers, and/or seals) do not qualify for a full refund. In the extremely rare instance where the seller has reason to believe the original contents were either altered or removed/replaced by the buyer then no refund will be provided. Buyers who abuse the return policy or falsify item condition will be blocked from future transactions and reported to eBay.
