Our Policies Mission: It is our goal to ensure you are totally satisfied with each and every item you purchase from us, and to that end, the following are SpiritRock Shop's operating procedures. We are NOT professional geologists nor do we claim to be "experts" in the field of rocks and minerals. We are experienced rock hounds with over 35 years experience. We do the best we can. If you know something we don't or we have stated something incorrectly, we are happy to receive your input, just e-mail us at spiritrock@lasvegas.net We will never "over-describe" any item or present photos which hide imperfections or make the item look different than it does in real life. We may take some photos with the item "wet" to show color definition or what a polished appearance would be like. We will state in our description "Item Shown Wet" if we picture the specimen wet. In most cases photos are taken under natural sunlight or in our photo booth with "daylight" lamps. Our fluorescent photos are taken under a "Way Too Cool" Triple Wave UV light. Some photos are taken with flash on to get an accurate photo. We photograph our specimens with a Nikon Coolpix L1 camera or a Nikon Coolpix L110. Unless listed with "Quantity Available", all items sold are "One of a Kind" and are not available in quantities of more than (1) one. In the unlikely event you are not happy with the item you purchase, a full refund will be issued (minus shipping costs) if you notify us within 7 days of receipt of the item AND return the item un-damaged to us. Rocks and Minerals are " Found " items and as such are not museum quality perfect. Specimens have naturally occurring flaws or faults due to the nature of each type of specimen. We will always try to describe the specimen accurately, including the natural faults, chips etc. Shipping (USA Only) ALL USA orders are normally shipped insured USPS Priority Mail. We automatically combine shipping for multiple purchases. Shipping charges are based on weight. Items that are too large or cost prohibitive for Priority Mail shipment will be sent UPS Ground. We do charge a packing materials / handling fee starting at $3.00 per shipment to pay for the costs of packing materials and shipping costs. Actual Shipping Costs will be clearly displayed on all USPS shipping labels We have included insurance in the purchase and shipping price. Every item shipped is carefully packed. We normally ship an item within 2 days of payment clearing. Holidays and weekends may extend the packing and shipping times, but we try to ship as quickly as possible. (we know you want it quickly!) We cannot be responsible for delays in delivery caused by USPS or delays caused by incorrect address information from purchaser. Please include correct mailing address with payment. Shipping (International) ALL International orders are normally shipped insured USPS International Priority Mail. We automatically combine shipping for multiple purchases. Shipping charges are based on weight. The shipping box size selections are limited to Small Flat Rate Box, (basically 1 lb or less-- 5 5/8 x 8 5/8 x 1 5/8 inches) Medium Flat Rate Box, (Basically up 6 lbs --11 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches) and Large Flat Rate Box (Basically up to 10 lbs -- 12 x 12 x 5.5 inches) If it fits while being safely packaged we will use the smallest box possible and will refund any excess shipping charges. We will charge $3.00 packing materials fee and insurance for each shipment (already included in the shipping fees) Customs forms will be attached to your shipment. All items are listed as merchandise, we do not ship as gifts. Check with your countries laws as you may be subject to customs fees or other entrance fees by your country Payments We accept PayPal ( Credit Cards or Checks through PayPal ) We have found PayPal to be the safest method of payment for both purchaser and seller! Purchases made online via PayPal will be honored based on "First Come...First Served" basis. It is possible for two or more purchasers to purchase an item before the item is marked "SOLD" and no longer available for purchase. In this event the purchaser who purchased the item first will be honored, and purchasers whose transactions occurred after the initial purchase will receive a full 100% refund via PayPal Money Orders or Cashiers Checks are also accepted Please e-mail us your purchase item name and item # and we will "reserve" it until Money order or Cashiers check is received. We DO NOT accept payment by credit card except through PayPal Sales Taxes We do not charge sales tax on orders that are shipping outside the state of Nevada. Sales tax for orders shipped within the state of Nevada are at the prevailing rates, currently 8.100% Privacy Policy What information do we collect?
