Package Tracking and Undelivered Shipments:

When your order is shipped (generally within 1 business day), we will complete your order in our system and you will receive an automated e-mail that your item has been shipped with your tracking number. You can also find this information on our website by logging in with your user ID/password and clicking on the Order History Link. It is YOUR responsibility to track your package and plan for its arrival. If your order does not arrive, then we adhere to the following process.

First, we will track your package to determine its status. If the package has not been delivered according to the carrier (i.e. UPS, USPS, etc), we will either contact the Carrier to determine its true status, or advise you to contact them to provide additional information (sometimes it is clear that they need additional information on your location to complete delivery).

If the Carrier indicates that the order has been successfully delivered, then we will initiate a trace of the delivery. A trace sends the driver out to the delivery location to verify the address where the package was left. A trace takes 1-3 business days to complete. About 80% of the time a problem is discovered that results in correct delivery of the original shipment.

Once a trace is complete, either the original shipment will have been delivered to you, or it will be declared lost or damaged by the carrier. If the shipment is lost or damaged, we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you. If the shipment is determined to have been correctly delivered to the address by the Carrier, then we will do the following based on the shipping method you selected:

No Signature Requested (our default shipping method) - If you did not add a note to your order requesting signature, then we cannot reship your order. In these instances, your package has essentially been stolen or is otherwise missing, and we recommend you follow-up with the carrier and your local authorities.

Signature Requested - If you requested that signature be required upon delivery of your package (read shipping methods above for instructions), then we will file a claim and re-ship your order at no cost to you once we have received verification of the shipment status from the Carrier.

The vast majority of our shipments arrive at the destination without any incident. We ship tens of thousands of orders each year and have very few problems with deliveries. We are spelling out these policies to make our customers aware of our process for handling delivery disputes. This policy is required because of experiences we have had with customers who live in high risk areas, but do not take the proper steps to ensure the safe receipt of their order.

Back Orders:

We do our best to avoid back orders. In some instances, an item may go out of stock before we have an opportunity to update our website. We also may be notified of backorders or product discontinuance from our many manufacturers that can have an effect on orders placed within our online shopping system.

If a back order does occur, our Orders Department will contact you and advise you if and when the item will be back in stock. If we do not hear back from you within a few days of contacting you we will process you order as is. We do not hold any orders (unless otherwise noted) while awaiting for your backordered items to arrive. You order will be fulfilled with the items that are in stock and when the backordered items arrive back in stock we will process the reminder of the order. If the item does not arrive from our supplier within a few week time frame (or the time frame we specified to you) - we will either issue you a "credit to your AW account" or a issue you "full refund" for the backordered item(s). We will not accept any pre-orders for out of stock items.

We "do not" accept any returns of items that can be tampered with (oils, perfumes, spell kits, teas, herbs, bath items, etc.), books, cloaks, or sealed items that have already been opened.

Returned items must be returned in new and unused condition, in the original boxes and with all paperwork (includes warranties), parts and accessories to insure credit back to your Ancient Wisdoms account.

"New and unused" means that there are no scratches, marks, or blemishes on the item; there are no signs of wear on the product, the tags, or the case; and the product must not have been sized or altered in any way. We cannot accept a return of any item with any indication that it has been used. In addition, returned items must be accompanied by their original documentation. All items properly returned under this policy are eligible for a refund or a store credit.
