Shipping, Refunds & Policy

RETURN POLICY

Return & Refund Policy Last Updated: March 2025

At Zen eARTh Studios, we want you to love your purchase. Since our items are original handmade artworks, ceramics, jewelry, and limited-edition pieces, we have a limited return policy to protect the integrity of each creation.

Eligibility for Returns

  • You may request a return or exchange within 14 days of receiving your order (for original artwork, prints, or other eligible items).

  • Items must be unused, in the same condition as received, with all original packaging, tags, and certificates of authenticity (if provided).

  • Due to the custom, handmade, and artistic nature of our products (including paintings, gilded works, ceramics, and jewelry), we do not accept returns on:

    • Custom or commissioned pieces

    • Personalized items

    • Final sale items (noted as such at checkout)

    • Items damaged due to customer misuse or improper handling

How to Initiate a Return

  1. Contact us within the 14-day window at zenearthstudios@gmail.com or text 808-283-7319 with your order number, photos of the item/packaging, and reason for return.

  2. We will provide instructions and (if approved) a return shipping label or address (our studio is in Kansas City, Missouri).

  3. Ship the item back using a trackable method. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility unless the item is defective, damaged during shipping, or not as described.

  4. Once received and inspected, we will notify you and process a refund (to original payment method) or exchange within 7–10 business days.

Refunds

  • Refunds cover the item price only (original shipping fees are non-refundable).

  • If approved for return due to our error (e.g., wrong item shipped or damage in transit), we will cover return shipping and refund the full amount including original shipping.

  • Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank/credit card issuer.

Damaged or Defective Items If your item arrives damaged or is materially different from the description, please contact us immediately (within 7 days of delivery) with photos. We will arrange a replacement or full refund at no extra cost to you.
