Returns + Shipping
Your satisfaction is important to us we hope that your Sweet Sisters products will exceed your expectations. Please remember that all of our products are handmade and although we strive for consistency, there will be some variance from batch to batch. In addition to the natural variances in raw materials, such as plant butters and essential oils, I love to find ways to make each product even better, batch to batch, whether it be in texture, performance or scent. This is the wonderful creative freedom that small-batch provides! So, we want you to know that we reserve the right to “tweak” products by adding a few more drops of this, or a different herb in that, changing an oil or a butter percentage if that makes the product feel and perform better. (There may sometimes be a small lag in updating the ingredient list on the website, but please know that the product retains its active function and effectiveness and that the label on the bottle accurately reflects the ingredients therein.) If you require that the ingredients in the products you order are EXACTLY as written on the website, please contact us before purchasing. If you are not happy with the quality of our products or find them to be defective in any way, please contact us HERE so that we may assist you in the return of your product(s). We will gladly accept the return of any unsatisfactory product if received back in our offices within ten (10) days of delivery. Once we receive your return, we will issue a credit to our website for the initial purchase price. The credit may be used for any item from our website within one year of issue and you are free to select any item(s) of your choosing. Please note that we do not offer credit back to your charge card. We recommend you use a carrier, such as USPS or UPS so your package can be easily tracked. If you use USPS to return an item we recommend you send it via Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation and free $50 Insurance. We cannot accept responsibility for returned items that have been lost or misplaced by the post office. If you would like to return a product due to incompatibility with your unique skin, or if you would like to exchange a product for a different scent or type, we ask that you instead give it to a willing friend or family member. Due to the handmade nature our products, we cannot in good conscience re-sell your returned product(s).
Order Processing
Most orders are processed and shipped within 3 days of receiving your order. During peak holiday seasons or around special occasions, it may take up to 10 business days (beginning the day after you place your order) to be processed and packaged for shipping. In order to maintain maximum freshness and shelf life for our products, we do not carry large amounts of inventory and in some cases, the preparations are made to order. This can add a few extra days to the order processing time. On rare occasions, ingredients required for a “made-to-order” product are out of stock and there may be an additional week or so to complete your order. We will ALWAYS notify you if your order cannot be processed and shipped within 7 business days. Secure Online Ordering All online orders are processed securely with minimum 256 bit encryption. When you submit your order, you will receive an email acknowledgment letting you know that your order was received. If you do not receive this initial email confirmation then most likely your order was not successfully submitted. Please try your order again.
