RETURN POLICY

We inspect every item before it is shipped out. Battery-operated items are tested and only shipped if they are in working order. However, if a battery-operated item fails to work within 30 days from date of purchase, we will gladly replace it or exchange it for a different item. If returning an item through the mail, you must contact us before returning that item. When returning a defective item, please make sure it is clean and include the original packaging (if you still have it). We cannot accept returns on items that have been damaged by the customer (i.e. cracked, ripped or broken). If there is visible damage on a product that is returned for being defective, we will not be able to accept it. We cannot issue any refunds. We also cannot accept any book or DVD returns.

To protect the health and safety of our customers, we cannot accept any returns on any non-defective merchandise.

Please shop carefully and contact us with any questions you have before placing your order. When checking out via our website, you are agreeing to our return policy.

SHIPPING OPTIONS

All orders are shipped out as soon as possible, usually within two business days. While we make every effort to insure that all items on the website are in stock, from time to time an item that you ordered may be temporarily unavailable. If that is the case, we will notify you via e-mail as soon as possible and you will have an opportunity to change or cancel your order.

You can select to have your order shipped via USPS Priority Mail or UPS at checkout. All orders going to a P.O. box will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail, as UPS does not deliver to P.O. boxes. Also, we will ship all orders to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and APO/AE addresses via Priority Mail as well, even if you select UPS.

UPS will return packages to us after they make three delivery attempts and USPS will return packages that are unclaimed. If a package is returned to us and we have to reship it, the customer is charged for the reshipping, even if they have selected free shipping on the original order. If a customer decides that they do not want their order shipped again, it can be picked up at the shop or the order can be refunded (minus shipping charges and a 10% re-stocking fee).

Orders are shipped in plain brown (or recycled) boxes that have a return address of ETB and no indication of the items contained inside.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

If you live outside the US we are happy to ship orders internationally, but additional shipping charges are added to our normal shipping rate:

For orders to Canada:
$8.00 is added to the normal shipping charges and we ship items via The United States Postal Service. You can expect your order to arrive in 6-10 days, but because customs has the right to detain packages for as long as they want, we cannot say for certain how long it will take to arrive and the usps.com tracking system is often not updated regularly. For all orders leaving the US, we cannot consider the package lost or missing until it has been 30 days since the shipment was sent.

For all other orders outside of the US:
An additional $18.00 is added to the normal shipping cost and items are shipped via The United States Postal Service. You can expect your order to arrive in 1-3 weeks, although it may take as long as four weeks to arrive because customs has the right to detain packages for as long as they want, Please note that the usps.com tracking system is often not updated regularly. For all orders leaving the US, we cannot consider the package lost or missing until it has been 30 days since the shipment was sent.

For all International orders, please read this carefully:

We will be as discreet as possible on customs labels indicating the contents as “plastic toy”, “novelty item” “silicone molding” or “body lotion”, but we are required to indicate the contents inside. It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure that items being shipped are legal in your area. Your phone number will also show up on the outside of your package as that information is required by our postal service in order to ship any packages outside of the US.

We cannot be held responsible for anything that is confiscated by customs. We also are not responsible for any taxes, tariffs or duties that are levied. We are unable to process refunds for items seized by customs. Orders can take up to four weeks to arrive.

We will not process any international orders that do not have the same billing and shipping addresses.We do not ship incomplete international orders, so if part of your order is out of stock, we’ll notify you and hold the order until it is complete.

All international orders are placed at the recipient’s risk.
