Returns & Refunds Policy

Last updated: (11/17/2025)

Because every piece in my shop is one-of-a-kind and handmade (and many include real insects), I do not accept general returns or exchanges.

However, I do want you to feel happy and cared for, so here is how I handle issues:

🪲 All Sales Are Final

Please read item descriptions carefully before purchasing.
I do not accept returns or refunds for:

  • Change of mind

  • “Not what I expected”

  • Accidentally ordering the wrong item

  • Minor natural imperfections

Every insect and handmade element has its own quirks — that’s part of the beauty.

📦 If Your Item Arrives Damaged

If something arrives broken or crushed during shipping:

  1. Email me within 48 hours of delivery

  2. Include:

    • Your order number

    • Photos of the item and the packaging

  3. I will work with you to offer:

    • A repair (if possible)

    • A partial refund

    • Or a replacement piece if I have something comparable

I may ask you to send the item back before issuing a refund or replacement.

🌿 About Imperfections

My work often includes:

  • Fragile insect wings

  • Natural inconsistencies between specimens

  • Hand-applied materials like resin, glass, dried flowers, and paint

Slight imperfections, uneven antennae, or tiny chips are not considered damage — they are part of the handmade nature of my art.

I believe art doesn’t need to be factory-perfect to be worth loving.

⚠️ Lost or Stolen Packages

Once a package is marked delivered, I am unable to replace or refund lost or stolen orders.

If a package is marked in transit but not moving, contact me, I will help you open a USPS inquiry.

Cancellations

Orders may be canceled within 24 hours if they have not shipped.
After that, they are final.
