Failure to Pick Up:
In the event you do not pick up your purchase during the designated dates and times (or make prior shipping arrangements), your item(s) will be considered abandoned. You therefore agree that the failure to receive any item(s) in the event of abandonment Does Not relieve your responsibility to pay for the item(s) or any other associated fees and applicable sales tax.
You hereby authorize Sunshine’s Emporium to charge your credit card for the purchase amount plus any fees and applicable sales tax and the buyer agrees they will not seek a refund or chargeback for any abandoned items.
Sunshine’s Emporium, may at its absolute sole discretion: dispose, donate the items to a charity of our choice, or resell any items deemed abandoned. Buyers who fail to pick up items, may also be banned from future sales.
Shipping:
We are not a shipping company. However, we are happy to ship small and medium items to all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, if the item(s) will fit safely in Priority Flat Rate packaging. Thus, large, super heavy and very fragile items will not be shipped.
All items are shipped through the USPS using 2-3 days Priority Mail. All packages will also include tracking, and insurance. You will receive an email with the tracking information once your item has shipped.
All items being shipped must have insurance. No exceptions. You must buy additional insurance if the value of your purchases exceeds the insurance offered and covered by the Priority Flat Rate. This will be included in the final total shipping cost.
If we are offering shipping for items, it will say so in the description. Otherwise, the items will be for local pickup only.
We can combine certain items for shipping. You will need to email us at first at SunshinesEmporiumES@gmail.com prior to purchasing multiple items to ensure they can be combined. Not all items will be able to be combined. Please note that shipping costs include handling, packing materials, postage, sales tax and insurance costs.
We do try to ship out as quickly as possible. But we ask that you please allow for up to 5 business days after payment and shipping fees have been received for items to be shipped. Once shipped you will receive an email with the tracking and insurance information.
Since all items are shipped completely insured, should any damage or loss occur to the items shipped, Sunshine’s Emporium is not responsible. Therefore, all insurance claims should be handled through the carrier (USPS) directly and NOT through your credit card company.
***All Sales are As-Is and Final. No Refunds, No Exchanges, No Returns.***
If you have any questions about these terms and conditions, please contact us prior to making a purchase. Thank you.
