Selling Other Products and Price Point:
We DO allow you to sell other brands of jewelry and accessories along side of our products. Like we have said before, this is YOUR business and YOU run it the way you want to.

Returns, Cancellations and Claims:
In the event that you need to submit a claim or have a question regarding an order please email carolinacountrybling@gmail.com or contact us here. The subject must include your order number and name.
If you are submitting a claim for a broken piece please include a picture of the piece. Please note that this must be done within 24hrs of the delivery date. All emails will be answered within 24hrs.
We will only accept returns on approval. You MUST email us before returning any item to receive a Return Authorization Number (RA#). In the event of a return, we will ONLY issue a store credit. We do not offer cash refunds. If you have a problem with an item, please let us know and we will do our best to provide an amicable solution.
We also charge a 15% re-stock fee on ALL returns and cancellations. We will deduct any missing items from your return as well as any broken pieces. In the event we do accept a refund request you MUST state a valid reason for requesting a refund and return your order for any type of refund. You must return your ENITRE order to receive a PARTIAL refund. You are responsible for all shipping fees (including return shipping) and we do NOT refund any shipping fees. Carolina Country Bling does not accept "test" orders nor sell on approval.
Broken Jewelry:
As we are sure that our Affiliate/Customers understand, during shipment it is always a possibility that a jump ring may come loose. This is NOT a defect. The jump rings can be reapplied with a pair of pliers. This does not warrant a refund or credit. You must report any defective/damaged/missing items within 24hrs of receipt.
Missing Jewelry:
We use a double check process to ensure all items you ordered are packed in your shipment. In RARE occurrences, an item may be missing from your shipment. Please double check all packing material to ensure no item(s) have been lodged inside of packaging.
Our policy is that the first time we will issue a store credit, because sometimes mistakes happen. However, we will not issue a store credit for a subsequent and future second claim of missing items. Why? because once you make a claim ALL your shipments are triple checked for accuracy. In the event you are positive we have made a second mistake, we require you to return your entire shipment and we will issue a refund (less shipping and return fee) and close your account.

We make no guarantee as to value, merchantability, profit or sales on any item. Unless otherwise noted, all items are fashion (also known as costume) jewelry, they are not 'real' gold or 'real' silver or "real" stones although those words may be used to indicate color and not material.
