Shipping & Returns
Shipping
We carefully package your doll to ensure it reaches you safely. Orders are shipped from Canada using trusted carriers. Delivery times may vary depending on your location.
Shipping costs are included in the purchase price. Please note that international shipments may be subject to customs duties, taxes, or VAT(Value Added Tax) in your country, which are the responsibility of the recipient. High-value dolls, such as those valued at 5000 CAD, may incur significant import charges depending on the destination country.
Local Pickup Option
If you prefer, you may arrange to pick up your doll in Halifax, Nova Scotia directly from the artist. However, if you plan to take the doll across an international border, customs duties or taxes may still apply according to the regulations of the destination country. For high-value dolls, these charges can be substantial. International customers should check and be aware of potential fees before receiving their doll.
Safe Shipping for High-Value Dolls
Solaciel dolls are high-value handcrafted items. To ensure safe delivery, we use trusted carriers (such as FedEx or Canada Post) with the following measures:
- Careful and secure packaging, including cushioning and sturdy boxes.
- Declared Value and insurance coverage to protect against loss or damage during shipping.
- Accurate customs documentation (Commercial Invoice and Packing List) to avoid delays or issues at the border.
- Tracking and signature-required delivery for peace of mind for both the customer and the artist.
These steps ensure that your doll arrives safely while complying with international shipping regulations.
Important for international customers: Even though the product price and shipping cost are paid at the time of purchase, import duties, taxes, or VAT are determined by your country's customs at the time of delivery. High-value dolls, such as those valued at 5000 CAD, may incur substantial import charges. These fees are the responsibility of the recipient and are typically collected by the carrier upon delivery.
Returns and Repairs
Your doll is shipped in perfect condition. However, if you notice any defect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery so we can assist you promptly.
As long as I am actively creating dolls, repairs for natural aging or wear are available for the cost of shipping only. Repairs due to accidental damage, water exposure, or stains caused by food may incur a repair fee. In such cases, please provide details about the damage so we can assess the necessary repair work.
