STORE POLICIES & PROCEDURES

INTERCONTINENTAL SHIPPING

To maintain efficiencies, and provide the best services possible to all customers, international shipping costs will no longer be determined in advance for orders going to locations outside the United States or Canada.

• Orders with destinations outside the United States or Canada must be paid when submitted.
  
• Customers are notified of shipping cost after order has been shipped (Actual Shipping expense plus $1.50 Handling Charge).**
  
• Prompt reimbursement is appreciated.
  
• Shipping Service used: USPS First Class Mail International (Expedited Shipping & other carrier services are not available).
  
• Customs forms are appropriately completed
  
• We are not responsible for any import duties, fees or taxes due on any order.

Please Note: We no longer ship Dollhouse Kits, finished dollhouses, or dollhouse related structures; such as, room boxes, shadow boxes, or display cases outside the U.S. or Canada.

** Should any items be unavailable when your order is shipped, the amount paid for the item(s) will be deducted from the shipping amount due. If this amount exceeds the shipping cost, the difference will be refunded.

Shipping to locations outside of the United States or Canada can vary greatly. Shipping charges outside of the US & Canada are based on size and weight of the package shipped. Generally speaking, it is better to place larger orders so that you can offset the shipping charges. Small orders may be cost prohibitive when shipping charges are applied.

COMBINED SHIPPING

If multiple orders with same shipping address are received, we do our best to combine them during the packing/shipping process. However, we cannot guarantee the combination of such orders. If we are successful, we return any redundant shipping charges collected. This applies to all orders, whether received through this website, our Dollhouse Heaven website, or our eBay store. Please understand, with the volume of orders received through our internet stores, we must follow our procedures to remain as efficient as possible.

PAY PAL

When selecting Pay Pal as your preferred payment choice, you will be taken to Pay Pal's website, where you may securely complete your transaction. Although an order confirmation email is sent to you, Order Fulfillment Process does not begin until you have completed your Pay Pal process.

MONEY ORDERS

Payment is due within ten (10) days from the date of original purchase. Order Fulfillment Process does not begin until receipt of Money Order.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
Unfortunately, due to delays, servicing fees, and security issues, Money Orders are not accepted on International sales.

PERSONAL CHECKS

CREDIT CARDS

GIFT CARDS:
Gift Credit Cards are accepted. However, when ordering on line, credit card companies verify card validity by reviewing the Billing address entered with the card holder's address in their database. Since Gift Credit Cards typically have different address than your Billing address, approval is not likely. When using a Gift Credit Card, please complete your order using the "Call us" payment option, then give us a call to process the charge manually.

DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE USING CREDIT CARDS ONLINE? - NO PROBLEM:
While our web sites are completely secure, we certainly understand your concerns about purchasing over the internet. We have absolutely no problems with handling your credit card processing manually. Simply complete your order and select "Call us" as your payment option, then give us a call, during our business hours, at 800-543-9239, and we will complete your credit card transaction for you.

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Gift Certificates are the same as money...Your money! To protect our customers, an email will be sent to you within 24 hours of purchase, providing you with the Gift Certificate number which may be used on future purchases (please allow up to 48 hours if purchased on a weekend). If the Gift Certificate is ultimately intended for another person, you may print or forward our email containing your Gift Certificate number as you desire.

Discount Coupons not applicable on this item.

Terms and Conditions:

1. If an order exceeds the amount of the DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificate, a credit card will be required for the difference.

2. After completing a purchase, any unused balance will remain in your DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificate account for future purchases (the DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificate # will remain the same).

3. Lost, stolen or damaged Gift Certificates may be cancelled and replaced with a new Certificate in the amount of the then-remaining balance upon proof as required by DeJoux Miniatures. Contact DeJouxMiniatures.com Customer service for assistance at 1-800-354-9239.

4. DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificates are not redeemable on other web sites.

5. DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificates are redeemable in our brick & mortar store.

6. To check the balance of your DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificate, call 1-800-354-9239.

7. Not redeemable for cash.

8. DeJoux Miniatures Gift Certificates expire 1 year from the date of issue.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY

There is nothing more discouraging to us than disappointing our customers. Our website is updated daily from both local inventory, as well as the inventories from our major distributors. If listed, products are available at the time of our update.

On occasion, both our store and our suppliers can be temporarily out of stock on items you have ordered. When this occurs we ship those items which are available, advise our customers of the situation, and return the amount paid for the item(s), plus any applicable tax, to the customer’s credit card, or Pay Pal account, used when the original order was made. If unavailable items exceed 50% of total value for all items purchased, the original shipping charge is also refunded (US & Canada Only). In the case of Money Orders, a check is issued to the customer within 24 hours of shipment. Refund checks are mailed separately.

ORDER FULFILLMENT PROCESS

All orders are filled from either our Concord, NC facilities, or when economically feasible and/or in the best interest of our customers, we may retain our distributors to drop ship orders directly to our customers.

Please understand, we offer over 28,000 miniatures on our website, and frequently add new lines of miniatures for you to enjoy. While our inventory is significant, we cannot house all items locally. To reduce order fulfillment time as much as possible, we replenish our inventory daily, and it may take a couple of business days to receive, sort, pack, and ship your order. Other factors may also affect shipment time, such as coordinating certain products from multiple sources. We ask for a bit of understanding and patience in those situations where our inventory may be low or exhausted on some items. Depending on when your order is placed, relative to when our store orders are made, the process could extend shipment timing several business days. Holidays and weekends may also affect shipping time.

BACK-ORDERS

RETURNS

Missing or damaged pieces do not constitute a return. If you have purchased an item and found some pieces missing or damaged, we will be happy to replace them at no cost to you. There is no need to return the item. In order to ensure you receive the correct replacement(s), please provide the item number, description, and quantity of missing/damaged item(s). You can either email the information to sales@dejouxminiatures.com.com or call us at 800-354-9239 9AM – 5PM EST Monday – Saturday.

We accept returns within 30 days from the date of shipment. All items must be new, unopened and returned in their original packaging.

We cannot accept returns of “Bargains Galore” or closeout items, catalogs or books.

If your original purchase qualified for FREE shipping and you choose to return any part or all of your order, you will be responsible for the original shipping, as well as the return shipping costs. All returns must be sent PREPAID – NO COD’s ACCEPTED. You are responsible for the product until it reaches our warehouse. All returns should be sent to:
DeJoux Miniatures
Returns Dept.
2018 Quail Drive
Concord, NC 28027.

RESTOCKING FEE

Controlled inventory management is essential to efficient and cost effective operations. For the benefit of all customers, we must manage space limitations and inventory carefully. A 20% restocking fee will apply to all products returned; and, orders cancelled after Order Fulfillment Process has begun.

PRODUCT GUARANTEE

Dejoux Miniatures is dedicated to bringing you quality items at the best prices, and we stand behind our products 100%. If you are not satisfied with your order, unopened boxes may be returned within 30 days of our original shipping date for an exchange or credit for the cost of the item. Shipping costs cannot be reimbursed, so please be aware if you are purchasing a product with “Free Shipping”, the actual shipping costs will be deducted from your return. We do not accept C.O.D.

We cannot accept returns of “Bargains Galore” or closeout items, catalogs or books.
