Shipping options and costs
Your shipping options and costs depend on where you live and the size of your order, and you'll see them at checkout before you pay. Depending on your location, options can include standard and expedited shipping. Free shipping is available on qualifying orders; if your order qualifies, it will show at checkout.
Carriers and tracking
We ship with USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL, depending on your location and the shipping method you choose. Once your order is on its way, we'll email you a tracking link so you can follow it to your door.
Lost or delayed packages
We do our best to make sure every order arrives on time. If your package is lost, we'll refund it. Please email us if you think your package has gone missing.
Returns
Returning an item
You can return an item within 30 days of purchase. To be eligible, it needs to be unused, in the same condition you received it, and in its original packaging. Please include your receipt or proof of purchase.
To start a return, email us at support@silentmindbowls.com with your order number, and we'll let you know where to send it. Please don't send your item back to the manufacturer.
Return shipping
Return shipping is paid by you, and shipping costs are not refundable. If you're returning an item worth more than $75, we recommend a trackable shipping service or shipping insurance, as we can't guarantee that we'll receive your return.
Refunds
When your return arrives, we'll inspect it and email you to let you know whether your refund has been approved. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method.
Items that aren't in their original condition, or are damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error, may receive a partial refund.
If your refund hasn't appeared yet, please check with your bank or card provider first, as it can take a little time to post. If you still can't see it, email us and we'll look into it.
Gifts
If the item was marked as a gift when it was bought and shipped directly to you, you'll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. If it wasn't marked as a gift, or the giver had it shipped to themselves first, the refund goes to the person who bought it.
Items we can't take back
Gift cards and downloadable products, such as eBooks and audio tracks, can't be returned.
Damaged or defective items
We pack every bowl carefully. If yours arrives defective or damaged, email us at support@silentmindbowls.com with your order number and a photo within 30 days of delivery, and we'll send you a replacement free of charge.
If you receive something you didn't order, please email us with your order number so we can look into it with you.
