ORDERING
 
Orders may be placed through our shopping cart, via e-mail, fax @ (866) 845-6315,
regular mail or telephone @ (717) 505-8515. Please note that certain specials and
discounts apply only to orders placed through our website.
 
Please be sure all payment and shipping information is accurate.
If a shipment is made to an incorrect address supplied by the customer,
the customer is responsible for reshipping costs if the shipment is returned to us. 
 
Harmony Bath and Body relies on e-mail contact to process online orders.
If a customer fails to provide a valid e-mail address with an online order,
the order will be canceled.
 
We apologize, but we are unable to ship internationally at this time.
 
We have altered our policy regarding shipping to P.O. Boxes. 
We will now ship to valid U.S. post office boxes via USPS Priority Mail.
 
ACCEPTED FORMS OF PAYMENT
 
We currently accept the following forms of payment:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, checks and money orders.
IMPORTANT NOTE: American Express and Discover charges will not run through our website.
Please select Check as your payment option and indicate in the message
section that you will be using an alternate form of payment.
We will follow-up by phone to process your American Express or Discover card. 
Local customers are always welcome to pay with cash as well. 
Please note that your order will not be processed until full payment has been made. 
Should you choose to pay by check or money order
and there is a difference in shipping charges in your favor,
this amount will be refunded to you with your completed order.
 
Payment by Check
 
At this time we do accept personal checks, but orders paid by check will be held
until the check clears through your bank. 
 
Any returned item is subject to a $25 service charge payable to: Harmony Bath and Body. 
Any returned items and service fees must be funded by money order, PayPal or credit card. 
Additionally, future orders will then have to be funded by a method other than personal check.
 
Payments made through PayPal via check must clear prior to shipping your order. 
Please note that this process can take several days.
 
SHIPPING INFORMATION
 
Our preferred method of shipping is via USPS Priority Mail.
Should your package require a speedier delivery,
please contact us via e-mail and arrangements will be made
to use an express method of delivery.
 
Should the customer select a shipping method that is
more expensive than what has been allocated according
to the shopping cart, the customer will be responsible
for any additional shipping charges.  If actual shipping
charges are less than the allocated amount, the difference
will be deducted from your total prior to processing payment.
 
ORDER TRACKING
 
We will notify the customer via e-mail with the tracking number
for your package upon shipping. 
 
Customers must contact us within 7 calendar days of a Priority Mail
shipment, if the order has not arrived to allow sufficient time
for us to research and resolve the problem with the shipment.
 
Failure to notify Harmony Bath and Body of missing orders
in a timely fashion may hinder our ability to locate your package.
 
If we are unable to locate the package
and we were not notified by the customer
in the required timeframe, we will replace the order,
but the customer will be responsible for reshipping charges.
 
RETURNED/REFUSED PACKAGES
 
If a customer does not claim a package from the shipper
after a delivery attempt is made, or if the customer refuses a shipment,
and the shipper returns the package(s) to us,
the customer is responsible for paying additional actual shipping charges
to reship the package. 
 
If the customer refuses to pay additional shipping charges,
the order will be cancelled, and the customer will receive a partial refund
of the amount of the order (less originally quoted shiping charges
and less a 20% restocking fee for the returned products). 
 
Refunds will be made only after we receive the returned package(s)
in unopened condition.  If the package is returned to us opened,
our return policy applies.
 
 SALES TAX
 
Maryland State residents are subject to 6% sales tax on all purchases.
Pennsylvania residents are subject to 6% sales tax on all purchases.
 
RETURN POLICY
 
All sales are final.  Due to the nature of our products, returns cannot be accepted.
Trial sizes are available in many products, and we encourage customers to try the
smaller sizes before committing to larger sizes. 
 
Our trial sizes are a wonderful way to try not only products, but fragrances as well.
 
Different companies have different versions of the same scent.
We use outstanding fragrance oils in our products,
but this does not mean that everyone has the same taste in scents.
We also use outstanding ingredients in our products,
but products perform differently for different people.
 
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on products
that did not smell as you expected or did not perform as you hoped.
 
Credit for shipping, merchandise, or any other charge
will not be given for unauthorized returns.
 
If you believe an error was made with your order,
please contact us with the details within
3 days of receipt of your order. 
We are human, and we do make mistakes. 
 
We pride ourselves on the quality of our products
and we are committed to satisfying all customers. 
We want  you to be happy with your purchases
and we want you to come back for more! 
 
Because our products are made by hand,
different batches may vary in size, color, etc. 
We do not mass produce any of our products,
so they are as individual as you are.
 
SAMPLES & OTHER COMPANY INFORMATION
 
We are a small family-owned company without the
seemingly limitless resources of large corporations.
This provides us with both advantages and disadvantages.
The major advantage is that our products are very personal to us.
 
As all of our products are original creations
and every single item is created and packaged by us,
we are in contact with each item and we believe this goes
a long way toward quality control. 
 
A disadvantage of being a small company
is that we order our items in small quantities,
i.e., 5 pounds of shea butter instead of 5,000 or even 50,000 pounds,
and the bottom line is that this costs more. 
 
When we refuse requests for free samples,
it is not because we are trying to be "cheap" or greedy
or (most importantly) that we don't want your business,
it is simply that we try to minimize our costs as much as possible
so that we can stay in business.  
 
Our customers know that we are very generous in including samples
with every order.  We also offer trial sizes of nearly all
of our products so that you can "try before you buy."
 
If you wish to order only trial sizes, we will make every effort
to minimize your shipping costs.  We understand that ordering items
from a small company "sight unseen" (or unsmelled in this case)
can be a bit worrisome, but we are confident that once you try our products,
you will be glad you did and the most difficult decision will then be...
which one and in what fragrance. 
 
Please note also that Harmony Bath and Body does make
charitable contributions both in the form of products and gift certificates.
 
Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding any of our policies. 
 
We appreciate your interest and we value our customers! 
Without you, our company would not exist.
 
Thank you!
