If you are interested in purchasing an item just click the "Buy Now" button on the item page which will take you to an ordering sheet. You can add more items by clicking on the "Continue Shopping" link at the bottom of the page or to submit order click on the"Go To Payments" link at the bottom and fill in the required areas with name, address, etc. Be sure to select the payment option and method of shipping then click"Continue" Your order will be sent to me for processing. Within 24 hours, though most times within hours, you will receive an invoice from me via the email address you have supplied, with the total amount due including shipping. Since most of the items, particularly the lampwork beads, are one of a kind and the sold sign has to be input manually by me, there is the possibility that someone else has ordered one or more of the items you have requested.

Once you receive your invoice, all purchases must be postmarked (for money order and personal check payments) or paid via PayPal within 3 days unless other arrangements are made. If you are mailing a check, please notify me when it has mailed so I can be on the lookout for it. This will help prevent any delays in shipping your package to you.

First class shipping for lampwork beads and finished jewelry is $4.00 for the first item and includes insurance and delivery confirmation. If multiple items are ordered shipping will be calculated based on insured value and/or weight. If heavy items are ordered (for instance strands of metal spacers) shipping will be calculated based on weight, with the minimum being $4.00.

Priority shipping for lampwork beads and finished jewelry is $6.50 and includes insurance and delivery confirmation. Shipping for heavy items (for instance the metal spacers) will be calculated based on weight, with the minimum being $6.50.

I contract with an outside insurer so there will be no signature requirements, and each package will be sent with delivery confirmation.

International shipping will be calculated at time of purchase.

Payments may be made by check (will be held 12 business days), money order, or PayPal (use maryann@thebeads.com for PayPal payments). I only accept credit card payments through PayPal at this time.
