Changes and Cancellations

Order cancellations: Fill out the Contact Us Form and select the “I’d like to cancel my order” option. Include your order number as we cannot process a cancellation without the order number.

Please note: We cannot guarantee order cancellations because our orders are processed so quickly - we will do our best. In the event your order cannot be canceled, you can still process a return for refund upon receipt of your order.

Address changes: Fill out the Contact Us Form and select the “I’d like to change my address” option. Include your order number and your full correct shipping address.

Please note: We cannot guarantee address changes will be processed before shipping but will do our best to catch these as soon as possible. If your address change is not updated before shipping, please reach out to the carrier for support.

Order changes: We cannot edit orders once they are placed. In the case you need to remove or change an item, we will cancel the order so you can replace it with the correct items. Multiple orders cannot be combined into one shipment.

If you forgot to include a promo code that was active at the time of ordering, we will honor a refund or store credit for the discount value. Please include the discount code in your initial inquiry.

Price Adjustments

To be fair to all customers, Local Eclectic does not offer any price adjustments after an item has been purchased

Signature Required on High Value Orders

To help ensure your package arrives safely, domestic orders over $600 will be automatically upgraded to FedEx 2-day and will require a signature.

We are not responsible for packages returned to sender if a signature is not collected or if the package is delayed as a result. Please contact Fedex to schedule a pickup, if desired.

When will my order ship?

Our standard fulfillment hours are Monday through Friday 9 am - 5 pm CST. Orders are shipped within 1-2 business days unless it is a custom made-to-order item. Orders placed after 1 pm CST with expedited shipping will be fulfilled the next business day.

During high volume shipping periods and holidays, please allow additional time for your order to be processed prior to shipping.

When will I receive my order?

You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information once your order has shipped. 

NOTE: Any FedEx Overnight orders that are placed after 1pm CST on Friday  will not be shipped until the following Monday, as we do not ship on Saturday/Sundays.

Local Eclectic is NOT responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged packages once deemed "delivered" by the courier. We also are not responsible for damages or loss should the customer decide to reroute the shipment to a third party location for pick up.

Does Local Eclectic offer Express Shipping?

Yes! We offer FedEx Priority Overnight & FedEx 2-Day shipments.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! We ship internationally via DHL, which is fully tracked to the door and takes roughly 3-7 business days (longer during holiday time). 

Additional time and communication with your country's custom's office may be required. Your duties and taxes will be calculated and included in your order cost.

Do you ship on Holidays?

We do not ship on these Federal holidays: Martin Luther King Jr., Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years Day. We will ship those orders on the following business day!

My order has shipped but the tracking information isn't updating!

Tracking typically takes between 24-48 hours to begin updating. If you still aren't seeing any updates after 48 hours please contact us through the Contact Us Form.

It says my order was delivered but I didn't receive it!

With USPS, we sometimes see that a package will be marked as "delivered" even though this isn't always the case. This is especially common during high volume/ holiday shipping. We recommend allowing 24-48 hours to account for potential internal USPS delays.

If you have purchased Shipping Protection, please use the Contact Us Form and select “I have a question about Shipping Protection” option.

Additionally, we ask that you double-check with neighbors, housemates, or in any delivery areas around your home or porch where the package may have been left. If you still aren't able to locate your package 48 hours after the package is marked delivered, please reach out through Contact Us Form. We can help file claims with carriers but at this time we are not responsible for lost and stolen packages, unless Shipping Protection was added to the order.

What is my ring size?

Here's a link to a printable ring sizer that you can use to determine your ring size at home. Alternatively, you can purchase our Perfect Fit Ring Sizer.

All of our ring sizes are in US sizing. If you are located outside the United States, use this ring size conversion chart to figure out what your size converts to in US sizing.

My bracelet or ring is turning my skin green, what do I do?

Don't panic, it's totally harmless! Copper and brass react to everyone's skin differently. It could be that you have an allergy to the metal, or maybe you washed your hands with soap or slathered on lotion just before throwing on your jewels. A DIY trick for fixing the problem is to coat the inside of the piece with clear nail polish -- this creates a thin barrier between you and the metal. Alternatively, if you can't stand the sight of turning teenage mutant ninja turtle green, we're happy to offer store credit for your return within 90 days of purchase.More on Copper and Brass Jewelry Here.
