SHIPPING

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States and do not ship to P.O boxes. For the most up-to-date shipping estimate, please add items to your cart and enter your zip code into the shopping cart shipping estimator. Shipping costs and times will fluctuate based on what is being purchased, where it is being shipped, any current shipping promotions, high-demand and volume changes, and weather conditions affecting carriers. Orders can be shipped to only one address. To ship to multiple addresses, you will need to place a separate order for each address. Ten Thousand Villages is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.

If you suspect theft, please file a complaint with your local police department.

For orders over $50, Ten Thousand Villages offers free standard shipping to all customers. It is only valid for continental US customers. Please be aware that some items cannot be shipped for free. If expedited shipping is required, this will cost money and will not be included in free shipping. Ten Thousand Villages is not responsible for lost packages for which a delivery confirmation has been provided by the carrier. If this occurs, you should contact the carrier directly.

Check your email for your tracking details, including the tracking number and carrier so that you can track your shipment. Having trouble tracking your order? Contact us!

PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER

If you have a problem with your order, please contact us so we can help.

Once you click the “Pay Now” button and your payment processes, the Warehouse Team immediately begins fulfilling your order. While we're proud of our speed and efficiency, unfortunately that means that we're unable to update or edit the shipping address on the order. However, we're always here to help you on any returns or exchanges you may require.”

At this time, we are not able to cancel any orders. We are unable to add or remove items from an order that has already been placed.

OTHERS

Occasionally, Ten Thousand Villages offers discounts and promotions as an advantage to our customers. These offers do not affect the fair price our artisans are paid for their crafts. Artisans have already been paid in full.

Only one promotion can be applied to each order.

You can edit your email subscriptions with us here.

We support the artisan community by strengthening your ability to create jobs through your skills and traditions. To serve customers and sustain this work, we look for new designs produced at quantities that can meet demand and support growth.

If you are a fair trade organization committed to investing in your community, and you are working to scale your business, we invite you to share your information with us. Please submit the FORM once. Because we receive many inquiries, we are not able to respond to every submission.



Our pricing is currently displayed on all of our products.

While we can't guarantee that we can remove the pricing before shipment, if you reach out to our friendly customer support either before or right after placing your order, we can definitely put in a request to our fulfillment center to see if they can remove it for you.

However, please keep in mind that it's not a guarantee because of our current process.

We do not currently have a gift registry program, but recommend using a website that allows for consolidated gift registries where you can choose items from multiple retailers to include in your registry.
