Return Policy

Due to the nature of selling raw materials meant to be used in skincare products, we are not able to accept returns or exchanges on any opened items.

If we shipped you the incorrect item, we will gladly replace it or refund your account. If you accidentally order the incorrect item and you have not opened the container, you can return it to us within 15 days at your cost and we will refund or exchange your account. Buyer may not return Product without Shay and Company’s written authorization. If a return is authorized, Buyer shall return all non-conforming Product within 15 days after receipt of authorization, and shall ship the Product F.O.B. Destination. All approved returns of conforming products are subject to a restocking charge of 20% computed at original invoice value. All returns must be sent to Shay and Company, 10639 SE Fuller Rd, Milwaukie, OR 97222. All unauthorized returns will become the property of Shay and Company and no credit will be issued.

Product for which delivery is suspended pending payment by Buyer, as well as Product of which delivery is wrongfully rejected or not accepted by Buyer, shall be held and stored by Shay and Company at risk and expense of Buyer. Special delivery terms may apply contract Shay and Company for details.

Damaged Items in Shipping

If Buyer receives a box with damaged or missing items, Buyer must have your delivery driver acknowledge the damage before they leave, if you can tell from the outside. Shipping companies can note issues in their system and that way issues can be resolved.

Buyer must take pictures of the exterior of any box you received with a damaged or missing item. Often, when UPS damages an order, they will re-package the item(s) into their own boxes and you will never know. Sending us pictures of the box as it arrived lets us know if it was delivered in the original box or not. Do not discard any original packaging as UPS will require them to be held for inspection.

As Buyer unpacks the boxes, if items are damaged, please email us with photos and information on the damaged items. This will help us when we file our damage claim with UPS/USPS. If the items are damaged or missing, we will gladly replace them, but we also have to file a claim with UPS in order to get reimbursed. Replacing missing items is a part of business, but it can get costly!

Pallet shipments must be inspected before the driver leaves your delivery. Pallets can arrive looking complete as trucking companies will re-wrap damaged pallets in transit. Buyer shall count the total number of items and verify that everything arrived correctly. Buyer must have the delivery driver acknowledge any damages or missing items BEFORE they leave, or the trucking company will not compensate us. If you have the damages notated, and email us with pictures of the damage, we will replace the items at no cost and we will file a claim with the trucking company. If the driver leaves without acknowledging any damage or shortage, we will not be held liable for replacement of missing or damaged product.

All damages on LTL shipments must be notified to Shay and Company in writing with accompanying driver signed BOL and imaged within 3 (three) days of receipt.

4. Terms of Payment –

Invoiced freight charges include applicable shipping, handling, and processing charges. All orders are subject to approval of Shay and Company credit department.
