ORGANIC: Natural Body Jewelry :Ordering Information

Ordering Information

CALL: the quickest and best method, we do prefer it! Almost all questions and orders are handled by phone.
(503) 240-0260, Monday through Friday, 12noon to 4pm Pacific Time.
We are actually here until 7pm but do not always pick up the phone after 4pm if we are busy packaging our hearts away... please note the time difference! It is best to call to make sure all your questions are answered and to make sure we have what you want in stock before payment is sent.
E-mail: slower response. Questions and details can be more quickly and thoroughly attended to on the phone. We are always backed up with e-mail, and frankly do not have the time. We are humans. Call us instead!
Email is mainly intended for international ordering and those unable to call during our business hours.
Fax to the above number during business hours (we must be available to physically turn on the machine).
Write via snail mail to the address below (convenient if you intend to pre-pay first by check or money order rather than to pay by COD). You can use our pre-order form if you'd like. However, it is best to call to make sure all your questions are answered and to ensure we have what you want in stock before payment is sent.
- Be sure to include your phone number!
- We put together first-time orders for shops and individuals all the time! Just let us know your size, price, and material parameters, and we can pick out some exciting options to meet your needs.
- We do not currently have a minimum order requirement.

Yes! You can order from us directly.
However, we encourage individuals wanting to place a retail order to BUY LOCALLY.
Shops will place an order with us on your behalf.
ANY professional piercing shop can do this, just have your local favorite contact us.
If you don't already have a relationship with a nearby establishment,
we'll be happy to recommend shops near you that know our wares if you'd prefer to shop locally.
Let us know your zip code, and hopefully we can turn you on to a store that can take care of you.
Otherwise, just give us a ring here and we'll take your order directly.

Remember: prices listed are wholesale; retail prices are double.
Please visit our retail page for more information.

Please send payments to:

ORGANIC LLC
P.O. Box 17656
Portland, OR 97217-0656 USA

Money orders or checks are payable to:
ORGANIC LLC

COD's or PRE-PAYMENTS by money order, check, or cash are used for all new U.S. customers. International orders must be pre-paid (no COD's). We can only accept U.S. $ at this time.
COD versus prepayments:
- "COD" means 'Cash' or 'Collect' On Delivery. The U.S. mail carrier or UPS driver will deliver your package once they are handed a check or money order made out to "Organic LLC" in the amount declared on the package. U.S. mail carriers will also accept cash (with a $1.05 fee so they may then write a money order out to us; this fee does not apply to payments by check or money orders that have already been obtained).
  They will generally (but not always) attempt to deliver the package more than once before it is sent back. They may also leave a notice (usually yellow) letting you know they attempted to make delivery and that the package will be available for pickup at the local mail or UPS station; the post office will hold your package for 30 days before returning it to us. It is an extra fee to ship packages COD, but if all items are in stock, we can ship the package the same day we receive your order and not have to wait for a prepayment.
- Making a prepayment by mail will avoid us having to send a package COD, and is thus cheaper.
  However, we'll have to wait for your money order or check to arrive before shipping out your package.
  This is especially economical if you are waiting a few weeks for custom work to be completed anyway.
We accept money orders (we prefer them!), personal and business checks, cashier's checks, traveller's checks, cash, and wire transfers (for an extra fee: see below). Please conceal your payment appropriately when mailing (especially if sending cash), and keep your receipt if you've purchased a money order.
We do not accept credit cards nor online payments. These enormous corporations do not deserve a cut of your nor our money. Please consider discontinuing your support of such repressive institutions.
We may request secured funds only (cashier's check or money order) for large orders or from new customers (usually $500 and up), as well as for custom wood jewelry.
Wire transfers are accepted with a $15 additional fee; this is what our bank charges us for incoming wires.
Here's a handy order form to send with your prepayment by mail (optional!) that can help you remember what we'll need to complete your order. It's a .pdf file and is about 185k.
Check out the barter page for ideas on trades and barter; all items must be pre-approved before they can be accepted. Useful for international customers or those who would like to use credit cards; since we do not accept them, an item may be purchased and shipped to us in lieu of a direct payment.
We do not currently have a minimum order requirement, though we don't usually process orders when the total of the items purchased is less than the total of the shipping cost.
No sales tax! (Wholesale orders do not have sales tax; Oregon does not have a state sales tax.)
International orders: COD's are not possible-sorry! We can only accept prepayments, and we can only currently accept U.S.$. We do not take credit cards or online payments. Please use International Money Orders or traveler's checks (recommended), wire transfer funds, or send well-hidden cash using registered mail.
Check out our currency converter! This one is in English, or try the German or French versions.

All of our jewelry is handmade from natural materials by humans,
and as it's not metal nor mass produced, each pair has unique qualities. While general labels are helpful, they negate variation, and we like to give the option of choice where it exists. There are often dozens of options just within one type of jewelry in one shape in one size which cannot be adequately encompassed in a generalized grouping such as would be found in an online order form, buy now button, or shopping cart. It might be compared to describing each bead in a bead store to someone who is not physically there, or pigeon-holing the complex nature of a human being into a stereotype.
We do not wish to lump these variations into categories that would give a false impression of regularity, instead we prefer to aim towards accurate and honest descriptions of their character and sizing.
Thus, the best way to place an order is to call to discuss the details of what you are ordering.

Domestic shipping fees for the United States

$2 for 1st class Mail (no guarantees, but generally takes 2-3 days to arrive on the West coast, not counting Sundays, and can take about a week for the Midwest or East coast; does not automatically include insurance nor tracking). While most packages are quite lightweight and will go for the $2 rate, shipments from 6oz. up to 12oz. will be $3. Packages over 13oz. go by Parcel Post which is a bit slower, or by Priority Mail.
$5 for Priority Mail (quick and generally reliable; they estimate, but do not guarantee, that most Priority Mail packages will arrive in 2-3 days, not counting Sundays; does not automatically include insurance nor tracking). The $5 Priority Mail fee is for packages up to 1 pound.
Express Mail is $17 for up to half a pound (8oz.); or $23-$24 up to one pound, $26 up to 2 pounds.
Express Mail, like all mail (but unlike UPS), may be delivered on Saturdays, but unlike regular mail, may also be delivered on Sundays and even holidays. In most cases, Express Mail will be delivered in two days, not overnight, due to the fact that the cut-off times for dropping off shipments are much earlier than when we visit the post office. Express Mail shipments have tracking numbers-a big plus for postal shipments-and tracking can be obtained online or through their voicemail system. We do not automatically call in or email tracking numbers; please let us know if you would like us to contact you with the tracking number for your shipment. Express mail is automatically insured for $100. Additional insurance may be added for an extra fee; please inquire if you would like to add this.
Extra weight: Shipments weighing more than 1 pound going by Priority Mail (as with t-shirts, sweatshirts, or o-ring kits) will need to add approximately $2/pound. Please call for quotes on any heavier items or on weighty Express Mail packages. There is a flat rate Priority Mail medium box available for $10, or a large one for $13.
Postal COD is an additional $6-12 and up (it depends on how much is to be collected).
For example, it costs $6 to ship an order totaling up to $50 to be collected (including postage and this fee -arg!- if the fees and postage bump you over the $50, then you have to pay $7...); it costs $7 to collect up to $100; $8 to collect up to $200; $9 to collect up to $300; $10 to collect up to $400; $12 to collect up to $500, etc. The maximum COD value that can be collected through the post office is $1000. For very high value shipments, consider UPS instead, as the shipping costs will normally be lower. COD's do not automatically have tracking, but are automatically insured up to the amount of the COD. Postal COD's can be paid with checks, cashier's checks, money orders, or cash (for $1.05 extra so that they can write out a money order to us).
Money orders and checks are payable to "Organic LLC". Please do NOT make payments out to "Postmaster" or "USPS" as we cannot deposit them (some post offices and mail carriers have told our customers to do this, but it is definitely incorrect).
Insurance: all U.S. mail COD packages automatically include insurance.
All non-COD (prepaid) orders sent by uninsured U.S. mail are at your risk.
We are not responsible for loss, delay, or damage caused by the post office.
Insurance can be added by request for an extra fee on non-COD postal shipments.
Insurance costs $2 extra for up to $100 of goodies, $3 for up to $200, $5 up to $300, etc.
Packages with values of $200 or less do not require a signature but will be scanned at delivery.
Please specify if you would like to add insurance; we will not automatically include it.
Delivery confirmation provides a tracking number that can be accessed online or on the phone. It is available for $1 in addition to postage and other fees. It does not provide insurance.
Signature confirmation provides a tracking number that can be accessed online or on the phone, and the package must be signed for before it is delivered. It is available for $2 in addition to postage and other fees. It does not provide insurance.
Shipping times are estimates only and are not guaranteed; days given do not include Sundays or holidays (except Express Mail). Estimates only apply once we have shipped your package. We do not ship out packages until the next business day after we have received your payment if you decide to send us a check or money order in advance. We generally ship packages the same day you place your order (when all items are in stock) if you decide you'd like us to ship it out as a COD.

In most cases, shipping via the post office will be both quicker and cheaper than UPS, and in practice, we rarely ship UPS these days. We do not have a daily pickup account, and driving there takes a lot of time and fuel.
UPS Ground is $8 for the 1st pound to commercial addresses.
UPS Ground is $10 for the 1st pound to a residential address.
This includes shipping to a home business.
Delivery times for UPS Ground Spring '08 (careful, they often change the map number, if the days look way different than those listed below, go to this link and type in our originating zip code of 97217):
1 day for OR and Western WA;
2 days to Northern CA, NorthEast WA, most of ID, Western MT, Northern NV, and all of UT;
3 days to Southern CA, AZ, CO, East MT, Southern NV, and most of WY;
4 days for NM, N. Texas, OK, KS, most of NE, SD, and ND, MN, IA, WI, North IL and IN, and W. MO and MI;
5 days to Eastern MO and MI, South IL and IN, OH, PA, NJ, MD, DE, D.C., CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, ME; KY, WV, VA, TN, NC, SC; Southern Texas, LA, AR, MS, AL, GA, FL;
6 days to Southeastern NY, but the rest of the state, including Manhattan and Long Island is at 5 days.
All days quoted are business days and do not include weekends nor holidays, as UPS does not deliver on those days. Call us for an estimate of delivery time if you don't see your state listed here.
UPS 3-day service is around $16 for up to one pound (useful for East coast deliveries that can take 5-6 business days by UPS Ground). Otherwise, try Priority Mail, which usually takes 2-3 days throughout the States.
UPS second day air service is around $21 for up to one pound in the lower 48 US states.
UPS next day air service is also available; please call for exact quotes and cut-off times. It runs an average of $30-$47 for up to one pound for delivery in the late afternoon, depending on zip code.
Extra weight: Shipments weighing over one pound going by Ground service (as with t-shirts, sweatshirts, or o-ring kits) generally must add around $1 per pound. Call for quotes on the faster services!
UPS COD is an additional $11 no matter how much is to be collected.
UPS only takes checks, cashier's checks, or money orders (no cash).
Thus, as far as the $11 COD fee itself is concerned, it is cheaper to go through the post office rather than through UPS for COD's of $400 or less, the same fee if $401-$500 is to be collected, and cheaper to go through UPS if $501 and up is the COD amount.
UPS is the only method we can use to send out COD's with values higher than $1000.
Insurance: all UPS shipments automatically include $100 of insurance, whether prepaid or COD.
And $1 per $100 insured value beyond that.
UPS imposes "delivery area surcharges" that apply to packages going to out of the way zip codes. This surcharge is $1 to commercial addresses and $2 to residences, and is addition to the normal fees. The zip code chart is 21 pages long. Here's a link if you'd like to learn more; it's a pdf from UPS's website. We can also let you know if this will apply to your shipment.
UPS cannot ship to P.O. boxes.
Alaska and Hawaii are not served by UPS Ground. Next day or second day air service through UPS is available, but expensive; we prefer to use Priority Mail through the P.O., which is much cheaper.
Tracking: All UPS shipments have tracking numbers. Tracking can be obtained online (which gives a very thorough listing of all the times a package has been scanned along it's merry way) or through their voicemail system at (800) PICK-UPS. We do not automatically call in or email tracking numbers; please let us know if you would like us to contact you with the tracking number for your shipment.
Delivery attempts: The driver should leave a tag stating they attempted to deliver if you are not available the first time, and try a total of 3 times to deliver your package. You may also arrange to pick up your goodies at your local UPS customer counter by calling the number on your tag.
Many shop owners prefer UPS since they tend to open around 12noon, and can work out an agreement with their local drivers to make deliveries after this time, whereas the post office might normally deliver before these business hours. Those types of arrangements are between the drivers and recipients only; we cannot determine when exactly your package may be delivered. However, we can mark your package "please deliver after 12noon" if requested, though they may not be able to comply with your wishes.
We tend to use UPS with very high value shipments, as their insurance is cheaper than at the post office.
We feel they have superior tracking, but their base fees are higher and times in transit can be slower.

International shipping fees

First-class Mail is $3 for small shipments (up to 8oz.) to Canada. It tends to be a bit slow (1-2 weeks).
Insurance cannot be added (unless the package is also sent registered) nor can tracking.
T-shirts and heavy packages will cost extra to ship; we can get you a quote based on your postcode.
Priority Mail International is $10 for orders that can fit in a page-sized flat-rate envelope, even a t-shirt.

Registered mail is secure, but very slow, as it is kept under lock and key during it's entire route. Registered mail can be used with First-class Mail packages. Registration generally costs around $11, plus the First-class Mail postage fee, which is $2 for a normal small package. It can then be insured up to $43.73 maximum.
UPS to Canada is possible, but we prefer going through the post office. UPS Standard takes around a week and starts at around $12-$20 per package; we'll need your postcode for an exact quote.
Quicker options through UPS are also available but are in the $50 and up range.
UPS automatically comes with a tracking number and $100 of insurance; more can be added.
Please let us know if you have an account number with UPS that you would like us to use.
Time in transit cannot be calculated exactly due to customs clearance.

Please ask for a quote for registration (starts at $11, very secure but slow, kept under lock and key); insurance cost and limits for high value shipments; or the price of shipping heavy, larger, or thick packages (such as those containing t-shirts, sweatshirts, posters, o-ring kits, etc.).
We do not generally use UPS, FedEx, or DHL to ship packages overseas as it is VERY expensive.
However, they do have good tracking and tend to be secure.
Please contact us for quote to ship through one of these companies.
Also let us know if you have an account number with these companies that you would like us to use.
Payments: We accept International Money Orders, traveler's checks, wire transfers, or well-hidden cash in U.S. dollars only (sending cash is not considered secure, even if sent as registered mail). International Money Orders are often available from post offices, banks, or companies such as American Express or Thomas Cooke (this does not imply an endorsement, simply a recommendation based on convenience).
We receive a lot of Canada Post money orders from our neighbors to the North, as well as from other countries (such as Australia); these seem to be cost effective and convenient.
We do NOT accept credit cards, PayPal, nor any type of online payments.
These enormous corporations do not deserve a cut of your nor our money.
Please consider discontinuing your support of such repressive institutions.
Wire transfers are possible, however, we charge a $15 wiring fee to receive one, as this is what our bank charges us, and is in addition to what your bank may charge you for sending the wire transfer.
International COD's are not possible - sorry! Please send payments in advance.
Here is our currency converter again for your convenience.
Special restrictions and laws may apply to shipments containing animal products, such as horn, bone, quills, or shell. Please ask your customs and wildlife officials before ordering these items, and make sure there are no federal, state, or local laws that may prohibit these items. We require that you sign a release form before we can ship orders containing animal products internationally. We can fax, mail, or email this to you. However, we need it either mailed or faxed back so that we can view the signature.
Shipping times are estimates only and are not guaranteed; days given do not include Sundays or holidays (except Express Mail). Estimates only apply once we have shipped your package. We do not ship out packages until the next business day after we have received your payment. Customs may hold onto packages for as long as it takes to properly clear them; shipments containing animal products generally take at least a day longer.
Any customs taxes, duty tax, VAT, other duties, taxes, penalties, or brokerage fees are paid by the recipient. Please contact your local authorities for more information. Here is a link to the World Customs Organization.

We reuse and recycle many packaging materials (including baggies, boxes, envelopes, etc).
We encourage and support companies and individuals in following suit. We feel the status of using new packaging materials is far less important than reusing existing ones that are still highly functional.

Terms of Sale, Billing, Policies, and Requirements

Use of Organic jewelry in particular, and natural materials in general, is at your own risk. Organic accepts no liability in connection with the use or misuse of our products.
All jewelry is shipped non-sterile; many pieces cannot be sterilized.
All goods are sold on an "as is" basis without any warranties of any kind. Organic expressly denies and disclaims any implied warranty that goods shall be fit for any particular purpose.
Because most of our items are hand made by humans from naturally occuring non-homogenous natural materials, color, hue, texture, size, weight, engraving, inlays, shape, angles, appearance, and other factors may vary from those shown and from piece to piece. Please call us and ask for a thorough description of the exact pieces that you might be thinking of purchasing. We can also send scans of individual pieces by email if requested.
Allow an average of 2-4 weeks for custom bamboo orders to be made.
Please be patient; each piece is unique and the process takes time. Some pieces are made by traditional craftspeople overseas and will require extra time for both production and shipping.
Estimates are available on the price and date of completion of your order.
Send sketches of custom, unusual, or complex designs by mail.
Please specify all dimensions. Gauges, inches, or millimeters are all fine.
For additional information on terminology, sizing, measurements, a conversion chart, and care instructions, please refer to the general information page.
For current availability on all items, please call, see this website for color pictures, download the catalog, or send a SASE for black and white versions of the catalog pages.
All sales are final. No refunds.
Claims, defects, or damages must be made by the customer in writing within a period of fifteen days of delivery or will not be accepted. All packaging materials must be saved for inspection (when making an insurance claim for damage).
With age, use, and abuse, your jewelry can lose polish and luster, become damaged, check, split, crack, dry out, become oily, darken, lighten, tarnish, oxidize, disappear, fuss, or complain, inlays may loosen or jump out, grain can rise up, and will generally or specifically suffer various and sundry types of wear and tear. The better organic jewelry is treated, the longer it will last; natural materials are not invincible, and will need more care than surgical stainless steel jewelry. Please read and follow the care instructions. We are not responsible for the condition of the jewelry once it has been shipped (please request insurance if you'd like it). And we're really, really not responsible when you lose something down the drain*, in the Pacific Ocean*, or in Lake Michigan* two years from now.
(*Other bodies of water, items of plumbing, mammalian digestive tracts, lengths of time, lame accidents, purposeful mistreatments, natural disasters, and other circumstances may be substituted. It's been known to happen! Think of the archaelogical implications...).
As most natural jewelry cannot be sterilized, jewelry returns cannot be accepted, unless there has been a mistake on our behalf (such as a sizing error that we have made). We will not accept returns if you have ordered the wrong size, style, or material. Jewelry will not be accepted that has been used, worn, tried on, damaged, dropped, or mishandled. Your honesty is appreciated, as it is imperative; we have a contract which must be signed and accompany such returns, along with a copy of your valid state or federal photo ID. Returned jewelry is checked to confirm the error and is not resold.
Returns of unused merchandise may be exchanged for credit only with prior approval.
Shipping charges are not refundable.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone or any business at any time for any reason.
In particular, this applies to rude people, perverts, and scammers.
All paperwork, including catalog, price list, invoice (which will include details about your payment), and care instructions will be sent to the addressee only (the 'ship to' address), unless otherwise instructed. Please take note of this especially if you are having something shipped to an address that is not yours, for example, when sending a gift.
We retain the right to store, reproduce, and use images of all merchandise sold or traded, for archival, promotion, or other purposes. An example would be publishing an image of ethnic jewelry that has since sold in a book. Another example would be posting a scan of custom plugs that were made on a customer's behalf to this website.
Privacy: personal information, including addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses, will never be sold, traded, leased, or rented. We use this information to process your order, service your account, collect payment, and to send out catalogs and updates about current events or offerings from Organic LLC. Please let us know if you would like to change, add, remove, or review the contact information that we have for you. We retain records, in the form of invoices, of all transactions, which will include contact and payment information. This information about past transactions will still be stored even if you modify or remove your contact information from our database. We give out business (company) information, including contact names, to retail customers who are looking for a shop in their area that may carry our products; let us know if you would not like your business or contact name to be included.
April through October 2005: Note that emails sent to Organic LLC with retail inquiries will be forwarded to Jon/Angry God Productions LLC. Jon and Angry God Productions WILL share information about retail customers who have asked about or ordered Organic LLC products through them with Organic LLC only. Emails sent to Angry God with questions only Organic can answer will be forwarded back to Organic. Angry God Productions LLC is an independent company and are not employees of Organic LLC. They have their own set of terms, conditions, privacy and other policies, as well as preferred methods of ordering, payment, and shipping. Please contact them directly for information on these important subjects.
Billing is a courtesy extended to our regular customers only.
Billing terms are net-15. Please make payments promptly-we do appreciate it!
Late payments will be charged a late fee (which also applies to NSF checks) of 10% of the amount due, or $20-whichever is higher; interest will accrue at .75% per month.
NSF checks (Non-Sufficient Funds; bounced; marked return to maker; returned unpaid), and returned/refused COD's, will be billed a $25 service charge, in addition to the amount owed. NSF checks may be redeposited electronically via No Bad Checks, Inc. for all recovery attempts; the $25 fee may also be debited from your account at that time. We also reserve the right to collect the fee our bank charged us for the check that didn't clear; this may also be debited to your account via No Bad Checks, Inc. If they are unable to collect using this method, No Bad Checks, Inc. will send the account to collections. Any customer that has bounced a check off us will revert to a prepaid money order only payment status until further notification.
Customers that have returned/refused COD's will be billed for shipping fees in addition to the $25 service charge.
Unpaid invoices and past due accounts will be sent to a collections agency.
Organic retains title to items that have not been paid for in full.
Deposits are not refundable. Examples of typical deposits include, but are not limited to: prepayments on large orders, custom hardwood jewelry, or other custom work. If full payment has not been received in a reasonable amount of time (60 days maximum) after notification has been given that custom work has been completed or the order is ready to be shipped, the deposit will be considered forfeited and will not be returned, and the items will become available for sale to others.
Please call us to discuss problems, make payment arrangements, or any time you are in need of assistance regarding a shipment or invoice. Communication is essential!
Please note that we specialize in unique, small-run, and hand-made jewelry: we do not do mass production.
While every effort is made to avoid them, we are not responsible for typographic or other errors, omissions, or the accuracy or completeness of information on all parts of this website and in related print literature.
No permission is granted to use in any way on any media (including-but not limited to: websites, reprinted literature, catalogs, digital files, jewelry, garments, etc.): a whole image, part of an image, modified image, original design, engraving, logo, overall shape or appearance, or text appearing on this website and related print media. Any such usage will be considered infringement of intellectual property rights and may be an unlawful violation of copyright law or plagiarism. Please notify us if you see any examples anywhere.
These terms and policies may be changed, modified, or portions added or removed from time to time. This page is the most updated and comprehensive listing. The print literature (such as catalog, cover sheet, and invoices) will have updates added as they are printed and as space allows. The newest versions and updates of print and online materials supercede all other versions that came before them and any changes become effective immediately upon being posted or printed. We do not send out notifications of changes to these terms and policies. Thus, please check back here for the most thorough and up-to-date information.
By ordering from us, you hereby agree to these terms, policies, conditions, and requirements.
If you do not agree, please do not place an order, and we won't be upset.
Everything is on here for a reason. We know it's a lot to read, and thank you for your perseverance!
All prices, like life, are subject to change without notice.

THANKS!
