2. Sending Milk and Inclusions:

Directions on how to send your breast milk and/or inclusions will be sent to you after ordering in your confirmation email. The shipping address will be included in your confirmation email. If you do not receive your email, please check your junk folder before contacting us. Please read the directions carefully and include all information required.

THE STEPS TO SHIPPING YOUR MILK AND INCLUSIONS:

1. Double bag milk or triple it and do NOT send in containers. Containers will not be returned. Containers also leak more. Milk may not be fully thawed before packaging and during transit.
2. Write name, address and contact number on the OUTSIDE BAG. If leaking occurs, your milk will not change colors from the marker.
3. In separate bag, put all inclusions TOGETHER in one bag. They may be separated by bags or envelopes within one separate bag, but inclusions MUST be kept together.
4. Please DO NOT send your "last" of anything impossible. We do not ship back any leftover milk or inclusions.
5. Include a piece of paper with your order including your name, address and contact number and details of what is included in the package. (Example: 1 milk, 1 lock of hair, 5rose petals, 1 umbilical stump)
6. Package all bags TOGETHER with packaging slip on top of all bags.
7. Package in a plastic container (cheapest you can find). If you are out of Metro Manila, any efficient packaging will do. Your full name, address and contact number MUST be on the package.

It is your responsibility to make sure the package is secure. You may wrap the OUTSIDE bag in tissue, paper towel, bubble wrap, or any item to add cushion around it. Please do not wrap inner bags.

Make sure you get tracking and keep your receipt.

You will not be personally notified if your inclusion arrives. You are responsible for checking our public queue after check ins are announced in the website in the received milk status. To view the public queue:

www.tenderfootjewels/inclusioncheckins

Inclusions check ins are done at various times during the day. Your package may be received on the day before or same day as the last check-in, but may not show up until the next check in because the mail was delivered after the check in was already completed for the day.

We try to have a check in every week to two weeks. Delays can occur, especially around holidays and when we are trying to get holiday orders out.

 Extra Notes: Physical notes other than your packaging slip cause confusion, and things can be missed. If you would like to add specifics to your order, please send us a message through your order log in. 

3. Shipping:

Metro Manila Area:

If you wish fast track shippers, we do recommend Lalamove and GrabExpress. It do come within the day delivery. However, cost varies and dependent to time and area. Please download their application or request us to schedule a pick-up. Please be warned also that this riders don't handle your items at care most of the time and had experiences of lost and undelivered inclusions.

Tracking-wise, it is still best to have it with courier such as LBC or JRS Express. The shipment is trackable plus we have not experienced any rude riders asking for extra fees or tips. They are also covered with insurance in case any loss or missed items. 

Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao Areas:

Our recommended shipper is the PhilPost. They do have Domestic Express Mail Service (DEMS) which is the fastest means of sending urgent messages, business documents or goods to addresses within the Philippines. Generally, DEMS items are delivered the next day after the date of mailing provided that they are posted on or before the prescribed cut-off time. Currently, the service is available in all major cities and towns nationwide. They do also have Registered Mail which is accorded mail security with the entire process being recorded from acceptance to delivery to the addressee. As proof of delivery, the sender may attach a registry return receipt to be signed by the recipient. Indemnity is paid in case of loss or damage of registered mail.

JRS Express is the second recommended shipper. They have 2-3daysdelivery to Metro Manila.

For LBC and Fedex, they do allow sending breastmilk. However, sender should provide an authorization letter or some sort of notification that parcel you are sending need not be fresh and for the purpose of jewelry making only. Somehow, they are also hesitant that the sender could complain of the parcel being perishable. 

International: 

We do accept international orders. However, please be warned you may be charged extra dollars for the international shipping fee. Unfortunately there are no cost effective options in The Philippines for international shipping. If you have friends or relatives connections to Philippines, having your item shipped to their Philippines-based address could be an option.

Local Drop Off: Customers local Marikina, have the option to drop off inclusions. Contact our Facebook Page, https://www.facebook.com/tenderfootjewels/ to schedule a drop off time. This is the customer’s responsibility to schedule, and scheduling is available Monday-Saturday from 8a.m - 5p.m. with the exception of holidays and other circumstances such as illness, appointments, or prior engagements. No exceptions will be made for weekend drop-offs. 

4. Inclusion amounts: 

Amount needed is on a "per item “basis.

• Breastmilk: send us 1-2 oz. or 30-60ml for one piece of jewelry. Have it in a breastmilk bag (double or triple pack) or ice bag and then put on zip lock or vial and make sure it is properly sealed and secure. If you have a plastic food container (the cheap ones) would be best to avoid mishaps on shipment.
• Umbilical Cord: send us a dried and at least half or small part of it. Whatever remains will be sent back to you. 
• Hair: we need 1 - 2 inches of hair (2-3mmthick).  Put it in a pouch or small plastic. Impossible please put on rubber band and tie it. Never tie it with scotch tape. 
• Nails or cremation ashes: please put it in small pouch/plastic. 
• Cremation ashes: please send 1-2 teaspoons only.  
• Placenta powder: 2-3 capsules
• Strip of Fabric: length negotiable    
• Crushed Flowers: 3-4 petals 

Please contact us at https://www.facebook.com/tenderfootjewels/ifyou have any questions about another desired inclusion. 

Leftover Milk: Leftover breastmilk is saved for up to a year in case we need to remake something or if you desire a future order. When you order, you will have 2 options, send new milk or use leftover milk. If you are choosing leftover milk, please confirm your leftover milk/inclusion status with a group admin, by email, or by checking the leftover milk sheet before choosing this option.

If your leftover milk has been confirmed before your order, your estimated turnaround time will begin the day your order is placed. 

If you order without confirming your leftover milk first, you will be asked to fill out a change order form and send new milk if you do not have leftover milk. Your turnaround time begins when your milk arrives. 

If you purchase using the send new milk option and wish to change to using leftover milk, you will have to complete a change order. The estimated turnaround time begins the date that the change order forms documented to your order. 

If you purchase using the "leftover milk" choice and you do not have a previous order under that account, with no note added, you will be contacted and told to fill out the change order form for the previous order number or new milk option. Your turnaround time will not begin until we have your milk/inclusions. 

Unless your order is part of a split order, a pending order, or a remake using that milk, all milk will be kept up to a year from the date of check in. Should you desire an extension, you will need to fill out a change order form requesting that your milk be held until a certain date. 

Leftover Inclusions (excluding breast milk): Leftover inclusions like cremation ash will be sent back along with the delivery of your order.

5. Turnaround Time:

**Current turnaround time is an estimated 4-8 weeks**

The turnaround time begins once your milk and inclusion has been received and checked in. Check-ins generally occur once a week or once every week and a half. The current turnaround time is an estimated 4-8 weeks.

Milk check ins are done at various times during the day. Your package may be received on the day before or same day as the last check-in, but may not show up until the next check in because the mail was delivered after the check in was already completed for the day.

Delays: Delays may occur under a variety of circumstances. Circumstances are including but not limited to:

• Complications in order design
• Holidays
• Recasting
• Supply order delays 
• Supply back orders
• Family sickness or emergencies
• Other unforeseen circumstances.

Split Orders: Sometimes, delays will occur during processing and may only be on part of the order. Instead of holding the entire order, we may separate the items and partially ship the order. The remainder of the order will be shipped once it is finished. You will not be charged an additional shipping fee and will be issued a gift card if this is necessary.

International customers should contact an admin if their order becomes a split order. 

Complicated orders, such as orders with multiple inclusions (e.g. flakes, hair, and shimmer in a piece, flakes, birthstone, and pigment in a piece, etc.), approved customs, and orders with specific details (e.g. hair or flakes falling in a certain pattern) may extend past the 8 week turnaround due to the complexity of the order.

Option1) pay in full and receive 5% discount (exclude promo and sale items)

Option2) 50% when bilk/dana is sent 50% balance before delivery

Option 4) all major credit cards upon checkout though PayPal.

8. Holiday Orders:

Cut Off Dates: Due to an increase in orders, Christmas and Mother’s Day are two major Philippine holidays that require a cutoff date. Cutoff dates are announced in our website headlines, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, etc. Please note that all of our deadlines are for Metro Manila customers. Milk/inclusions received before the cut off dates are scheduled to be completed and shipped in time for the designated holiday. In circumstances of delays, announcements will be made in our Facebook page for updates.

Shipping Estimates: Philpot shipping estimates are used as a guideline for our shipments, however, Tender Foot Jewels and anyone associated with our business (such as assistants, admins, etc.) will not be held responsible for any orders delayed in shipping via Philpot or customs. We may schedule a "shipment deadline" in advance of a holiday to give you an idea of when holiday orders are expected to ship, however, delays may occur as well as a rescheduled shipping deadline. See the Delays section under Turnaround time for a list of possible delays.

Delayed Delivery: Although we are not held responsible for delays via Philpost, in instances of holiday shipments, we will issue complimentary gift cards to any order that tracking confirms a delayed delivery.

**Please remember, although we strive to have your order arrive before a certain date, no item is guaranteed an arrival date.**

Holiday Dates: We are a Philippine based small business enterprise; therefore, we use Philippine holiday dates. We do accept orders for holidays from overseas, but we make no guarantees to have jewelries delivered in time for the holiday. Customs can hold any packages and cause many delays in order delivery. Please make sure you order early if you want your order for a Philippine holiday.

There are instances where Tender Foot Jewels will provide a shipping label for returns; however, this will be done on a case by case basis and we will notify you if we are providing a shipping label.

Please research and observe our sample items thoroughly. Due to monitor settings and lighting, the colors of finished pieces and samples may vary slightly from the picture. The colors of pigments and flakes can vary due to the setting (e.g. Halo ring, simple bezel, etc.) they are placed in. The amount of milk as well as the setting can affect the color of the milk. Tenderfoot Jewels does our best to represent our samples and jewelry as accurately as possible; however, please be advised that colors may vary.

12. Resin Jewelries (Without Breast Milk):

Resin Jewelries: Although our website was created for breastfeeding mothers, we would like to extend our creations ton on-breastfeeding individuals as well. Because of this, we are now offering the option to have any of our items crafted without breast milk. When choosing this option, you are requesting this item to be made without breast milk. Your jewelry will be crafted with your desired inclusions (ashes, hair, etc.) in resin. Unless pigment is chosen, your item and add-on inclusions will be crafted in clear resin.

Pigments: When choosing your pigment for non-breast milk jewelries, your pigment will be translucent unless requested otherwise in order. (Choose ‘opaque’ in the order drop down if you want the pigment to look solid.) The final color of the pigment will vary within the final piece and may look different from samples provided with breastmilk or other jewelry samples.

Inclusions: Inclusions include placenta (2-3 capsules per item), crushed flowers (3-4 petals per item), strip of fabric, umbilical stump, lock of hair (2-3mm wide), or various other inclusions. Please contact us if you have any questions about a desired inclusion.

13. Additional Information:

Each item offered by Tender Foot Jewels is completely handcrafted from start to finish. You provide the memory; we provide the beautiful jewelry you can treasure for years to come.

Our unique jewelry provides you the opportunity to incorporate your breast milk or your desired inclusion into a beautiful, preserved jewelry. Breastmilk jewelry or our other preserved jewelries are done by preserving your milk or inclusions in a resin mixture.

Please include your Facebook name in the notes of your order if it is different from the name on the order.

You may choose to have your jewelry created without breast milk by selecting that option on the product drop down. If you choose this option, make sure to choose the corresponding drop-down for inclusions. Breastmilk inclusions have a section separate from clear resin inclusions. If you choose the wrong one, you will be invoiced the difference with a 5% fee.

We offer customization options on each listing such as pigments, inclusions, flakes, and birthstones. If you would like to add birthstones, shimmer, pigment, or flakes to your breast milk jewelry and jewelries, please choose your desired options before checking out. If the option is not listed on your desired listing, please send us a message to discuss details of personalizing your breast milk jewelry or inclusion jewelries.

Inclusions: If you choose to incorporate an inclusion, the inclusion will be preserved along with your milk in the resin mixture. Each inclusion will have its own unique look and will not be identical to the display image. If you choose "Multiple," please specify which inclusions you desire in the "Order Notes" section before checking out. Please understand when choosing "Multiple," some inclusions maybe more visible than others but will contain each of the inclusions requested. Inclusions will be manipulated to fit in the desired jewelry appropriately. No final look with inclusions, pigment, flakes, birthstones, or shimmer will be guaranteed.

Inclusions, with the exception of flakes, cannot be surfaced. They will not settle in the same pattern for every piece. Flakes maybe surfaced for an additional cost. If surfaced is not selected, they will be blended. A final look cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of the materials. 

For cufflinks, customers may request surfaced inclusions; however, this will be done at the discretion of the crafter. 

Due t monitor settings and lighting, the colors of finished pieces and samples may vary slightly from the picture. The colors of pigments and flakes can vary due to the setting (e.g. halo ring, simple bezel, etc.) they are placed in. The amount of milk as well as the setting can affect the color of the milk. Tender Foot Jewels does our best to represent our samples and jewelry as accurately as possible; however, please be advised that colors may vary.

Hair: You may include more than one lock of hair to represent more than one child. You do not need to select "multiple “for this option.

Pigment: Pigment added to the breast milk will cover the entire area of the breast milk stone, and will be opaque. When ordering a jewelry without breast milk, your pigment will be translucent unless stated otherwise in order notes.

Multiple Pigments: When choosing "Multiple “please specify your colors in order notes before checking out. When choosing “Multiple" you are agreeing to have the pigment mixed at our discretion and create an effect on the entire stone. This effect ONLY works with an opaque effect and cannot be used as a translucent effect in clear resin. If you choose "Multiple" (or another multiple pigment effect that contains a "*") and are not having breast milk applied to your order, this will be created in an opaque effect.

Shimmer and Pigment: If you wish to add shimmer with pigment (for example: purple shimmer) please select "Multiple" as well. Shimmer is NOT recommended on glitter pigments. We cannot guarantee final look.

Birthstones: Raw birthstones are genuine birthstones that are crushed and added to your breast milk or resin jewelry as an additional inclusion. If you choose "Multiple," please specify in the “Order Notes" section before checking out. Please understand when choosing "Multiple," some birthstones may be more visible than others, but your item will contain each of the stones requested. All the stoneware crushed. Each piece will have an individual look. You can specify finely crushed in your order notes to use smaller pieces, but all birthstones are crushed.

Birthstone Disclaimer: **Adding birthstones may also make the surface uneven.** We will try our best to avoid this but in some of our thinner items, it is unavoidable. Raw crushed birthstones may also increase the chances of bubbles.  We cannot guarantee the final look on these items.

Flakes: Flakes added to your jewelry will be dispersed randomly. When choosing "Multiple" flakes, your flakes will be dispersed randomly, and some flakes may be more visible than others.

Flakes Disclaimer: **Adding flakes may also make the surface uneven.** Flakes may also increase the chances of bubbles. When adding flakes to your item, We cannot guarantee the final look.

Stone Density: Your breast milk stone is a solid piece, but the hardness may vary. Because we create the pieces from a liquid state, your milk may settle differently in the resin causing some stones to be softer than others. However, all stones will be durable and built to last under normal wear.

Imperfection Disclaimer: We allow our jewelries to cure in a pressure pot to avoid bubbles; however, small bubbles still may appear in the finished piece and is expected in the nature of handmade resin items. Some items may require sanding as a part of the finishing process and edges may not be completely uniform when finished. Items that may not be uniform due to sanding include but are not limited to roses, European charm beads, and pearls. The color of your final piece will reflect the natural color of your breastmilk unless pigment is requested. Some items require gluing. We will try to make it as least visible as possible. However, being that each piece is individually handmade, we cannot guarantee that the glue will not be visible in every piece.

Image Disclaimer: At Tender Foot Jewels, we make every effort to ensure that our online catalog is as accurate and complete as possible. Some pieces may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs; and since every computer monitor is set differently, size and color may vary slightly. On our site, we provide the measurement of each piece. No final look is guaranteed and lighting in the images may make a piece appear different from its actual appearance.

Due to monitor settings and lighting, the colors of finished pieces and samples may vary slightly from the picture. The colors of pigments and flakes can vary due to the setting (e.g. halo ring, simple bezel, etc.)they are placed in. The amount of milk as well as the setting can affect the color of the milk. Tender Foot Jewels does our best to represent our samples and jewelry as accurately as possible; however, please be advised that colors may vary.

Studio: All orders are made in a studio. Once received, milk is stored in special containers and frozen in our freezers, separate from our personal items. We organize it by order numbers, names, and emails. Milk stays frozen until it begins processing. Once processing begins, all of that milk is prepared and preserved. The leftover milk is stored again and kept safe until it is ready for use. We will make an announcement in the group before discarding leftover milk in case a customer would like to purchase another piece.

14. Product Safety:

Adult Wear: WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Our jewelry is intentionally crafted for adult wear. Handle with care around children. We know how much children love to play with our special jewelry, but it’s important to keep in mind that all of our jewelry, like any other jewelry, is a potential choking hazard for little ones. Always keep your jewelry safely out of reach from small children. We are not liable for jewelry broken by children. We are not liable for injuries caused by breakage, improper handling, allowing a child tower or play with the jewelry, wearer negligence, etc.

Materials: We try to get the best materials from our suppliers. All of our materials are stated as the supplier has stated them tome.

Metal Allergies: If you or the person you are purchasing for has a metal allergy, you should use caution when purchasing and speak with your doctor before making the purchase. We urge you to research and make the best health decision for yourself. Our items may contain nickel. Please research "hypoallergenic" and "nickel-free.”

Allergy Disclaimer: Tender Foot Jewels is not responsible for any physical reaction(including but not limited to any allergic and anaphylactic responses) to our jewelry. We will not replace or refund items due to any reaction to our jewelry, please see our terms on this above.

15. Care Instructions:

Tarnishing: Unfortunately, many metals used in jewelry making will eventually tarnish over time. Tarnish is the result of a chemical reaction between the silver and environmental factors, particularly sulfur, effectively causing oxidation that appears as a discoloration, i.e., tarnish. Since we use silver for many of our pieces, we want to make sure you understand how to prevent your beautiful jewelry from tarnishing and what you can do to maintain its quality and finish.

Humidity: Never expose your jewelry to water or high levels of humidity. This means that you should remove your jewelry before swimming or taking a shower or bath and you should never store your jewelry in the bathroom. Also, polish your jewelry at least once a week using a soft cloth to remove dust. A polishing cloth is preferable but any soft cloth that isn’t abrasive in any way would be suitable for cleaning.

Storage: Protect your jewelry by storing it in a cool, dry place - a closed jewelry box is preferable for jewelry storage. Finally, always remove your jewelry before bedtime to prevent accidental breakage.

Stone Care: Please do not expose breast milk stone or jewelry stone to any harsh solvents, such as acetone or cleaning agents. Harsh solvents can destroy the breast milk and jewelry stone. Please do not expose your jewelry to essential oils, as this may cause harsh yellowing to the jewelry stone. Leaving your breast milk stone in direct sunlight for extended periods of time is not recommended.

Disclaimer: We polish each item before shipping, and were not responsible for tarnish due to climate changes in shipping. Please purchase a polishing cloth and polish it upon receipt.
