Shipping Policies and Information

We offer free standard shipping on orders above $150 for U.S. customers. If you qualify for free shipping, we will not honor requests for Priority or Expedited shipping unless a request is submitted through email and additional postage is paid. If you need expedited shipping, email us.

Our shipping room runs Monday through Friday, and is closed on federal holidays. With the exception of orders placed on Friday and Saturday, we typically pack and ship orders within 24 hours. During peak/high volume periods it may take us 1-3 days to pack and ship an order.

If you email us over the weekend with a shipping need, we will respond to you on Monday morning, Pacific time. The best way to reach us is by filling out our contact form on this website.

Please double check your shipping address. We are not responsible for issues caused by incorrect addresses. 

Shipping rates and available services are calculated at checkout based on your order’s weight and destination. Delivery estimates are estimates provided by the carrier and are not guaranteed. You are always welcome to email us if you need extra help with shipping or delivery.

 

How We Handle Shipping Issues

Once an order leaves our facility, delivery is handled by the selected shipping carrier. Any delivery issues must be addressed directly with the carrier, as they are responsible for transporting the package to its destination. For USPS shipments, we’ve found that contacting your local post office is often the most effective first step.

You may track your shipment or submit a missing mail claim through the carrier used for your order—either the U.S. Postal Service or UPS.

While we make every effort to process and ship orders promptly, we are not able to retrieve or locate packages once they are in transit. In the event of a delay or loss, we ask for your patience while the carrier completes its investigation. Replacement items or refunds can only be issued after the carrier has made a formal determination.

After an order leaves our facility, responsibility transfers to the carrier, but we’re glad to offer support and direction should any delivery issues occur.

If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 10 days of delivery. Include your order number and photos of the damaged product and packaging. 

If an order is marked “delivered” by the carrier but you have not received it, please let us know, but do note that we will insist you make every effort to find the package on your end, including checking with neighbors and waiting at least 2 more days for delivery. If the package does not show up, we will assist you in starting a trace with the carrier or make another determination about how to handle the issue.

 

Return Policies

We offer full refunds on any defective or damaged products. We also offer full refunds (less shipping costs) on elective returns if the product is in re-sellable condition (including the packaging) and the return has been made within 3 months of the purchase.

International Shipping

If you’re ordering from Europe, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, please click the appropriate link to visit the international website for your region - these are operated by third parties but all products were made in the USA . We normally ship with either FedEx or UPS for international orders, and the order typically takes 2-3 weeks for delivery. Due to global constraints, shipping times may vary, and additional delays can occur due to customs inspections. Since we never know if a package will be held at customs, any import fees or taxes applied to the delivery must be paid by the recipient.
PRODUCT FAQs

After mixing, how do they dry? 
For filling a watercolor pan or palette with liquid watercolor to dry, we recommend filling the pan 1/2 way, let that dry at least 24 hours and then fill the rest of the pan and let that dry fully. This prevents mold from growing in the drying process in humid areas. If you live in a dry area, you can fill the pan to the top. Once a pan of paint is dry it will last/be usable forever and will not spoil.

Is the watercolor paint archival? 
Watercolor paint made with these pigments and gum arabic and honey are the most archival paints you can make. The pigments last thousands of years and there are no additives or fillers to affect the quality and longevity of the paint. 

Are they lightfast? 
Yes, the lightfastness of paints is based completely on the lightfastness of the pigments used in them. All natural earth pigments are lightfast, and you can see information and Safety Data Sheets for each pigment, click HERE

How do I know what the ideal consistency is when mixing?
Start with the 1 to 1 ratio and if it's too dry or too liquidy you can adjust by adding more pigment or more liquid. The test is, mix a touch of the paint with water and brush it onto your watercolor paper. If it's too transparent for you, add more pigment, if it's too opaque for you, add more base.

How long do the watercolors last after mixing?
For storing liquid paints, storing them in a refrigerator will help extend the life a bit more - at least several weeks to a few months. The dried cakes will last forever. Liquid watercolors keep longer when you add a natural preservative such as sodium benzoate or a pure essential oil of clove. If kept in jars in liquid form, they will stay good for 1-3 months. The "watercolor base" mixture will stay good in a small glass jar in the refrigerator for about one year. 

How should I store the watercolors after mixing?
-Store in small airtight jars in refrigerator 
-Store in small, empty aluminum tubes (will last a little longer than small jars). 
-Dry into cakes in half or full pans or any small, shallow container (may take a few days to fully dry). Will stay good indefinitely.

How about clean-up?
Gum arabic and honey clean up with hot water, and mild soap if needed. Watercolor paint made using this kit is fully biodegradable, with the exception of the pigments, which are pure earth and therefore do not break down or degrade.
