I honestly wonder the same thing myself, but you can blame USPS for this one. The cost to ship a single bracelet anywhere in the US ranges anywhere from $3.61 to $4.16. However, I choose a flat rate because it all averages out to about $3.97 for each package. Hence, $4 for shipping.
Do you make all of these bracelets yourself?
Yes, I do! I pick out all of the beads, color combos, phrases, etc. The only help I utilize is when I ask my husband to cut a bunch of bracelet string for me while he watches YouTube videos.
Is there a lifetime guarantee on these bracelets?
No, because I just started this shop and I have no clue how long these bracelets will last. I don't like to make promises I can't keep. Will they survive the eventual collapse of society? Will a civilization in the future will find my bracelets preserved in amber like the mosquito in Jurassic Park? Possibly.
Until I know more, if you bought a bracelet and the string breaks, please take a pic and email me at [email protected] and say "yo, this was mad unfortch, but the string broke." I will create you a new one and send it out to you for free.
Can I haphazardly toss my bracelets in the washing machine with bleach and Tide Pods on a bulky setting with a medium size load of bowling balls to clean them?
No, that is wrong and ridiculous. It's also not a real question I've been asked, but I just tricked you into reading the answer to this cause the question was so silly.
Here's the best ways to care for your bracelets:
- Take your bracelet off before washing dishes, taking a shower, cleaning a fish tank, sticking your hand in a Costco size pickle jar, but the last pickle is at the very bottom, so you're gonna have to dive deep into the pickle juice with your whole forearm - well, you get it. Bottom line: avoid all moisture.
- Take your bracelet off before bed and while working out, as the oils and sweat in your skin can wear the beads down quickly.
- Wipe them down periodically with a clean cloth to take off any excess unintentional oils/moisture.
Yes, I do! The price per bracelet can range based on the following:
- the number of bracelets you would like
- if I have the beads you are requesting in stock
- how soon you will need it
