INTERNATIONAL ORDERS AND P.O. BOXES

Regretfully, Essentiels cannot ship orders internationally or to P.O. boxes. Orders sent to APO/FPO will be shipped via certified US Postal Service Mail.

RESTRICTED ITEMS

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) restricts certain items from being shipped by air if they could contribute to an onboard fire or other mishap. These items include aerosols and alcohol-based products such as pressurized spray cans, fragrances, and nail enamels. Thus, in compliance with DOT rules, orders containing one of these items, can only be shipped via ground services and cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands or APO/FPO addresses.

RETURNED MERCHANDISE

If an order return is the result of our mistake, Essentiels will send you a pre-paid call tag to ship the item(s) back to us, otherwise, the cost of return shipping is the customer's responsibility. For good measure, we always recommend you secure a tracking method for shipping a return.
