Allergies or Reactions:

How long will it take to receive my refund?

Once your package arrives to our building, our aim is to process that within one week. Once it has been accepted, you will be issued a refund, or a store credit will be processed. You will receive an email alerting you to the completion of the return. 

MISSING AN ITEM?

Safety - Safety - Safety! Most samples, and smaller items, will be placed in a ziplock baggie. They are then usually rolled in the brown packing paper to protect them from damage during shipping.

Please unroll all pieces to be sure your item is not just snuggled for safekeeping before assuming an item is missing. 99% of the time this is where your item(s) are!

Also, be sure to remove every bit of packaging to find any lost items/papers/manuals at the bottom of your shipping box. *IF you cannot locate your item, let us know immediately by sending us an email with a photo of the items you received. Contact us no later than 72 hours of receipt.

UN-DELIVERABLE packages

SHIPPING FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE 

If your package was returned to us for any reason, you will be issued a refund [- shipping] within a few days of us receiving it back. You will receive an email when this is completed. 

• Customer address errors. 
• Returned Shipment by carrier for Any Reason. They may provide it to us and they may not. In either case, Platinum Skin Care is not responsible for paying to reship an order that was returned to us. 

Domestic packages can take upwards of a few weeks to reach us and several weeks if your order is a global shipment. 

A global package may incur extra charges to be returned to us. This fee can be more costly than what it was to ship your order originally. If you have refused your item/not paid your duties/custom/taxes, we may have to pay the carrier this additional fee to get your package returned to us. If we have to do so, the exact costs of this additional shipping (RTS FEE) will also be deducted from your product refund*. 

*If your product value/total is equal to or less-than the cost to have it returned, we reserve the right to refuse the excess charges to have it returned to us. In that case they will destroy the package and you will not get a refund issued. Please pay your duty fees! 

WHY DO WE CHARGE FOR SHIPPING?

Many companies out there like to offer "free shipping". Is it really free? We are here to tell you that NO ... it is most definitely not free. Each individual item is marked to a higher price tag to cover your shipping. Estimates are an additional $5+ per item. Purchased 3 items? That is an extra $15 they just charged for shipping that will cost somewhere between $3-$9. Is it really free? ... Here we price our products fairly and charge exact shipping for your entire cart. No games or hidden fees. 

Absolutely no one will give you shipping for Free. It has been paid for by YOU! Just in a way you aren't aware of! "Free Shipping" is marketing. 

*If you are a skin care junkie - we definitely have our own version of "prime". We call it our VIP Membership Club. You can purchase a membership and get $10 off shipping, 20% off products, 5% off combos and get 2 free samples at checkout. *minimum order required. 

Insurance on every package. 

• Due to shipping policies in the US, Our Insurance can not cover issues shipped to countries that are sanctioned by the US. 
  

How do I file a claim for my lost, stolen or damaged order?

Email support@platinumskincare.com for help.

• Damages - If there are damages, we will require photos of the box/items to show for the claim. Do NOT throw out proof of damage. We must have that to get a replacement. 
• Delivered - not there/Porch piracy - If you received an email that your package was delivered, but you can not find it:
• Firstly: check all areas by your home/building, check with immediate neighbors, and with other persons in the household.
• If you are in an apartment complex that has boxes/office deliveries. Please check with them prior to contacting us.
• Your Tracking will show where the package was left. If you can not locate it, and no one has brought it TO you within 3 days of delivery, email us so we can get this taken care of. 

• Missing item - There are times that a package was opened by a carrier/worker/? and something was removed.
• There are times the box was opened and was REtaped in a different fashion than we would .. or it can be crushed/ripped. We need a Photo of this damage to show the reason for theft.
• Other times, possibly an item was missed by our packing team. This is VERY rare, as all items are scanned Into the box. 
• We apologize, but free samples will not be replaced. You can find them in a clear, ziplock baggie in your packaging. Sometimes they may be placed in a zipper bag KIT (Eye Peel Kit or Lip Peel Kit for example). Many times they are wrapped in the brown paper for safety! Always CHECK and UNROLL your papers! Do not just toss out your samples. 

Please alert us immediately upon finding an issue. A delivered package should be inspected within 3 days for any damaged/lost items.

WHEN DO WE PULL AND SHIP ORDERS?

We pull orders every weekday by 8:00 am Eastern standard time. Any orders that come in after that point will not be pulled until the next business day *which could be the following week. If there is a RUSH, you MUST call us directly ( 1-800-917-3155 ) and see if we can pull and ship the order for you that day. An email or Facebook message will not be seen until several hours later. Our pickups are 3:00 p.m. eastern. Eastern is generally a few hours ahead of the rest of the country, so aim to call us early if you are not on the east coast. 

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page. Delays that happen with the shipping company have no reflection on Platinum Skin Care. If you have a concern, please contact the carrier directly and give them your tracking numbers.

Once your package leaves our facility we can only track through the shipping provider. Delays would be best handled directly with the shipper and your provided tracking number. 

Is my delivery guaranteed to be delivered or money back? 

No. Delivery times are estimates only. USPS, Fedex and UPS will not honor guarantees unless it is an overnight guaranteed. 2-day is not included. This is standard shipping for us and most packages go out this way. Always remember that times are by business days only and the day of shipment does Not count in the time. 

The day you place your order is generally not the day it will leave our facility. This can happen, but only if your order was placed prior to 8am eastern time. If it is placed after this time, it will go out the next business day. Keep in mind if this is a Friday, the next business day will be on Monday. An overnight package placed at 9am on a Friday will not leave our facility until Monday and will not be delivered until Tuesday or Wednesday. Pending carrier times. 

UPS and Fedex offer delivery options on the tracking pages. If you require them to Hold your package, or make a special circumstance, Click the Delivery options button and update your information. *They may require you to create an account with them. This is OK, it is a personal account for you only. 

UPS - UPS will NOT deliver into your mailbox. They will either leave the package at your door/porch/... or, if you are in an apartment they may request a signature from you to help avoid your package from being stolen. If you are not there after a few attempts, you will either have to pick it up at UPS or it will be returned to us. Consider shipping to a work address if you are not home most days. 

FedEx - Federal Express will NOT deliver into your mailbox. They will either leave the package at your door/porch/... or, if you are in an apartment they may request a signature from you to help avoid your package from being stolen. If you are not there after a few attempts, you will either have to pick it up at Fedex or it will be returned to us. Consider shipping to a work address if you are not home most days. 

What countries do you ship to? 

We are happy to ship your package anywhere on the planet we can, but YOU must be aware of your country's import policies and be prepared to accept our package. Platinum Skin Care is not responsible for knowing, and relaying to you, the ever-changing regulations of each country. We are US based. Any knowledge we have is from on-hand experience and we will relay that to you, change or remove countries as we see the need. 

Some countries require special licensing like Spain (of which we no longer ship to), Italy, Maylasia and India. Israel seems to have updated their cosmetic import regulations in a positive manner. See here. We no longer ship to Africa. We have noticed that shipping with the Mail is the best option at times. Asendia would be the option to choose if you are looking to do so.

Our Checkout may show you an ESTIMATE of what your custom or duty fees could be, but this is an ESTIMATE ONLY. This is automatic and is not accurate due to the daily changes in tax rates and tarriffs/customs. By purchasing on platinumskincare.com you are doing so with the complete understanding that any amounts shown are not the true values that will be due when your package arrives, and that Platinum Skin Care will not pay for your customs/tarriffs/taxes/duty/etc....  above this value on your behalf. 

Example: 

• Wrong address/Zip/Undeliverable. Carrier choses to RTS (Return To Sender) to Platinum Skin Care. 
• Product costs are 100% refunded to your method of payment once package is delivered to us. 
• Custom/Duty fees are already paid to Your Country and are NON refundable. 
• Shipping fees are already paid to carrier and are NON refundable. 

WHY ARE THERE: Levy fees / Import fees / Vat Fees / Customs fees / Duties / Tariffs? 

Charging fees on imported goods is a way of Your Country protecting itself against revenue loss. We have no control over fees that may arise if you are purchasing from Platinum Skin Care.

*We also have no control over tariffs, and our prices will not chage daily or weekly due to any current tariffs or global negotiations. Platinum Skin Care's product costs are set and are shown as the same cost to anyone in the United States and any other countries. All prices are in US dollars. If you have a browser extension that changes our US prices, this is fine. It is not regulated by Platinum Skin Care, so please confirm on a 3rd party that your prices shown are accurate to the global market.
