Inspection of Product Upon Receipt
You must examine the product when you receive it. If any item is damaged, you must notify Lord Jim Inc. at once. Lord Jim Inc. will not consider any claim for damaged items more than ten (10) days from the date of delivery.

Shipping & Title
Lord Jim Inc. will arrange shipping of the product to your shipping address. Ivory will be shipped next day via UPS fully insured for a cost of $16.50 per piece.  If you order multiple pieces we may, at our discretion, recalculate and LOWER your shipping fee before charging your credit card if we are able to conveniently co-package these pieces. The cost of shipping on all other merchandise available on this web site will range from a minimum of $10.00 to the $16.50 for the ivory.  On the rare occasion any piece requires an additional shipping fee, this fact will be noted under the purchase price.  Again, if Lord Jim Inc. is able to co-package multiple purchases, or in any other way, reduce the shipping fees noted on your order, we will make this adjustment before your order is charged.  Title to the product passes to you upon delivery to the carrier and risk of loss passes to you upon delivery. The cost of normal shipping and handling is stated on the Site and will be charged to you at time of your purchase unless otherwise stated. Lord Jim Inc. will not be responsible for delays in delivery due to events beyond its control, including shortage of supplies and materials, labor strikes, transportation failures, or acts of God.

Terms of payment are within Lord Jim Inc.’s discretion, and unless otherwise stated on the product web page, payment must be received by Lord Jim Inc. at the time the order is placed and always prior to the time that the product is shipped to you. Your order is not binding upon Lord Jim Inc. until accepted by Lord Jim Inc.

Product Returns
If the product you purchased is not what you expected and you are not satisfied, it is returnable and you may return the product within three days of receipt. We will replace the product or provide a credit for the product’s purchase price, less any restocking fees and shipping charges.
