How to order

ORDERING
It is important that the customers read the terms & conditions and privacy notice before ordering. We understand that ordering from an online boutique requires trust from both parts. Therefore we have written down the guidelines and instructions for our clients in order to make the use of Damastikoru store easier and more trustworthy. If you have any further questions in mind, please don´t hesitate to contact us for more information. We will be happy to assist you. Please notice: There is no minimum order at Damastikoru online boutique. The price includes only the piece of jewelry not leather cord, silver chain, etc., unless otherwise stated. All prices mentioned in the product descriptions include 24 % VAT (Value Added Tax = sales tax levied in the European Union and included in the retail prices) unless mentioned otherwise.
If you are ordering within the European Union, the VAT will be charged from you. Outside the European customers are responsible for all customs and import duties of the destination country, and Damastikoru cannot be held responsible for those costs. These duties vary by country, therefore Damastikoru is unable to advice you on those costs. For detailed information, we advise you to contact your local customs authorities. To order from Damastikoru online boutique, the customer must be at least 18 years of age. You can order directly from the online boutique or you can order by sending an email to Damastikoru or giving us a phone call.

PLACING AN ORDER
Browse through the Damastikoru online boutique categories on the left. When you find an item you wish to purchase, choose the quantity (as a default there is 1 in the box, you can change that by removing 1 and by adding another quantity you like). Then click on the “Add this to Cart” button. The item is now in the cart. At any time you can check the contents of your cart by clicking “Shopping Cart”. If you want to modify or empty the contents of your cart, you can change the numbers of the products and then click “Update” before moving on or back. Shipping charges are not shown at this stage.
When you have chosen the items you wish to purchase, go to “Checkout” and then “Log In” or if you are a new customer, then “create a new account” and follow the instructions and fill in the form. After filling in the form, click “Submit”. You will be transferred to our secure server, then fill in all the details and confirm the order. Always click “continue” when requested. On completing your order you will receive a confirmation. It is maybe a good idea to print out this confirmation for future reference.

SHIPPING
All orders are handled with the principle “first come, first served”. After receiving your order, we will send you a confirmation by email. Please check that all information is correct and let us know as soon as possible, if that is not the case. If for some reason you do not receive an order confirmation within 24 hours, please contact Damastikoru, and we will investigate what has happened. Our products are usually sent out within two weeks.
If for any reason the dispatch will take longer than two weeks, we will inform the customer about this and also why there is a delay. Please consider that some countries have restrictions on what goods can be imported. If Damastikoru detects that some products cannot be sent to you because of these restrictions, we will contact you and discuss the matter and find a solution to the problem. If Damastikoru for some reason cannot ship the products, we will of course refund your money.

DELIVERY COSTS
We calculate the shipping and packaging costs based on the total value of your order. The total order value includes VAT 23 %. We normally use Finnish priority mail, but if you wish to cut down on costs and wait a little longer for your package to arrive, we can also send it by economy post. In Europe (EU and non-EU countries) you can expect to receive your priority mail package within 2 – 8 working days. To all other countries it should take 6 – 14 working days to reach you. If you choose for economy mail, the delivery times to Europe will be app. 5 – 12 working days end elsewhere in the world 7 – 30 working days. (These delivery estimations are given by Finnish Post.)

PAYMENTS
The final payment will always be charged in euros according to the rate of the day. There are two payment options. You can pay by your credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or by a bank transfer. If you choose the latter option, we will send our bank account details to you by email and then you will be able to fulfill the transaction. We will set aside the item(s) you wish to order for 14 days starting the day after we send the payment instructions to you. We should receive your payment within 14 days. If that is not the case, the item(s) will be put back in the online boutique available for other customers to purchase.
When you choose to pay by your credit card, it is easy and safe, because the transaction is made on a secure server of the Finnish credit card service company for Visa and Mastercard payments (Luottokunta). Their server uses the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to make all credit card transactions secure. When you are in this secure mode, your information is being encrypted, so your card details and personal data cannot be viewed by anyone else. You can see that you are in a secure mode when the address in the “address bar” changes from being http:// to https:// .We strongly recommend not to send any credit card numbers & details by email, since emails are not secured connections.
