Handcrafted Rewards Program

How many points do I get on an order?
You earn one point per dollar, not including change. This only applies to the subtotal - discounts, taxes, and shipping costs aren’t included.

How long do my points last?
They expire after 12 months of inactivity. If you make a purchase after your points expire, you’ll be in the Creator tier. 

Why didn’t I get my birthday points?
You must make a purchase of at least $1 to earn those points. Additionally, if you sign up the same day as your birthday, you won’t get points until next year.

Why didn’t I get points when I used a gift certificate?
Points are given to the customer who bought the gift card, not the recipient. The recipient will get points if an additional payment is used on the order. For example, if the gift card only covered $25 of a $50 subtotal, the recipient will get 25 points.

I forgot to sign in/create an account. Can you add points to my order?
Points will not be added if you check out as a guest. Make sure you're registered and signed in before placing an order.

Can I move my points to another account?
Points are non-transferable. We encourage customers to use one account for easy access to rewards and past orders.

I have a free gift in my cart. Why can’t I check out?
Gifts can only be sent with orders, so you need at least one paid item in your cart to redeem them. They also can't be sent with free shipping items like kits and digital goods.

What happens after I redeem a free gift?
Points are removed from your account when the order status is marked complete.

Why was I charged shipping for my free item? 
Shipping is based on the total weight of the package and the destination. If a reward item is being sent outside the lower 48 states, there may be additional shipping fees. 

Which shipping options are eligible for the "free shipping on orders of $250+ for Expert Tier customers" promotion?
If you're an Expert Tier customer and your order totals $250 or more, you can enjoy free shipping. However, this promotion specifically applies to UPS Ground shipping options with a max value of $50. Please note that it does not cover USPS Postal, USPS Parcel, or international shipping.

Tax-exempt customers are ineligible for the Handcrafted Rewards Program. Wholesale and special orders don't earn points. Please contact customer service with any questions or concerns.

Orders

Where can I find my order history?
Click the account button in the top right-hand corner, then click Orders. 

Where can I find my downloads?
Click the account button in the top right-hand corner, then click My Downloads. This section has labels, e-books, and more.

How do I cancel an order?
We allow cancellations up to one hour after the order is placed. First, log into your Bramble Berry account. Then, click My Orders - you’ll see options to reorder or cancel. The cancel option is only available if it’s within the hour time limit. 

What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. We don’t accept personal checks or money orders.

If your card is declined, it’s likely an incorrect address or security code. We take our customers’ security very seriously, so we need the exact billing address and security codes for all of our credit card transactions. You can call us at 877-627-7883 to help with payment. We don’t recommend emailing credit card information.

How do I track my order?
Once your package ships, we’ll email you with tracking information.

Do you ship internationally?
We do ship internationally. Please read our International Shipping Policies for more information. 

What happens if my order is damaged or missing?
We can issue a refund or replace your missing, incorrect, or damaged items within 30 days of purchase. Please check your order as soon as possible. If anything is missing or incorrect, call 877-627-7883 or email [email protected]. It helps if you have your order number and a list of the items. Note: we can only reship to the address on the original order. Due to difficulties clearing international replacement orders, we offer refunds for our international customers only.

If your order is damaged, please take photos of the items, box, and labels and email it to us. If you choose a replacement, we’ll ship it to the original shipping address. If a package is sent to an incorrect address and returned to us, you are responsible for the cost to ship it again.

Are your products tax exempt?
Many states are now requiring taxes for online purchases. If you are tax exempt and have a valid state permit, please send that to [email protected] so that we can notate your account. 

How do I return items?
Eligible items must be unused and in saleable condition. That includes packaging, molds, books, stamps, toys, scales, tools, etc. Because we guarantee the safety and purity of our material, we can’t accept returns on any consumables including sodium and potassium hydroxide, essential oils, fragrance oils, colorants, soap bases, herbs, fixed oils, waxes, liquids, powders, butters, kits, or e-books out of our direct control. 

If you want to return an item, please call us at 877-627-7883 or email us at [email protected] within 30 days for a resolution or a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). 

We cannot accept returns without prior authorization. All unsolicited products will not be refunded or returned.

All refunds for the product price are applied to the original method of payment. Original and return shipping costs, associated fees, duties, and taxes will not be refunded. We recommended insuring the return and getting the tracking information.

Please allow us 10 business days to process returns.

Products

How do I request product documents?
Please request all documents at the time of purchase by emailing [email protected]. We are a cosmetic warehouse, so none of our products are meant for internal use.

  • Lot Numbers: We can provide these for any of our lab-tested products. 
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA): These are lab results for a specific batch of product. Please ask for both the COA and lot number at the time of purchase. We can’t provide the correct documents without the lot number.
  • SDS: These are available on the product pages in the Specifications tab. The document includes Department of Transportation (DOT) standards, a hazardous material list, characteristics like specific gravity, and the California Prop 65 warning if applicable. SDS is only available on products that are considered hazardous at a 100% usage rate. Most cosmetic products are used at a much lower percentage.
  • IFRA: This document has the standard usage rates for our fragrance oils. You can also use the Fragrance Calculator. We can’t provide IFRA documents for essential oils.
  • EU Allergen: These are European standard or common allergen statements that list the known allergens in a fragrance oil formulation. It has the percentage concentrate of specific elements, but it doesn’t have a complete list of all the fragrance oil compounds. Essential oils don’t have EU Allergens.

We can’t provide lot numbers, COA, IFRA, or EU Allergen reports for samples, sampler sets, trial sizes or kits.

Where can I ask questions about your products?
On each product page, you’ll find a Q&A section with helpful tips on how to use the product. Feel free to ask or answer a question there. You can also email [email protected] for help.

Do you offer gift certificates?
You can purchase gift certificates in set amounts ranging from $25 to $500. They’re sent right to your inbox. You can also access the gift certificates in your account by going to saved payments.
