introducing my ZODIAC BOOT charm and pin collection! each sign will debut at the start of its season in 2021!
it's finally Virgo season, and it's finally time for the VIRGO BOOT! highly discerning, ready to help, and sharp as a tack (in more ways than one!), Virgo is practically perfect in every way. this precious pin or charm with a just-so bow depicts a heart-shaped lock and key - perfect for problem-solving Virgo, who can always get to the heart of the matter!
the VIRGO BOOT is made of super shiny hard enamel with beautifully detailed linework in silver-toned plating. available as either a pin or a charm, it's 1½" tall and about 1½" wide at its widest point.
pins have a pink heart-shaped rubber clutch closure.
charms have a 1 cm silver toned lobster clasp.
both styles are carded on a branded backing card.
thanks for your patience as you wait for your package!

PROCESSING
i know you're excited to get your order, and i'm excited to get it to you! i ship all orders as quick as i can, but since i'm a one person show over here, it can sometimes take me a bit longer to process orders than it might for a big-box retailer.
orders are generally processed and shipped out within 3 business days, but occasionally may take longer. (remember, saturday and sunday are not business days!) if it's been less than a week since you placed your order, just give me a couple more days to finish packing up your items. if it's been 7+ days since your order date and you still haven't received a shipping notification, please send an email with your order number to misslyons@gmail.com. i really appreciate your patience!
TRACKING YOUR ORDER
DOMESTIC ORDERS:
all orders within the US include tracking, with projected delivery within 4-6 business days of ship date for first class shipments and 2-3 business days for priority mail shipments. all orders are shipped from 29 palms, california (92277). you'll get an email with your tracking information when the shipping label for your order has been generated. (you may receive your tracking information the day before your order actually ships out!)
once your shipment has been dropped off at the post office, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days for your package information to appear in the USPS system. please allow at least 24 hours after receiving your shipping notification for your tracking number to show up!
keep in mind that USPS tracking is a guide, not an exact science. the barcode on your package’s label is scanned as it moves through various shipping facilities on its way to you, but it’s not uncommon for scanners to miss the barcode, causing tracking information to be insufficiently updated. please be patient and give your package time to arrive safely to you.
once i drop off packages at the post office i unfortunately don't have any control over them, so if you have questions about the status of your shipment after it's gone out, talk to your mail carrier or call your local post office to follow up. if after you've spoken with a USPS rep your issue still isn't resolved, email me and i will make sure you get a replacement or refund.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
as of january 2018, the united states postal service has changed how they handled first class international shipments, significantly raising the cost of international shipping rates.
to keep shipping costs reasonable for me and my international customers, i use a fulfillment program called global advantage provided by my shipping service. international orders are sent to a postal processing facility in los angeles, california (about 20 miles from my office here in anaheim). they are then shipped on to their international destinations from that location.
unfortunately this new service does not have the same tracking capabilities as USPS. you will be able to track when your package has left the US, but not all packages will be tracked upon entering their destination countries - this is dependent on the postal system in your location. some international shipments will continue to be tracked when they arrive in their destination countries, with others only tracking until they leave the US - so please keep in mind when ordering internationally that your provided tracking information may be incomplete.
i understand this is a little frustrating, but this is currently my only option for keeping international shipping available, and so far i haven't had any issues with international packages being delivered! however, it may take a little longer for international packages tor each their destinations. international orders generally take around 10-15 business days to reach their destinations, but can occasionally take as long as 6 weeks.
if you're leery about using the global advantage program and would like your international order sent via a more trackable shipping service, just send me an email at misslyons@gmail.com and we can discuss other options at a higher cost.
REFUNDS & EXCHANGES
refunds or exchanges may be made only in the case of shop error (i.e., you have been sent the wrong item or your item is faulty upon arrival) and are issued on a case-by-case basis. shipping costs are not refundable.
REMEMBER!
all orders are sent as quickly and as securely as possible, but unfortunately USPS isn't perfect, and mail does occasionally get backed up or lost in the system. remember that whenever you order an item online, it runs a small risk of being delayed due to circumstances on the part of the shipping provider, which are beyond the control of the shipper.
i do everything i can to make sure your order will get to you on time, and all orders placed according to the above guidelines will be dropped off at the post office on schedule, but i am not responsible for mistakes or delays caused by USPS and/or foreign postal services. once your package is in the care of the post office it's no longer in my hands. that said, if your order is goes missing and USPS can't help you track it down, just email me at misslyons@gmail.com and i'll do my best to make sure it's replaced or refunded.
