Domestic & International Shipping Policy
Please note that turnaround time + shipping time = total delivery time. A tracking number will be emailed once your item is completed and shipped. Exact turnaround times are always listed on each product page and updated regularly on our FAQ page.
Shipping Rates & Delivery Estimates
Shipping charges are calculated and displayed at checkout.
Domestic Orders: Shipped primarily through USPS.
International Orders: Shipped via FedEx, UPS, DHL, or occasionally USPS.
Shipments to P.O. Boxes / APO / FPO
Belle Botanical Creations ships to U.S. addresses, U.S. territories, and APO/FPO/DPO addresses, as well as internationally.
Please note: international shipments are subject to customs fees and duty taxes set by your country. These fees are the responsibility of the customer.
Shipment Confirmation & Tracking
You will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number once your order has shipped, after we are finished with your order (see turnaround times on product listings & FAQ page)
International Customers: Customs, Duties, & Taxes
International customers (outside of the United States) are responsible to pay any applicable inbound duties, taxes, and any other fees which your local Customs Authority deems appropriate. These fees are paid to your local carrier or government and are not collected by Belle Botanical Creations, and thus cannot be refunded.
We ship international packages DDU (duties and taxes unpaid), meaning that these fees are not included in the price of the goods you purchase from our website. All applicable fees must be paid by the recipient in order to receive the parcel. As we are unable to advise the amount of these fees, we recommend contacting your country's customs office or tax agent for respective charges and rates.
The shipping partner (UPS or Fed-EX) usually sends an email informing you of the duties due before delivery. This can also be found on the tracking number. The package may be listed under for the shipper name of: Kaitlyn Benincosa or Belle Botanical Creations.
If the duties remain unpaid or the package is refused, the item might be returned to us, rendering it ineligible for a refund as we would then be required to cover the duties & return shipping costs for its re-importation into the USA.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number. We recommend checking your tracking regularly, as your local customs office or delivery carrier may contact you directly to request payment or additional documentation.
Depending on your country’s regulations, you may be required to provide proof of identity(such as a government-issued ID) and a copy of your order receipt to clear customs. This is a normal part of the process and helps verify the value and contents of your package.
Delays in delivery can occur if import fees are not paid promptly or if customs clearance information is not provided. Please respond to any carrier or customs requests as soon as possible to avoid delays.
Damages
Belle Botanical Creations is not liable for products lost or damaged during shipping. If your order arrives damaged and you purchased shipping insurance, contact us immediately to file a claim. Please save all packaging materials and the damaged item(s).
Incorrect Addresses & Refused Delivery
* We are not responsible for orders shipped to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer. Additional shipping charges for re-shipping are the customer’s responsibility.
* Cancellations and returns are not accepted in these cases.
* If a package is “returned to sender,” postal carriers do not prioritize these shipments. It may take weeks, or even months for us to receive the parcel.
Navidium Shipping Insurance
We highly recommend adding Navidium Shipping Protection at checkout. Navidium covers packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged in transit.

* Tracking shows “delivered” but no package received (allow up to 14 business days; couriers sometimes scan early or leave with a neighbor/secure location).
* Tracking has not updated for 14 consecutive days.
* High parcel volumes may result in delays; we reserve the right to classify such cases as “delayed.”
What We Deem as Damaged:
* Items arrive damaged in transit.
* Items are missing due to the parcel opening in transit.
*Photo evidence is required.*
What We Do Not Cover:
* Orders still in production (within turnaround times).
* Incorrect or incomplete addresses.
* Delays caused by weather, natural disasters, holidays, or courier access restrictions.
* Customs delays or unpaid customs fees.
* Recipient unavailable or failure to pick up at designated locations.

Our Policy for Unprotected Parcels:
If Navidium is not purchased, we must file a claim directly with the courier. This process may take 6–8 weeks and is at the courier’s discretion. We cannot guarantee a replacement or refund.
If courier tracking shows GPS or photographic delivery evidence (to your property, neighbor, or secure location), Belle Botanical Creations is not responsible for replacement or refund.
Shipping Protection is non-refundable.
