Fulfillment & Transit Matrix
What are your shipping parameters?
Standard Delivery is FREE across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Upgraded premium Express tracking options are available worldwide at a flat rate of $3.99 USD.
How long does order processing take?
Specimen inspection, cleaning, and protective multi-layer packaging take 1–3 business days. Safe tracking references link straight to your email context upon transit launch.
How are fragile minerals tracked?
Once your geological parcel clears our sorting pipeline, automated diagnostic links send to your device. You can look over active carrier paths securely in real-time.
Do you support international delivery?
Yes, we ship crystals globally. Customs handling times vary depending on regional parameters. Any border tariffs or assessment clearances belong to the destination collector's care.
Specimen Curation & Aesthetics
Are your minerals natural?
Absolutely. We emphasize raw earth integrity, showcasing natural matrix structures, unheated crystallization paths, and true geographic authenticity fields across all items.
Will my item mirror the sample image?
Because nature crafts every mineral variant completely custom, small deviations in hue profile, geode internal geometry, and stone point count will show. You receive a truly distinct mineral artifact.
How are delicate clusters protected?
We insulate items inside custom shockproof multi-layer casings. If an extreme freight impact happens to break a core cluster point, contact our team within 7 days for quick support.
Returns, Inspection & Claims
What is your returns policy?
We extend a 30-day assessment timeframe. To remain eligible for safe reversal, specimens must rest completely unmounted, unmodified, and inside their baseline protective display cases.
How do I process a return request?
Reach out directly to help.themineralslab@gmail.com stating your reference number. Our curators will evaluate the context and send safe parcel return guidelines.
How fast are refunds issued?
Once items safely reach our warehouse desk and complete checking (under 3 business days), funds apply straight back to your original payment line within 10 commercial banking days.
Transactional Security
Is my financial connection secure?
Completely. All checkouts navigate isolated, high-tier SSL encryption tunnels and fully PCI-compliant token processing channels. We never store credit credentials on local servers.
What payment profiles apply?
We accept standard credit options including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, alongside secure integrations through PayPal and digital wallet layers.
