Shipping and Delivery
Which delivery destinations do you support?
We offer shipping to all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, eligible U.S. military addresses, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. Other destinations may also be offered at checkout. A particular address is confirmed as available for delivery only when checkout accepts the complete delivery address and displays an available shipping option.
See our Shipping Policy for the complete destination terms.
Is shipping free, and who is responsible for customs-related charges?
Shipping is free for every order accepted for delivery at checkout, with no minimum purchase requirement or destination-based shipping surcharge. Aainulani is responsible for the import duties, tariffs, import taxes, and customs-clearance charges described in our policy. Customers do not bear the final cost of those covered charges. If a carrier or customs authority nevertheless requests payment, contact us before paying whenever possible. If payment is required to receive a package, keep the official proof of payment and follow the review and reimbursement process in our Shipping Policy. Applicable sales tax is separate.
See our Shipping Policy for the complete shipping and customs terms.
What processing and delivery times should I expect?
Orders successfully placed before 4:00 p.m. ET on a business day begin processing that day. Orders successfully placed at or after 4:00 p.m. ET, or on a non-business day, begin processing on the next business day. The processing period for every order accepted for delivery is 1–2 business days.
For shipments to the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, eligible U.S. military addresses, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau, transit is estimated at 2–4 business days after the carrier takes physical possession, and normal total delivery is estimated at 3–6 business days from the applicable processing-start date. For any other destination supported at checkout, transit and total delivery times vary by destination and carrier; we do not promise a uniform 2–4-business-day transit estimate or 3–6-business-day total delivery estimate. These are estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates.
See our Shipping Policy for the complete timing rules.
Will I receive tracking information, and can an order arrive in separate packages?
Yes. Every customer package receives a tracking number, which is emailed to the address used at checkout. A label or tracking number may be created before the carrier takes physical possession.
An order may arrive in multiple packages, each with separate tracking and possibly a different delivery date. Split shipments do not create an additional shipping or customs charge. See our Shipping Policy for details.
What happens if processing is delayed?
If we cannot place a package in the carrier’s physical possession within the stated 1–2-business-day processing period, we will email you no later than the end of that period. The notice will explain the delay and let you accept a revised shipment date or cancel the affected unshipped items for a refund.
Silence does not count as agreement. If we do not receive your express agreement by the stated deadline, we will automatically cancel the affected unshipped items and issue the applicable refund within 2 business days. See our Shipping Policy for the complete delay process.
Returns and Refunds
What is the return window, and which items are eligible?
A return or exchange may be requested for any physical product purchased directly from this store, including promotional and discounted products, within 30 calendar days after the applicable product’s actual delivery when the conditions in our Refund Policy are met. Eligible change-of-mind returns are included. Physical products are not designated as Final Sale.
For an ordinary non-defective return, the product must be new, unused, unworn and unwashed where applicable, and include its original packaging, tags, parts, and accessories. See our Refund Policy for the complete eligibility and condition rules.
What steps should I follow to request and ship a return or exchange?
Email support@aainulani.shop within the 30-calendar-day period and include:
- Your order number and checkout email.
- The product and quantity.
- The reason for the request.
- The requested available same-priced variant, if you want an exchange.
Within 2 business days after receiving a complete request, we review it and email our decision. Wait for approval before sending a product. For an approved request, we provide return instructions and a prepaid label, charge no return shipping, restocking, or return processing fee, and require the package to be handed to the carrier on that label within 14 calendar days after we email the approval and prepaid label. A first carrier acceptance scan, dated acceptance receipt, or written carrier confirmation proves timely handoff; the package does not need to arrive at our fulfillment location within that 14-day period. An approved refund covers the amount actually charged for returned products after applicable checkout discounts, plus the corresponding sales tax, and is issued to the original payment method. See our Refund Policy for the complete process.
Can I return only part of an order?
Yes. You may request approval to return one or more eligible products or quantities without returning the entire order. After the approved return reaches our fulfillment location, we inspect the returned products or quantities under our Refund Policy. If they meet the return conditions, the refund applies only to those returned products or quantities; products or quantities that are not returned are unaffected.
The refund includes the amount actually charged for each returned product or quantity after applicable checkout discounts, plus the corresponding sales tax. We do not deduct return shipping, restocking, or return processing fees. See our Refund Policy for details.
How long do inspection, refund issuance, and bank posting take?
After tracking shows that an approved return was delivered to our fulfillment location, we inspect it and email the result within 2 business days. If the inspection confirms that the return meets our Refund Policy, we issue the refund to the original payment method within 2 business days after that approval.
For eligible returns, the estimated total time for inspection, refund issuance, and bank posting is typically up to 14 business days from the date return tracking shows delivery to our designated return address. Actual posting times may vary by bank or payment provider.
After we issue the refund, the bank or payment provider may take up to 10 additional business days to post it to the account. The bank or payment provider controls this posting period. It is separate from our 2-business-day period for issuing the refund. If the refund has not appeared 10 business days after we issue it, email support@aainulani.shop. See our Refund Policy for the complete timing rules.
Payments and Contact
Which cards and currency can I use, and when is payment taken?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, JCB, Diners Club, and Discover. All prices and payments are in U.S. dollars (USD).
When the order is successfully placed, we charge the selected payment method for the full order amount displayed at checkout. See our Payment Policy for the complete terms.
Are purchases one-time, or do you charge subscriptions or recurring fees?
Every order placed through this store is a one-time purchase. We do not offer subscriptions, automatic renewals, or recurring charges, and placing an order does not authorize a separate future purchase.
See our Payment Policy for the complete payment terms.
