Checkout Problems | Credit / Debit Card Issues:
If you are having problems with our checkout please first double check that you are entering your details correctly and that all checkout fields are complete.
Sometimes with card orders the following problems occur: The card may have expired. Check that your card is still valid.
You may have entered some information incorrectly. Check that you have filled in all the required fields correctly.
You may have reached your credit limit. Contact your bank to check that you have not exceeded the authorized purchase limit.
If you still experience problems, please contact us.
My order didn’t go through, but Glass Alchemy has my money!
A declined card may leave you with a “pending charge” in your bank account. This means that your funds were held aside and will return to your account in a couple of business days. Glass Alchemy does not have these funds and cannot help clear them from your account.
Most credit/ debit card declines are due to incorrect information being filled out.
If you have attempted to purchase through GlassAlchemy.com and have had your card declined, DO NOT TRY AGAIN until you have made the proper changes to the information entered in the card fields and billing address. Make sure that you are 100% sure that everything typed in the fields is correct. Additional declines of your card may result in more “pending charges” that will tie up money in your account. We recommend calling your financial institution to find out when your funds will clear.
My shipping quote is high. Why?
Sometime UPS and USPS rates calculate high due to human error. Please make sure your address is entered correctly, with accurate spelling, spacing and minimal abbreviations. If the address does not match the shipping database, UPS and USPS will automatically calculate a higher rate.
When will my order arrive?
All orders typically ship within 1-3 business days once the order has been placed. Orders ship Monday through Friday excluding Holidays. If you place your order Friday night, the processing time will not start until we are back in the office on Monday.
You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking number once the order has shipped.

More remote locations can take longer, and winter weather can create additional delays.

What countries do you ship to?

I was not at home when UPS came and now my package is being returned to you. What can I do?
If it's not possible to deliver the shipment at the first attempt the courier will try to redeliver the package the next day. In some situations the driver may leave the package at a local UPS access point, they will leave instructions on how to collect.
If you are unavailable after a second attempt the courier will return the delivery to us. We are sorry but once the order is on its way back to us we are unable to turn it around and must wait for it to arrive back at our warehouse. We will then contact you and arrange a redelivery.
Please try to use a delivery address where you know someone will be available. An office or work address is often the best solution if no one will be at home.
