PACKAGING of BULK ORDERS All bulk herbs will be packaged at our discretion in bulk sizes. This means that if you order 2 x 1-lb of an herb, for example, it will be packaged in one 2-lb bag – not two separate 1-lb bags. 5+ pounds will be in one large bag that is tide with a zip-tie. As a bulk supplier and environmentally conscious company, we find that this cuts down on excess waste due to packaging materials. The cost that would have gone towards those materials are passed on to you as savings. You may request individual bagging for bulk herbs and spices at any time by including this in the “Special Instructions” box at checkout, or mentioning this at the time you place your order. Unfortunately, we are unable to meet any other alternative packaging requests. SHIPPING OVERAGES - We do our best to calculate the correct shipping cost for your package and sometimes customers a charged a little more than they should have. If this occurs we send you an email with the amount of credit we are applying to your account to use towards your next purchase. We do not issue refunds due to the amount of accounting that is needed to reconcile each month.

Any refused or non-deliverable packages will be canceled upon receipt and will be subject to a return-shipping fee by the carrier and this fee will be deducted from the refund amount for the products. Original shipping is non-refundable. We are not able to honor requests for product exchanges but will give you a store credit only on unopened packages. Returned items must be in their original, unopened/undamaged packaging. Mountain Maus Remedies cannot accept opened/un-used portions of herbs because the herbs have been exposed to an uncontrolled environment and Mountain Maus Remedies would not be unable to guarantee the herbs for re-sale, restocking or for other human consumption. Before any herbal products are allowed into our facilities, we request a "pre-ship" sample for analysis. This sample is analyzed using organoleptic (sensory) and laboratory methods, and if approved, it is authorized for order. When the herb we ordered arrives at our facility, it is immediately quarantined for QC review. At this point, a qualified Quality Control member will extract samples for immediate testing in our laboratory. All of our herbs have passed HPTLC which is the primary chemical test for identification of all pharmacopoeia monographs on botanicals (including USP). Therefore, we do not accept returns on products that you have opened and sent out for testing. We do not accept returns on products that have been mixed or blended together with other ingredients. This contaminates the raw product(s) leaving us unable to assess them in the original condition in which they were received. If you are purchasing bulk ingredients in order to create formulations, please inspect raw materials carefully before combining. We would recommend performing a small test batch with a specific ingredient if you have any questions or concerns about its possible performance in your recipe. We do not accept returns for clearance items. We do not accept returns of opened essential oils, cough drops or lozenges. The tamper evident safety seal must remain in order to qualify for a return.

Please do not return products that do not meet the return criteria listed above, as we will not be able to issue refunds for non-qualifying items. If you return products that do not meet the return criteria listed above, we will notify you that the product does not meet the return criteria, you will have 15 calendar days from date of notification to provide payment for postage for return shipping to you. If after 30 calendar days has passed and no provisions of payment has been received, the product will then be disposed of. DISCREPANCIES AND SHORTAGES From time to time we will change some of our herbal tea and tinctures blends to omit or add herbs. This is done at our discretion with much testing and research and may be done without changing the listing or notifying our customer prior to shipment..
