Additional Shipping Insurance
As of 2023: If you decline Additional insurance and ship your products through USPS Ground Advantage or UPS Ground, your order will be covered up to $100.
Additional Insurance is HIGHLY encouraged but not required. Once the products leave our Facility, We have no control over what happens to it on its way to you.
Our clients have a choice of shipping through USPS or UPS. Both shipping carriers cover up to $100 in insurance coverage. if you wish, you may purchase additional insurance at check out. again, We HIGHLY suggest purchasing additional insurance for any order of the amount of $100 or more.
You have three options to insure your products during shipment (NOT REQUIRED BUT HIGHLY ENCOURAGED)
Either purchase priority mail shipping through USPS or purchase additional insurance at checkout. Here are your options:
Shipping Insurance Coverage cost is based off your zip code. This policy covers your order up to $100 without additional insurance.
OR
You may purchase additional insurance at checkout:
Additional Insurance Coverage of $50 costs a fee of $5
Additional Insurance Coverage of $100 costs a fee of $15
Additional Insurance Coverage of $250 costs a fee of $25
**the additional insurance covers over $100 of insurance
Why would I pay extra for the Additional shipping insurance?
The shipping carriers insurance policy that covers your package, only includes up to $100 of coverage of items when damaged/broken through mail transit.
Shopify, UPS, USPS, and most companies that insure items, exclude products involving crystals, stones, and glass products and classify them as non covered items. This is why we offer additional insurance coverage, as your products may not have any coverage and you would not have the ease of mind if your package is received damaged/broken. Please reference their polices below.

I bought the Additional insurance coverage, now what?
You have the ease of mind knowing that if the shipping carrier will not cover your package of the amount up to $100 in the event of anything happening to your package in transit, that you are covered in the dollar amount you paid for the additional insurance amount.

My package is damaged and I purchased additional insurance coverage, what do I have to do?
if your package came damage and you purchased additional insurance, you must still follow the same steps above and file a claim through the shipping carrier you chose for shipment ( USPS or UPS).
if your claim gets approved, you will receive your coverage up to $100 plus the amount of purchased additional insurance you decided on at the time of check out. if you get denied for your claim, you will only receive the purchased amount of additional insurance.
Why would my claim be unapproved?
There are exclusions and requirements in the claim process. Please see company information below.
Claims are individually investigated through carrier, business, and customer evidence. After delivery of package, the customer is required to submit a claim request within 24 hours of delivery from carrier (USPS, UPS, etc). The customer will submit evidence based on their behalf for proof to the business. This can include photographs of the package, photographs of damaged/broken items, and/or videos. Customer will contact the business within timeframe in order to be eligible for insurance coverage. Outside of 24 hour timeframe after delivery, shipping coverage is expired and ineligible for insurance coverage. Items are considered refundable based off coverage plan if deemed unrepairable or damaged and received by the business in the condition it was delivered.
Claim is approved for refund, what do I do now?
you will wait for your refund check to come into the mail. broken and refunded items are yours to keep, unless insurance companies requests the items. Crystal Reign Boutique does not accept or want your broken items.
Damaged is defined per business regulation.
Crystal Reign Boutique LLC defines damaged items as chips, dents, tips broken off, and full pieces falling off crystals. The customer is required to ship item back in the same condition they received (damaged just like in evidenced photos/video). If item is returned more damaged than received, customer is not approved for refund because customer is responsible to ensure each item is adequately packaged throughly with protection from further damage.
Exclusions include: desert rose, celeste, clusters, and fragile materials that may have small items fall off in transit.
Broken is defined per business regulation.

The item does not need to be returned when it is broken. Refund will be based on items cost to client per invoice receipt and insurance claim policy coverage.
Example, a customer bought a package for $300. A tower was deemed broken and was bought by the customer for $90. The shipping insurance policy covers package up to $250. The refund amount will be $90 because the rest of the package was delivered unbroken.
Example, the customer bought $250 shipping insurance policy and their package was delivered. Everything inside this package is broken. Customer bought all products for $500, customer will receive $250 per insurance coverage.
Example, the customer bought specific shipping insurance policy to cover entire package's worth of $500. Packaged was delivered with broken and damaged items. Damaged items are required to be return to business in same condition received for refund. Broken items will be refunded once deemed unrepairable per each item costs up to $500.
