  • . We are often asked the following questions. Hopefully this will help you. If you don't find an answer here please e-mail us at bhhinfo@birchhillhappenings.com    and We'll get you an answer as quickly as we can. Will you make me a blend for "This or That"?
    We no longer do personal blending.  We do however sell small quantities of oils so you can experiment on your own. This is one area of Aromatherapy that can be so fun and rewarding. 
    We will make suggestions of blends and recipes you can make on your own for specific problems.  Because everyone's sense of smell differs, you may not like a blend we have made so to keep from wasting your precious oils in making blends you may not like, we let you blend your own!! 
    Have fun and EXPERIMENT!!

    How quickly will I get my order once I send it to you? 
    It depends on a few things 
      If you send a personal check in the mail - we wait until your check clears and then send out your order. This can take 10 days before we ship it out. So if you send a personal check it may take up to 3 weeks before your order arrives at your doorstep from the time you initially mailed us your check. 
      If you send a Money Order - we ship those out in 2-3 days from us getting it in the mail. It may take up to 2 weeks before your order arrives at your door. 
      If you order over the "Internet" using your Visa or Master Card, Discover/Novus or American Express.  We ship those orders out 2-3 days from the day you placed your order. Your order should arrive at your door within 7-10 days.  (Actually, many customers report their order has arrived within 5 days from the time they placed it over the internet.)

    What do I do?  My Order hasn't arrived yet? 
      It is rare there is a problem, most orders arrive within the 3 days after we have notified you.  The United State Post Office 'Priority Mail' has been most reliable and speedy.  They have delivered several thousand packages for us. 
     If there is a problem it is possible that: 
       1) Your order was over $50.00 -  it may require a signature before it can be delivered.  Please e-mail us and You will be sent an e-mail with a Delivery confirmation number on it.
    Then you will need to visit this website:  http://www.framed.usps.com/cttgate/welcome.htm
    and enter the delivery confirmation number in the "Track/Confirm" area  to check the status of your order . 
    If you cannot be at  the address you gave us to sign for the package, you will need to contact your mail carrier or Post office. 
       2) It may still be sitting at the Post Office. Contact them if you have checked the status of your order and it says it has arrived at your Post office. It maybe sitting in their back room!!   (This has happened a couple times - especially during the Holiday rush and also around April 15 - tax filing day)
      It is pretty rare for your order to be lost. 
    If you can't locate the package from your end - please e-mail us, we will gladly help you track it down.

    Why don't you offer more Shipping options?
    We have found, for us as a Small business, we can save the customer a lot on shipping/handling and insurance costs by shipping out by the United States Postal Services Priority Mail (your regular mail man will deliver your package). 
    Priority mail gets your package to you in 3 business days once we get it to them, which is usually 48 business hours after you have placed your order. 

    UPS - United Parsal Service (the Brown trucks) can take 10 or more days to arrive if shipped  by UPS Ground (which would be the least expensive way but is still more expensive than the Postal service). 
    Also our offices are about 30 miles from the closest shipping service offices for UPS. 
    TOP
    I need my order shipped as quickly as possible, Do you ship overnight?
      We can, but the charges are very high and not very practical when ordering a low cost item.  We ship Priority Mail and you should receive your package 3 days after being notified by e-mail it was shipped.  This is the best deal for your shipping dollars spent.
      Remember,  please allow plenty of time if you need your order as a special occasion gift.  We do out best to deliver on time.  You need to be realistic and know that an order placed on a Monday will not be delivered by Wednesday of that same week but should be delivered by the following Wednesday (about 10 days later).  See the note above about delivery times. 
    TOP
    I'd like to send a gift,  Will you send my order to another address?
    Just ask. We may be able to send it to another address, but we ask that you  contact us first.  If you are sending it as a gift and would like it wrapped and a small card with a special message inside just ask. We will gladly wrap it and attach a card at no addtitional fee.

    I would like to cancel my order, how do I do that?
    If you need to cancel an order PLEASE do so immediately.  Orders can be canceled as long as you contact us "before" the order is shipped.  If you do not want the order you should call us at 1-218-384-9294 or send an e-mail us at bhhinfo@birchhillhappenings.com  immediately, otherwise see the Return- Refund Policy below.

    TOP
    Why don't you ship to other countries?
    Essential oils are strictly regulated outside the USA and Canada and therefore we do not ship into other countries.  If you are from Canada we cannot ship essential oils to you, only our other products. You will need to contact us by phone or e-mail if you are from Canada as our Shopping Cart won't work for Canadian orders. 
    TOP
    Do you sell "Wholesale"? 
     No, we are retailers.  We have very competitive prices for retailers and often times we are lower in price than distributors. 
    Instead of having a "Store" you would walk into, you order over the internet or you call us or mail us your selections. 
    We can sell in larger quantities but if you are looking for wholesale or manufacturers prices we can't help you. 
    We only sell retail.
