Shipping and Deliveries

SALES TAXES
State and local sales tax rates and applications are determined by the destination where the products will be delivered. All applicable taxes will be automatically applied at the checkout and will be charged to the customer within the purchase. Agua Bendita guarantees the customer will not be required to pay any additional taxes on delivery.

These terms displayed are subject to change, as the taxation of online transactions is continually evolving. Agua Bendita strives to comply with state and local tax laws as they exist currently and continues to monitor and update its taxation policies as those laws change.

Orders shipped to Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, Texas, and Virginia, will have all applicable local and state sales taxes added to the total order amount, and to shipping charges when appropriate.

SHIPPING PROTECTION BY ROUTE
Shipping Protection by Route is a package insurance that covers your order if it gets lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, and it is added at checkout for a small percentage of your order value.

The customer can choose not to pay for the Shipping Protection by Route by clicking on "checkout without package protection" instead of "CHECKOUT", or by unchecking the box when it appears at checkout before the "Pay Now" button.

If the customer chooses to decline the Shipping Protection / Package Insurance, Agua Bendita will not be responsible or held liable for packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged in transit.

DELIVERIES
• The customer is the sole responsible for the delivery address. Agua Bendita is not responsible if an order can't be delivered or if it is delivered to the wrong address due to incorrect information provided by the customer.

• The customer can make claims regarding a non-delivered / lost package up to 30 days after the package was shipped, meaning, since the moment the carrier received it. Thereafter, claims will not be accepted and Agua Bendita cannot be held responsible after that period.

• For orders stated as "delivered" by the carrier to the correct delivery address, Agua Bendita will not be held responsible if the carrier provides proof of delivery (photo or signature). If the carrier fails to provide proof of delivery, Agua Bendita will assume it and reach an agreement with the customer on whether to refund or ship the order again.


INCONVENIENCES TO DELIVER THE ORDER

A) If the order cannot be delivered due to the customer's reasons: 

When the shipping information is incomplete, contains an error, or is deemed unreachable, the carriers usually attempt to contact the customer directly. However, if the carrier ends up returning the order to our warehouse, and the customer wishes to have it reshipped, a fee of $10 USD will apply to cover the new shipping costs. If the customer prefers a refund instead, the original shipping fee will not be reimbursed. 


B) If the order is not delivered due to reasons unrelated to the customer 

Within a period of thirty (30) calendar days, the customer can request a cancellation and a full refund (shipping fee included) at customercare@aguabendita.com.co or Whats App at +57 314 627 7470. Once this request has been submitted, Agua Bendita will issue the refund in no longer than 15 days.


All refunds will be issued directly to the credit card used by the customer to place the order. Please keep in mind that, since the refund is executed, it may take up to 30 days for the bank to process the balance on your card.

If the payment method was PayPal or Sezzle, the refund will be issued to the customer's PayPal or Sezzle account, and the balance will be available within 1 business day after the refund is issued.


Please take into account that our customer care team is available at the following times:


• Monday to Thursday: 8 AM to 6 PM (Colombian time) except local holidays.
• Friday: 8 AM to 5 PM (Colombian time) except local holidays.

Your request might take up 1-2 business days to be attended.
