Shipping & Returns

NGY ships your orders in 100% recyclable mailers and boxes that are made with recycled content.

In stock items are shipped within 1-3 business days within receipt of purchase but usually go out within 24 hours unless it is a weekend. Custom orders & Dyed to Order orders will be shipped as soon as they are complete. Please see the Frequently Asked Questions page for more info on shipping times for Dyed to Order orders.

We recommend USPS First Class as the best shipping method for 13 ounces and under and priority mail for those above. All items shipped in the US are shipped with Delivery Confirmation.

The shop has a built in USPS shipping calculator and all orders are processed with live information and fees from USPS directly. Insurance will be added for valuable orders. If there has been an overcharge through the system, we will process you a refund through PayPal. Many times Priority Mail is the same cost or less expensive than Parcel Post through our commercial system, if that is the case we will ship via Priority Mail as it is faster & more reliable - there is not additional charge even if it is insignificantly more and if it is less then we will send you a refund for the difference.

Special Information for Canadian and International Orders

First Class typically takes 5-10 business days but may take as long as 2-4 weeks. Priority Mail is said to take 6-10 days per the USPS. 

Canadian & International customers – please make sure you enter a phone number! If you do not have a phone number on your order it may slow your package down if it gets stuck in customs and they have no way to reach you. 

Any additional taxes/duties/customs and other fees are the responsibility of the customer. We will not fudge the value on customs forms nor will we mark items as a gift unless it truly is one from us to you. The only time we can legally mark a package as a gift is if we are sending it to you free of charge. If you purchase it as a gift for someone else we still have to mark it as merchandise. This is the law and we will abide by it, please don't ask us to do otherwise because we cannot and will not. 

Packages sent to Canada & Internationally are not insured, and are not trackable. Your package can spend anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks in the mail before it arrives. By choosing this method, you agree to assume all risk of loss or damage, and you agree to indemnify and hold NGY harmless from any demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses in connection to the transaction.

If you wish to insure your order, please contact me for a quote or include a request in the note when you checkout.

Contacting us with questions before placing your order helps to ensure that the item you purchase will meet your needs. I check and double check orders before they ship but sometimes things happen. If it comes about I made a mistake in your order or there is a problem with the yarn then I will correct it. Your satisfaction with the yarn is my priority.
