Throw Beads - Acceptable Defect Rate Policy
Please note that these Throw Bead necklaces are bought and sold as parade throws. They are not toys, and they are not costume jewelry quality. We are proud of the quality of products that we sell, and we are sure that you will be very happy with them. But please understand, as throw beads you may find:
- There may be small imperfections in the metallic or pearl finishes.
- A small percentage of necklace strands may arrive unconnected due to handling
These products are made at the lowest price possible -- they are made to be given/thrown away. In order to keep prices reasonable we must all accept a small defect percentage. Because of the discounts we offer, we ask you to accept up to a 5% defect rate. The vast majority of beads we ship will have a much lower defect rate of less than 3%. Most will have no damage or defects. Damage percentages are often correlated to the size and length of the throw beads in question. Bigger and longer (and therefore heavier) necklaces are the most likely to experience some breakage in transit, and throw beads must travel a long way: from the overseas factories to us, and from us to your door!
