50" Chilean Cactus Rain Stick Musical Instrument - Extra long! by Africa
Item Description
50" Chilean Cactus Rain Stick Musical Instrument - Extra long! by Africa Our natural rainsticks are handcrafted in Chile and produce a mystical sound like rain trickling. The 50 inch length is XL oversize, and allows for an extended rain fall duration. By slowly rotating the rainstick while holding it at a gengle angle, the rain fall will last much longer. --- After the plentiful Capado cactus plant lives about 6 decades it dies and dries out, and is then harvested, cleaned, and hollowed out by native artisans. The spines are pushed into the hard wood body, or small sticks are inserted, and many very small pebbles are sealed inside. The unique sound produced by turning the stick from end to end is mesmerizing to children and adults alike, and is still used in traditional rain ceremonies throughout South America today. * sturdy construction will stand up to use in the classroom, home, or band over time * much clearer sound than plastic or poorly made imitation rainsticks * twine dyed in bright Chilean color combinations wrapped around one or both ends of rainstick * clear sealant applied for a smoother, more durable and moisture-resistant finish * in some cases the spines may work their way out of the cactus body during shipping. if this is uncomfortable, simply use a butter knife or flat screwdriver to gently press them back into the rainstick. SIZE OPTIONS: available in 10in, 15in, 20in, 30in, 40in, and 50in (see our other marketplace listings for World Percussion USA) * your purchase of this rainstick helps to support the humanitarian work of Africa Heartwood Project in West Africa **** AUTHENTICITY NOTE: World Percussion USA is the only authorized reseller of this Africa Heartwood Project rainstick. All other marketplace sellers on this listing are not honest in matching their product to ours and are in violation of marketplace policies; proceed with caution as THEIR PRODUCT DOES NOT MATCH the description and the quality and non-profit support will not match this listing description.)****
Shipping Details
We know the anticipation associated with ordering a new item you're excited to get. You want it as fast as possible, and when you open the package you want the item you see to be the same item you you believed you were buying. We have successfully shipped thousands of packages containing authentic percussion instruments to our loyal customers around the world.
HANDLING AND DELIVERY TIME
Our policy is to ship within 1 business day of payment (weekends and holidays do not count as shipping days). For domestic shipment the package will arrive within 1 week of shipping from our drum shop. For international shipments the delivery can take up to 30 days.
CARRIERS AND TRACKING
We normally ship using ground services from UPS and USPS, with delivery confirmation or tracking. This includes UPS Ground, and USPS First Class, Priority, and Media Mail. International shipments almost always are shipped using USPS Priority International Mail. Shipping information is automatically uploaded to your Ebay order when the label is created. You can track your package online using the carriers' websites (UPS.com and USPS.com).
Both customer and shipper rely on the third party shipping company to deliver the package on time and in good condition. In some cases they make mistakes, and we request your patience in accepting that both buyer and shipper must work together to resolve the carriers' mistakes when they happen. To help reduce errors we ask that you carefully check the address you provide upon checkout. In most cases we cannot change the shipping address once checkout has been completed.
For international orders we cannot be responsible for undelivered items; once we provide tracking and can show the item has left our drum shop, it is the buyer's responsibility to follow up with their country's shipping system if the item is not delivered. We have no control over final delivery once the item has left the United States.
FREE SHIPPING
Most of our items ship within the lower 48 states at no extra charge for ground service. International customers will pay a flat rate per item shipped, as displayed in the item detail. Shipping costs are recovered on returns of items that were shipped at no cost to the customer.
PACKAGING AND INSERTS
The heavier and larger a package, the more it costs to ship. We prefer to reduce shipping costs as much as possible, so we take advantage of light weight packaging and packing materials. We limit the materials we include with your item, so don't expect a lot of additional promotional material or product manuals to be included with your item.
Payment Options
For Ebay sales we use PayPal as the payment processor. Buyers are not required to have a PayPal account, and can use all major credit and debit cards for purchases from World Percussion USA. PayPal also accepts payment by checking or savings account (requires a free account and verification). In order to expedite delivery after you place your Ebay order, we require all items to be paid for immediately upon purchase.
Warranty & Returns.
We do our best to accurately describe each product, and strive to keep happy customers. In the rare event that the item must be returned, notify us within 14 days of purchase. Our Money Back Guarantee and Warranty applies to items returned within 30 days of shipping delivery.
DAMAGE OR DEFECT
If the return is due to damage or defect upon arrival notify us within 3 days of arrival, and we will replace or refund the item upon proof of damage. Keep all packing materials in case of shipping insurance investigation. All instruments are warrantied against defect for 30 days from delivery, which includes natural skin drum heads.
PERSONAL PREFERENCE
If the return is based on dislike of color, size, or sound, or misunderstanding of item description, you may return the product to our warehouse at your expense, and upon receipt of item in new condition, we will refund the purchase price less the cost of outbound shipping (in the case of free outbound shipping).
NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS
We cannot offer returns on goat and cow skins used as replacement drum heads once they have been soaked in water or installed on a drum. Once a drum has been tuned by applying additional tension the drum head warranty may be voided, based on seller's discretion. Hint: Do not overtune your drum by applying too much tension too quickly!
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
International purchases will not be refunded if tracking information shows the item was delivered within 30 days of shipping. A full refund of purchase price will be given if item is returned at buyer expense, and received in new condition
