Fees and Additional Charges
Gratuity: Be sure to check if your item includes gratuity. Some of our items include it, some do not. It is customary to provide gratuity in a spa, ranging from 15 to 20% of the cost of the service. Spa policies can vary so be sure to check with the spa, so that you can reward a good work.
Shipping: Your default shipping address will be used for anything shipped. Should you want it to be shipped to another location, please advise us immediately. All products will most likely have a shipping fee. Some of our spa treatments have a certificate and will have a small fee to be mailed. Such fees will be included in the description of the item.
Sales Tax: The sales tax charged depends upon where the order is shipped. You will be able to view the sales tax included in the order before your credit card is charged.
Items with Lodging: Some packages may include additional fees. For example, if you win something with a hotel night included there could possibly be a resort fee, a parking fee, mini-bar charge or additional tax. You will typically be responsible for food and beverage, and any additional charges for activities that you decide to do. We suggest that prior to bidding, you contact the individual hotel to inquire about such fees. We try to make our descriptions as complete as possible and provide as much information for you as well can.
Buzz Keepers: Bees have been given the recent distinction of being the most invaluable species on the Earth. No surprise--- as bees have the massive responsibility of pollinating nearly 1/3 of all crops, not to mention a vast number of the botanicals and herbs used in spa products – (oh… and chocolate and coffee too)!! Creating the Buzz Keepers is our way of assisting with the conservation of bees and ensuring that they live well too. All bids on the Spa Buzz Auction will support the bees and all users will be considered an honorary Buzz Keeper. Fees will be allocated as follows: $1 for all items under $100. $2 for items $101 to $200, $3 for all items $201 - $300, $4 for all items $301 t0 $400, $5 for all items $401 - $500… and well, you see where we are going! We give the proceeds to the following organizations: American Beekeepers Federation and the American Community Garden Association. Please contact us should you need a tax-deductible receipt.
