Herein you will find the policies pertaining to purchases from the NACM Spirit Shop. #
A just balance and scales are the LORD’s; all the weights in the bag are his work. (Pro 16:11)
NOTICE: This is one of the most important notices of which you should be aware.
Payment Methods
We only accept payment in the form of Debit or Credit Cards. We no longer accept checks, or money orders. The year is 2024, it is time to use secure and updated payment methods. We never accept cash. Under no circumstances should a member send us a check, money order, or cash!
Early Cancellations
If for any reason you wish to cancel an order “before” it is shipped, we will honor your request by:
Notifying the Spirit Shop (click here to notify)
Upon your receiving a reply from us indicating that your message was received (check your spam).
Occasionally, one of the below scenarios occur:
A member wants a refund, but instead of informing us and giving 72 hours to reply, you contact your financial institution and “claim” that your purchase was fraudulent, or not approved by you. This will result in costing us fines which were not warranted. Rest assured, this approach will result in the termination of your membership with us.
A member wants a refund, but wait until after your package is delivered, then you contact your financial institution and “claim” that your purchase was fraudulent, or not approved by you. This will result in costing us fines which were not warranted. Rest assured, this approach will result in the termination of your membership with us.
A member’s spouse follows up with your monthly financial records and takes it upon themselves to report it fraudulent without mention it to the spouse who made the purchase.
In any of such cases, it costs us the supplies, labor, shipping, and an additional bank fee of about $20 per case. If you report a dispute without following all the necessary channels to let us know about it, we reserve the right to suspend or dismiss your membership and ministerial status, with or without your being informed. Your credentials will be canceled, null and void, and should we be contacted to verify your ministerial status, we will communicate that you hold a “suspended” or “dismissed” status with us. The reason for this policy is that to report a purchase against us as fraudulent is actually fraud on the part of the member.
Why?
We collect data about every item a member views in the Spirit Shop, accompanied by the date, time, and browser.
Additionally, we record the IP address of where the order was placed geographically, leading us back to the same State in which the member resides.
Credential orders often require a member to spell their name for the documents, list an address to be printed as a place of their residence, and in many cases has a personal picture uploaded for print on the credential.
The likelihood of someone stealing your credit card,
Then placing an order with us with all of your info and a picture matching your profile on nacministers.org is improbable in the very least and arguably impossible.
The last thing we want is to support a member who claims fraud to avoid the responsibilities of their financial commitments. If they do it to us, they may treat other people in their ministry is even more concerning.
A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but a just weight is his delight. (Pro 11:1)
Refunds
Our refund and returns policy lasts 30 days after successful USPS Tracking delivery. If upon said 30 days have passed since your confirmed (USPS Tracking delivery), we reserve the right to offer you a full refund or exchange, or not at all.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same conditions in which you received them.
Non-returnable items:
Gift cards
Downloadable Items
Personalized items with minister’s name on it.
Credentials will not be refunded once they have been shipped unless:
1) the credentials are returned to us with shipment tracking; or
2) if there is an error in printing, spelling of names, dates, etc. or on our part. In such cases, we will offer a replacement at no charge to you.
We print custom documents with the info that you input at the time of order. We do not directly type it in. The details of the names and emails are checked to assure you are qualified to make the order. The details are not checked for spelling errors in your name and or address. It is your responsibility to know how to spell, capitalize the first letter of your First and Last name, and input a correct address at the time of order. It is not our responsibility to know how to correctly spell your name, etc. In such cases, you must know your info and submit it correctly. If you impute it incorrectly, and we ship it that way, no refund will be offered.
In cases where a letter of good standing has the wrong address, the member will also have to purchase it again because the document must be reprinted.
Shipping
All shipments from the Spirit Shop are sent with tracking from USPS! Shipping and handling will not be refunded unless the mistake was made on our part. If the member inputs the wrong address, or does not pick up their mail, or their mail is stolen, etc. the member must pay for new shipping costs.
We make every effort to ship documents in a “foolproof” manner to keep them safe in the mail. In other words, depending on the size of your order, we will ship orders in one of two ways:
1) In strong bend resistant thick cardboard mailer; or
2) In a durable cardboard box.
Should the USPS damage your shipment, such is out of our control and is a loss to us as it is to you. However, in most cases we will replace your documents as long as they are reported to us within 1 week of delivery, verified by the tracking number.
Returns
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. In cases where the receipt is not available, a bank or credit card statement proving that payment was successfully made, collected by us, and is not the subject of any disputes with the credit or banking institution.
There are certain situations where only partial refunds at granted at our discretion:
Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error.
Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery
