Abalone Hearts for Texas Flood Victims

UPDATE 8/10 - In July, your support helped us donate $7,000 to Texas flood relief + rebuilding efforts ❤️ Now that every necklace has shipped, we’re re-listing them so the giving continues - 15% of every Abalone Heart Necklace sale will go directly to Texas flood relief and rebuilding efforts via Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. 

UPDATE 8/7 - All initial donations have been made! And we are so thankful for your support. 

• $5K donation to Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country – Kerr County Flood Relief Fund
• $2K donation to Rebuild Sandy Creek
  
• $1K donation to Austin Community Foundation Love Like Linnie Fund

UPDATE 8/1 - ALL orders have been mailed! Thank you so much for all your love and support for the Texas Hill Country and all of those affected.

UPDATE 7/16 - We are so grateful for all of your orders! We are still waiting on our supplies, so until we get all the existing orders made + mailed, we are going to pause this fundraiser. But you can opt-in to be notified when back in stock as we will re-open at a later time. Orders will be shipped asap, about 30-40 orders have been mailed, but the majority are still waiting for more abalone hearts to arrive. Next shipment should arrive within 7-10 days. Hope to be shipping all within 2-4 weeks. 

Update: Due to initial limited supply & high demand for this fundraiser, we are restocking supplies (again) but shipping will be delayed 2-4 weeks. We appreciate your love and support for this cause and will get these shipped out to you ASAP. 

Originally planned as a festive 4th of July drop, this release now carries a much deeper meaning.

On July 4th, devastating flash floods tore through the Texas Hill Country. Waters on the Guadalupe River rose 20–26 feet in less than 90 minutes. Lives have been lost, many are still missing — including young girls from Camp Mystic and other beloved summer spots — and families are reeling from unimaginable heartbreak.

In response, we’re turning this limited release into a fundraiser.

100% of profits from every Abalone Heart Necklace sold will be donated to support victims of the flooding.

Our hearts are with Camp Mystic and all of the Hill Country communities affected by this tragedy.

Thank you for joining us in giving back. 💙

HOW LONG UNTIL MY ORDER SHIPS?

Due to the handmade nature of our products, all of our orders typically ship within 1 to 5 business days. Once shipped, you’ll receive a tracking URL via email. We really appreciate your patience while we make your custom pieces! If you need your item by a specific date, please contact us before you place your order to make sure we can make the magic happen.

Our annual (& epic!) 12 Days of Christmas SALE has a different production time.  All orders placed during the 12 Days of Christmas will arrive in time for Christmas Day, many times much sooner.  We work non-stop getting the orders made and out as fast as possible. Some will ship within days, some 12 Days orders might take 1-2 weeks to ship.

 

HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE TO GET TO ME?

US Orders: USPS First Class Shipping: 3 to 5 business days

USPS Priority: 2 to 3 business days

International: USPS First Class International: 10 to 14 business days

Transit times do vary depending on the international location. Packages can be delayed if held in customs.

Please consider that you may have to pay your country’s customs taxes for the goods that you receive. Tula Blue is not responsible for paying any customs taxes on international orders. 

Tracking will not always update with international orders. Once it leaves the US and is transferred to a new carrier, we are not able to see tracking details on packages. 

 

 WHAT IF I NEED TO CHANGE SOMETHING?

For cancellations, order or address changes Please reach out to us ASAP at hello@tulabluerope.com with your order number in subject line. We often get started on orders immediately & often times your order is already in production the day it is placed.

 

 WHAT IF MY PACKAGE IS MISSING?

Still haven’t received your order even though your order status says “Delivered”? Try checking with your neighbors first to make sure the package didn’t get delivered to their house instead. Sometimes, mail carriers leave packages at nearby doors by mistake (oops!). 

Occasionally USPS will mark packages as "Delivered" before they've actually left the package at your address. Typically they show up within 24-48 hours after being marked as "Delivered", so hang tight for a day or two!

If you don’t have any luck there and you still haven't received your package after 48 hours of it being marked as "Delivered", we’ll be happy to help resolve the issue. Just contact us at the “Submit a Request” link below, and send us your name, shipping address, the email used to place your order and your order number. We’ll get back to you ASAP with more details on your package status.

Please make sure to always double check your mailing address on your order to ensure you are shipping to the correct address. Once an order is shipped, we are not able to change the shipping address to have it routed to the correct address. If you notice that your order was accidentally shipped to a wrong address, please contact us immediately and we can update it before your order is shipped out.

 

 WHAT IF PART OF MY ORDER IS MISSING OR WRONG?

Please contact us at hello@tulabluerope.com at your earliest convenience and we will make sure you receive your Tula Blue as soon as possible.
