Frequently Asked Questions

Maui Hands is committed to protecting your privacy and will not sell your personally identifiable information (PII) to anyone. As with most websites you visit, please note that we may collect PII when you visit our website. We also automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the pages you visited.

Your payment and personal information are safe with Maui Hands. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet.

Yes, we can ship that! Small and medium sized items typically ship via U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Priority Mail/Flat Rate. Once your package is dropped off at our local post office, you will receive tracking information from USPS to the email provided.

Large and irregularly sized items ship via United Parcel Service (UPS), and we encourage you to use a business address if available so your delivery requires a signature. These items typically take longer to ship and may require special packing or crating, so please discuss cost and delivery estimates with the gallery where you make your purchase.

We are proud to reuse packing materials from just about anywhere. All of us at Maui Hands mālama ‘āina — care for the land — by reusing every little bit of clean cardboard, bubble wrap, and paper we can get our hands on. From employee donations to community collaborations, this tiny-but-mighty reuse of these types of materials has been our policy from the first day we opened our doors in 1992. The new items we do order, namely shopping bags and small boxes, are all made of recycled materials.

While we wouldn’t trade our location for the world, being on an island in the middle of the Pacific has unique challenges — and at times we do experience communication issues. If your order is complete and you have not yet received notification that it has shipped within 5 business days, please contact the gallery where you made your purchase:
