Please be aware we can't control when postal companies go on strike and affect customer's delivery times, so in the event of these situations we ask for your patience. Once our orders are posted, their arrival is out of our control so please understand this, but we will do all we can to assist you with any queries. If you're order is URGENT and you need it quickly please select our EXPRESS or NEXT DAY delivery service which are the fastest and most efficient ways to receive your purchase.
Please be aware that all of our orders are delivered by either Royal Mail or a Courier Service and therefore require a signature. If your item is delivered and you're unable to take receipt of your parcel because you're not home, this is not our fault and refunds will not be issued on this basis. We may also charge a postage cost to return an item to you which is not collected at the post office and returned to us. Items sent back to the depot usually MUST be collected within a week but please contact your post office for more details.
All orders are shipped to the delivery address listed at the time of purchase. This cannot be changed unless we are notified via email within a few hours from the time of the initial order. In certain cases and at our discretion, we will be unable to change the delivery address other than the delivery address detailed on the customer order at the time of purchase, this is due to the limitations of insurance set by some Credit/debit card companies as well as paypal.
Bespoke jewellery, as well as limited edition handmade jewellery, will take around 7-14 working days to reach customers as these items are made to order. We'll keep you updated throughout the design process and aim to get your bespoke purchases delivered to you within this time frame. Due to the time and cost of materials involved, we do not offer refunds on bespoke or limited edition jewellery items as they are made to order. Any faulted items are repaired free of charge within a 12 month period. We will also cover the cost of postage for any faulted handmade items.
At certain times of the year, particularly Christmas and other seasonal times, we may remove any free delivery options and only offer an express or next day shipping to ensure all of our orders arrive quickly and efficiently through Royal Mail Special Delivery. This will ensure that we can send all items out using one of the fastest and safest delivery methods available from Royal Mail - Special Delivery or alternatively we will use a courier service. We will only normally apply these delivery charges during the last few weeks of Christmas trading. During certain periods including summer holidays, when we operate on a skeleton staff, we may remove our express and next day delivery options so that only our 4 to 6 day standard delivery is available.
Our standard delivery, express and next day delivery service include handling, and packaging, as well as postage costs.
