Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We regret that you are disappointed with our service and our policies.
Austin, we understand that customers have many options as to where they can make such an important purchase, and we are grateful for every order we receive. We do our very best to provide the best possible experience for our customers, but occasionally, there are circumstances beyond our control that cause delays ~ in this case courier delays. In spite of the fact that we have no influence on FedEx's deliveries, we made sure to immediately contact you with any information we were able to obtain. We work extremely hard to make sure we ship our products out when promised, and as such, we truly share your frustrations when delays occur.
Austin, you elected to return/exchange your ring, and asked that Clean Origin refund you for the interest you were responsible for with Affirm, a third party financing company. Unfortunately, this was a request we were not able to honor, and we were swift and honest with our response.
Our one time return policy is in place because our rings are made to order and hand finished. A great deal of resources are used to make these pieces and it is important for us to be conscious of unnecessary waste. Unlimited returns would not only be contrary to our corporate philosophy, it would also prevent us from offering the very competitive pricing we have in place for our customers.
Austin, while our policy is available on our site, we never assume a customer is fully aware of the details, therefore, we reached out to you, to confirm that you had a full understanding regarding the final sale, and we provided you with the opportunity to take a refund, rather than an exchange. We know that our policy may not be embraced by all customers, and we don't want anyone left with an item that they do not truly love.
