We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand why the timing of the shipment was frustrating, particularly given the change in your circumstances.
We’d like to provide some additional context around our production and shipping timelines. Our jewelry is made to order and hand finished, so the shipping dates provided at the time of purchase are estimates rather than guaranteed dates. Production times can vary depending on the circumstances of each order. If a piece is completed and ready sooner than anticipated, it may ship earlier than the estimated date; in other cases, production may take longer and an order may ship later than estimated.
When we receive a cancellation request, we first need to confirm with our production and fulfillment teams whether the order has already shipped or is already packaged and in the queue for shipment. Because that confirmation requires coordination with our teams, it is not always immediate.
In this case, your cancellation request was received late on the 8th. By that time, the order had already been packaged and was in the queue for shipment. It was subsequently picked up by FedEx on the 9th, which meant we were no longer able to cancel the order and issue a refund while it was in transit.
We understand that the timing may have given the impression that the order was intentionally shipped after you requested cancellation. That was not the case; the order was already in the fulfillment process when the cancellation request was received.
Our customer service team also advised you on the 10th that we offer a 60-day return policy. You are still welcome to return the item for a full refund, and we’ll be happy to assist you with that process. Please reach out to our Customer Service team, and we can provide the necessary return instructions.
We hope this additional context helps clarify how our made-to-order process and estimated shipping dates work, as well as what occurred with your order. Most importantly, we remain happy to assist you with the return and refund process.
