Returning Goods

​

If you wish to return goods you have a duty to keep them in your possession and to take reasonable care of them until you return them.

​

How to return an item

​

There are two easy ways to return goods you have purchased. You can either return items to the store or return those items by post.

​

Return in store - what you need to do:

​

Place the items in their original presentation boxes. Take the items and dispatch note you received with your order to the store. Please note that for health and hygiene reasons earrings / pierced jewellery cannot be returned.

​

If a customer is returning an item to store the item will then be assessed by management. Once the item has been assessed by a member of management an exchange will forwarded or a refund will be processed back on to the credit/debit card used to place the order online. This can take 7/10 working days

 

Return by post – what you need to do:

 

If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase we will endeavour to give you a refund, we do not refund delivery fees on items sent or returned to us unless items are being returned due to a fault.  Please note that for health and hygiene reasons earrings / pierced jewellery cannot be returned.

​

If you are returning a faulty item, Stephen Alan’s Jewellers will refund the full postage amount shown on the parcel, back on to the credit/debit card that you used to place the order online.

​

What you need to do:

​

Place the items into their original presentation boxes and make sure the parcel is sealed securely in a tamper proof envelope. You should also place a copy of the dispatch note you received with your order into the parcel.

​

Should you require insurance, we recommend Royal Mail Special Delivery. 1st Class & Recorded delivery does not cover jewellery if the parcel is lost or damaged.

​

We are not responsible for loss or damage of items when being returned.

​

For refunds: once we have assessed the items, the money will be put back on to the credit/debit card that was used to place the order online.

This returns policy does not affect your statutory rights.
