Shipping Policy – Raw Mineral Jewelry

Thank you for choosing Raw Mineral Jewelry. We are committed to ensuring that your shopping experience is as seamless and enjoyable as the beautiful pieces you discover on rawmineraljewelry.com. This Shipping Policy outlines everything you need to know about how we prepare, package, and deliver your orders. We understand that receiving your jewelry safely and in a timely manner is important to you, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Order Processing

Once you place an order on rawmineraljewelry.com, our team begins the preparation process with care and attention to detail. Each piece of jewelry is handmade or hand-selected, which means that we do not simply pull items off a shelf and throw them into a box. Every order undergoes a final quality inspection to ensure that the piece meets our exacting standards before it is packaged for shipment.

Please note that orders are processed during business days. While we strive to process orders as quickly as possible, the nature of our handcrafted products means that some items may require additional preparation time. Custom orders, in particular, involve a consultation and crafting process that extends beyond our standard processing window. We will communicate any expected timelines with you during the ordering process so that you are never left wondering about the status of your purchase.

Packaging and Presentation

At Raw Mineral Jewelry, we believe that the unboxing experience should be as memorable as the jewelry itself. Every order is carefully wrapped in our signature eco-friendly packaging, designed to protect your piece during transit while minimizing environmental impact. We use 100% recycled cardboard boxes and biodegradable padding materials made from cornstarch or recycled paper. Our jewelry pouches are crafted from organic cotton or linen, providing a soft, safe haven for your piece when it is not being worn.

We take great care to ensure that your jewelry arrives in pristine condition. Each item is individually wrapped to prevent scratching or tangling, and we secure all packaging with care to withstand the rigors of transit. For special occasions, we offer premium gift wrapping services upon request, adding an extra layer of elegance to your package.

Shipping Methods and Carriers

We partner with trusted, reputable carriers to deliver your orders safely and efficiently. The specific carrier used for your shipment will depend on your location and the shipping method you select at checkout. We work with both national and international couriers who have proven track records of reliability and care when handling delicate items like jewelry.

All shipments are fully insured to protect your investment. This means that in the unlikely event that your package is lost, damaged, or stolen during transit, we will work with the carrier to resolve the issue and ensure that you receive either a replacement or a full refund. We believe that peace of mind is an essential part of the shopping experience, and our insurance coverage reflects that commitment.

Domestic Shipping

For orders shipping within the country, we offer a range of shipping options to suit your needs and preferences. Whether you are looking for standard delivery or expedited service, you will find choices available at checkout. Our standard service provides reliable delivery within a reasonable timeframe, while expedited options are available for those who need their jewelry sooner.

Please be aware that delivery times are estimates provided by the carrier and are not guaranteed by Raw Mineral Jewelry. Factors such as weather conditions, holidays, and carrier operational issues can occasionally cause delays. We appreciate your understanding and patience in such circumstances.

International Shipping

We are proud to ship our jewelry to customers around the world. Raw Mineral Jewelry welcomes international orders and is committed to making the global shopping experience as smooth as possible. When you place an order from outside the country, you will have access to international shipping options that balance cost and speed.

International customers should be aware that their orders may be subject to customs duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by their country’s government. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient and are not included in the purchase price or shipping fees paid at checkout. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with your country’s customs regulations and fee structures before placing an order. We are required by law to declare the full value of the package on customs forms, and we cannot alter this declaration to reduce potential fees.

Tracking Your Order

Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive a confirmation notification containing a tracking number. This tracking number allows you to monitor your package’s journey from our workshop to your doorstep. We encourage you to use the tracking information provided to stay informed about your delivery status.

In some cases, tracking updates may take a few hours to appear after the carrier receives your package. If you notice that your tracking information has not updated for an extended period, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We will contact the carrier on your behalf to investigate the status of your shipment.

Delivery Confirmation and Signature

For the security of your order, deliveries may require a signature upon receipt, particularly for higher-value items. This ensures that your jewelry is placed directly into your hands or those of an authorized individual at your delivery address. If you are unable to sign for the package, the carrier will typically leave a notice and attempt delivery again on a subsequent business day.

We recommend that you provide a delivery address where someone will be available to receive the package during business hours. While we understand that this is not always possible, it significantly reduces the risk of delayed delivery or lost packages. If you have specific delivery instructions, please include them when placing your order, and we will do our best to communicate them to the carrier.

Missing or Delayed Shipments

While we take every precaution to ensure your order arrives on time, occasional delays or issues can occur. If your tracking information indicates that your package has been delivered but you have not received it, we recommend checking with neighbors, building management, or your local post office. Sometimes packages are left in secure locations or with front desks.

If you have confirmed that your package is genuinely missing, please contact us promptly. We will initiate an investigation with the carrier and work to resolve the situation. In most cases, we are able to claim insurance and arrange for a replacement or refund. However, please understand that carrier investigations can take some time, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process.

Undeliverable Packages

Occasionally, packages are returned to us as undeliverable. This can happen for several reasons, including incorrect shipping addresses, refusal to pay customs fees, or failure to pick up a package from a carrier holding facility. If your package is returned to us, we will contact you to confirm your shipping information and arrange for re-shipment.

Please note that additional shipping fees may apply for re-shipping returned packages. To avoid this, we recommend double-checking your shipping address before finalizing your order and staying attentive to any delivery notifications or customs clearance requirements.

Damaged or Lost in Transit

Although we pack each order with extreme care, the journey from our workshop to your home involves many handling points, and damage can occasionally occur. If your jewelry arrives damaged, please contact us immediately with photographic evidence of the damage and the packaging. We will work with you and the carrier to process an insurance claim and arrange for a replacement or refund.

Similarly, if your package is lost in transit and the tracking information has not updated for an extended period beyond the expected delivery date, please notify us. We will open a lost package investigation with the carrier and, once the claim is resolved, ensure that you are taken care of.

Pre-Order and Backorder Items

From time to time, we offer pre-order or backorder items that are not yet in stock or are being crafted specifically for you. These items have their own distinct processing timelines, which are clearly indicated on the product page. When you order a pre-order item, we will provide an estimated availability date. Please understand that these dates are estimates and can be subject to change due to material availability or production complexities.

If you have ordered a mix of in-stock and pre-order items, we generally hold the entire order until all items are available to ship together. This approach minimizes packaging waste and shipping costs. If you prefer to receive your in-stock items sooner, we recommend placing separate orders.

Address Changes and Corrections

It is essential that you provide an accurate and complete shipping address at checkout. Once an order has been processed and handed over to the carrier, we may not be able to change the delivery address. If you realize that you have entered an incorrect address, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to update your address before the order ships, but we cannot guarantee that changes will be possible once the package is in transit.

We are not responsible for orders delivered to incorrect addresses provided by the customer. If a package is returned to us due to an address error, you will be responsible for any additional shipping costs to resend the package to the correct address.

Holidays and Peak Seasons

During holidays and peak shopping seasons, carriers experience higher-than-normal volumes, which can lead to longer delivery times. We recommend placing your orders well in advance of any special occasions to ensure that your jewelry arrives on time. While we make every effort to process and ship orders promptly during these periods, we cannot control carrier delays that may occur outside of our operations.

We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to plan ahead for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and other significant events. Our team remains dedicated to getting your orders out the door as quickly as possible, even during the busiest times of the year.
