Shipping & Exchange Policies

 

Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted and made to order.  

All personalized jewelry and my other jewelry pieces can take approximately 5-7 days to be made, but if in stock can be completed within 1-2 days of ordering. Please indicate if this is a rush order and I will get your order done as quickly as possible. 

Your jewelry will be packaged in a beautiful black clamshell style jewelry box and/or a micro fibre jewelry pouch with the Orange Avocado Jewelry logo embossed on both with a zip loc baggie to reduce tarnishing.   In efforts to reduce our impact on the environment you do have the option of choosing your preference for the number of boxes and jewelry pouches (0 or more).  It is recommended that you receive your order in at least the pouch to protect it from the shipping process.

If you choose the shipping option I use Canada Post Expedited shipping which provides a tracking number that will be emailed to you at the time of shipping.  Please note the times for custom and personalized jewelry.  Thank you for your understanding.

Canada post takes approximately 1-3 business days for shipping to locations in western Canada and up to 4-5 business days to locations in Eastern Canada.  Shipping times are beyond my control in extenuating circumstances with Canada Post.   My production times for jewelry has not been affected.

Shipping prices to the U.S. are for the “lower 48 states" and with expedited shipping taking up to 7-10 business days. Please contact me for shipping to Alaska and Hawaii.  I use Canada Post for shipping to the USA and internationally.
