 SHIPPING TIMES

As each piece of Alice Menter jewellery is hand made especially for you upon order we ask that you please be aware of our shipping times.

Once we have received your order we will aim to get your jewellery made and sent out to you as soon as possible, but please note that this could take up to 7 working days.

If you are buying jewellery for a special event and need it by a certain date, please let us know (you can add a note to your order at checkout or contact us) and we will do our best to accommodate a speedy dispatch.

If we envisage that your order will take longer than 7 working days to dispatch or we can't meet a deadline you have specified, we will notify you and give you the option to amend or cancel your order.

We cannot be held responsible for any delivery delays once an order has been dispatched and is in possession of the postal service.

UK SHIPPING

Delivery costs £7.00 per order. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed which is a trackable delivery service that requires a signature upon receipt.


Please note that it can take up to 7 working days from the date you place your order until it is ready to be dispatched (we will need to make your jewellery first - see Shipping Times info above).

EU CUSTOMERS:

Please be aware that any orders placed from the EU will be subject to import taxes. This is due to the UK leaving the EU. Import taxes will vary from country to country, this tax will need to be paid before the item is delivered. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to pay the appropriate tax. It is up to the customer to find out how much import tax they will likely need to pay. 

Orders can also take longer, we estimate between 7-10 days.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Delivery costs £15.00 per order. We use Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed which is a trackable delivery service that requires a signature upon receipt and aims to deliver within 3 -10 days.


Please note that the delivery time is from the date of dispatch, not the date the order is placed (we will need to make your jewellery first - see Shipping Times info above).

Please be aware that the customer is responsible for paying any duty or taxes incurred in the country of destination. Please contact your local tax office with any queries.

GIFT VOUCHER SHIPPING

Delivery costs £2.50 per order. Gift vouchers are sent to UK addresses via Royal Mail Signed For 1st Class (which aims to deliver the next working day) or to overseas addresses via Royal Mail International Standard (which aims to deliver within 3-7 days).

If you need guaranteed next-working-day delivery to the UK, please let us know and we can arrange to send your gift voucher via Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm (please note that this will incur a higher postage charge).

Gift vouchers are sent in a rigid envelope to help prevent damage whilst in transit.

GIFT SERVICE

If you're buying jewellery as a gift and are having it sent directly to the recipient, we are more than happy to include a handwritten personal message.  Just let us know the specifics of what you'd like us to write (you can add a note to your order at checkout or contact us).  All orders come beautifully gift wrapped free of charge (see below).

PACKAGING

Jewellery comes in an Alice Menter jewellery box which is beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a ribbon. All orders are shipped in unbranded, protective packaging.
