PRODUCTION TIME VS. SHIPPING TIME
GoldHearted jewelry includes both ready-to-ship and made-to-order work.
The time required to produce or prepare an order is separate from the time required for a shipping carrier to transport the package.
An estimated production period does not mean that the package will arrive within that same number of days.
ESTIMATED ORDER TIMELINES
In-Stock GoldHearted Jewelry
In-stock items generally require approximately:
1–3 business days for processing, followed by approximately 2–7 business days of carrier transit.
Preorder or Made-to-Order Collection Jewelry
When existing stock sells out, certain standard GoldHearted collection pieces may be offered on a preorder or made-to-order basis.
These pieces generally require approximately:
7–10 business days for production, followed by approximately 2–7 business days of carrier transit.
Customers should generally allow approximately 2–3 weeks for these orders.
NameChain Orders
After the design is approved and all required production payment has been received, NameChain orders generally require approximately:
5–7 business days for production, followed by approximately 2–7 business days of carrier transit.
Customers should generally allow approximately 2 weeks after final approval/payment.
Fully Custom Jewelry
Fully custom jewelry generally requires approximately:
Up to 10 business days for design/CAD work
plus approximately:
5–7 business days for production
followed by approximately:
2–7 business days of carrier transit.
Customers should generally allow approximately 4 weeks for a fully custom project.
These are estimates, not guaranteed completion or delivery dates.
CUSTOMER APPROVAL DELAYS
Custom and personalized-project timelines may pause while GoldHearted waits for the customer to provide:
Customer delays may move the estimated completion or delivery date.
REQUESTED EVENT DATES
Customers may tell GoldHearted about a birthday, wedding, vacation, performance, holiday, event, or other target date.
A requested date is not guaranteed unless GoldHearted specifically confirms that deadline in writing.
A date selected in a custom-order or NameChain form is a requested target only.
Please do not assume that an event deadline has been accepted unless GoldHearted expressly confirms it.
SHIPPING CARRIERS
GoldHearted expects to use FedEx as a primary carrier initially, but may use FedEx, UPS, USPS, another reputable carrier, or a specialized high-value jewelry shipping service depending on:
The carrier used for a particular order may therefore vary.
TRACKING AND INSURANCE
Shipped jewelry will be sent with tracking.
GoldHearted intends to insure shipped orders for their appropriate shipment value through available carrier, Shopify, third-party insurance, or specialized high-value coverage as appropriate.
High-value shipments may require additional security procedures.
SIGNATURE AND HIGH-VALUE DELIVERY
GoldHearted may apply the following general shipping safeguards:
Orders under $500:
Tracked and insured shipping.
Orders from $500 through $1,499:
Tracked and insured shipping with Direct Signature Required or a comparable secure-delivery service.
Orders of $1,500 or more:
Tracked and insured shipping with Direct Signature Required, secure pickup, FedEx Hold at Location, identity verification, or another high-value delivery method selected by GoldHearted.
Orders above $5,000:
Shipping arrangements may be individually reviewed and may use a specialized high-value jewelry shipping or insurance service.
GoldHearted may use stricter delivery protection on any order where fraud risk, location, value, insurance requirements, or other circumstances justify additional security.
ID OR SECURE PICKUP
Certain high-value orders may be directed to a secure carrier pickup location.
Where the carrier requires identification, the recipient must provide identification meeting that carrier's requirements.
A customer who cannot satisfy a carrier's identification requirements should contact GoldHearted before placing or finalizing a high-value order.
SHIPPING ADDRESS
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.
Depending on the carrier or order value, GoldHearted may require a physical street address rather than a P.O. Box.
If you notice an address error, contact GoldHearted immediately.
GoldHearted will attempt to correct an address before shipment when reasonably possible, but changes cannot be guaranteed once a label has been created or the package has entered a carrier's network.
INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE ADDRESS
GoldHearted is not responsible for delays caused by an incorrect, incomplete, or outdated address provided by the customer.
If a shipment is returned to GoldHearted because of an incorrect or incomplete customer-provided address, the customer may be responsible for additional shipping charges before the order is resent.
CARRIER DELAYS
Once a package has been accepted by the carrier, weather, service interruptions, security events, peak-season volume, transportation disruptions, or other carrier conditions can affect delivery.
GoldHearted will make reasonable efforts to assist with carrier issues but cannot guarantee a carrier's delivery date unless GoldHearted has separately accepted a guaranteed deadline in writing.
PACKAGE MARKED DELIVERED BUT NOT RECEIVED
If tracking shows a package as delivered but you cannot locate it, contact GoldHearted promptly.
GoldHearted may ask the customer to:
-
verify the shipping address,
-
check the delivery area,
-
check with household members or building staff,
-
contact the carrier,
-
provide documentation,
-
or cooperate with a carrier or insurance investigation.
GoldHearted will assist with legitimate missing-shipment investigations.
A replacement or refund is not automatically issued solely because a customer reports a package missing after a carrier has marked it delivered. The appropriate resolution may depend on the results of the carrier and/or insurance investigation and applicable law.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
If a shipment arrives damaged, contact GoldHearted as soon as reasonably possible, preferably within 48 hours of delivery.
Please retain:
-
the jewelry,
-
packaging,
-
shipping box or mailer,
-
labels,
-
and packing materials.
GoldHearted or its insurer/carrier may require photographs or inspection before a claim can be completed.
SHIPPING COSTS
Any shipping charge owed by the customer will be shown during checkout or otherwise communicated before payment.
Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable on ordinary returns.
This does not apply where GoldHearted agrees otherwise because of a GoldHearted error, covered defect, approved warranty issue, or applicable law.
DELIVERY ACCEPTANCE
For packages requiring a signature or secure pickup, failure to sign for or retrieve a package may result in the package being returned to GoldHearted.
If an otherwise valid order is returned because the customer failed to accept or retrieve delivery, additional shipping charges may apply before reshipment.
GoldHearted Jewelry LLC reserves the right to update this policy prospectively as shipping carriers, insurance programs, fulfillment procedures, or service areas change.
