Returns and Exchanges Policy

If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your online purchase and would like to return the item for a refund, please return the item to us within 28 days of receipt of your purchase.

Exempt from any refund are Bespoke commissions, made to order items or jewellery altered to a customer request.

Alex Monroe Ltd. does not accept any responsibility for any items lost, stolen or damaged in transit. These responsibilities are those of the customer.

International Returns

When returning an item from overseas, please still make sure to follow the above steps.

Alex Monroe Ltd. does not accept any responsibility for return postage costs, nor for any items lost, stolen or damaged in transit. These responsibilities are those of the customer. Therefore we strongly recommend using a secure and tracked service to return the goods to Alex Monroe.

Please take care if a customs declaration form is required, to correctly mark the goods as a 'Returned Item'. This will ensure that no additional customs fees are incurred. In the instance that a item is incorrectly marked and a customs fee is incurred, this may be passed onto the customer. This may also delay the returns process.

If you are at all uncertain about how to correctly fill in the customs form, then please speak with the relevant local customs or post department before returning the item. Alternatively you can contact the customer service team at Alex Monroe for further assistance.

Exchanges

Unfortunately we don't exchange products. However you can return an unwanted item to us for a full refund and place a new order for an alternative item.

Please Note

Any return received without a completed Return Form will result in a delay in your refund being processed, and in some circumstances may be returned to the sender.

Returns received outside of the above stated timelines are accepted at the discretion of Alex Monroe Ltd.

Refunds will be issued within 14 days of Alex Monroe Ltd receiving your return.

All refunds of undamaged and unworn products that have been correctly return, will be credited to the customer via the original method of purchase.

Unwanted gifts and goods returned without a receipt may be exchanged for a credit note.

Please refer to our standard refund policy for items that are exempt from refund.

Returning Faulty Goods

In the rare event that goods are delivered faulty or damaged please contact our customer services department here so we can arrange a replacement or a refund. If the package you receive is damaged or open please do not accept the delivery and contact customer services immediately to arrange a replacement. Should this occur, we will cover additional delivery costs and re-arrange delivery of a new replacement item.

Faulty items will only be accepted for return if the goods have been delivered to the customer damaged, or if a manufacturing fault occurs within the 6 months after delivery. All items that are returned as faulty will be assessed by Alex Monroe Ltd, and any item displaying damage that is deemed to be a direct result of fair wear or accidental damage will not be accepted as faulty. We offer a full repairs service for such items. There will be a small charge for this service, to cover the cost of the repair along with any shipping costs incurred.

Gift Returns

We are happy to offer online credit for unwanted gifts, providing the item is unworn, and from our current collection - in line with all other Alex Monroe terms and conditions. In order to process this for you, we will ideally require the original order number as proof of purchase. However, if it is not possible to obtain this, please get in touch with our Customer Care team with the name and / or address of the person that purchased your gift. Once your return is approved, your credit can be used on our website against the purchase of a different item with the same or greater value.

Please note that the above terms still apply to all gift returns.

Warranty

At Alex Monroe, we are here for you and your jewellery for a lifetime.

We do not offer formal warranties, as a strong part of our brand ethos is the importance of repairing rather than replacing. This is to both acknowledge the sentimental value that may be attached to your Alex Monroe jewellery - and to lessen our impact on the environment.

As we make everything ourselves, we will always aim to repair pieces in our workshop wherever possible, and we are always on hand to help with any queries or issues you may have - no matter how long you may have owned your piece.

Online Order Cancellation

If you wish to cancel an order placed online at alexmonroe.com please contact our customer care team here.

Please note that once your order has been dispatched, we are unable to cancel it. Once you have received your order, you have 28 days to return the item to us. In this circumstance, please follow the return instructions here.

The above does not affect your statutory rights.

Gift Vouchers

Gift vouchers and online credit notes cannot be redeemed against the purchase of further gift vouchers and are not valid in Alex Monroe Boutiques. Vouchers for use in our London Boutiques can be purchased in store or via telephone. Gift vouchers are redeemable on items of the same or greater value. All gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Packaging

Your order will be dispatched in an unbranded external envelope.

Jewellery is packaged in an Alex Monroe jewellery box, which is packaged in a protective external box.

All gift vouchers will be sent in a rigid envelope to help prevent damage whilst in transit.

Books will be sent in protective cardboard wrap packaging to help prevent whilst in transit.

Late and Lost Deliveries

If your delivery has been delayed, then please contact us and we will provide you with the tracking number to enable you to locate it with Royal Mail.

We cannot refund or replace lost items until 20 working days after the date of despatch (30 days for international items) - this is when the Royal Mail classes items as being lost.

International delivery - When items are sent to another country, your parcel is often handled by more than one postal service. When we send a parcel abroad, the actual delivery of the item will be the responsibility of the postal service in the country the items are going to. Delays can often be caused by customs checks, which can sometimes take up to 1-2 weeks.

Items not received but tracked as being delivered - This frequently happens when items are delivered to places of work. In some cases, your item might have been delivered to a post room or colleague within your company and someone else will have signed for it. You can check the signature of the person that has signed for the parcel, by entering your tracking number on the Royal Mail website. Please note that we do not refund or replace items that are tracked as being delivered. For this reason, we always recommend that you get items delivered to your home address.

Alex Monroe cannot be held responsible for goods that are lost or delayed in transit.

Prices

Goods are charged at price shown on the product pages on the date the customer places the order and are inclusive of VAT. Errors and omissions are excepted. Orders will be processed at our published prices, otherwise, in the case of any unexpected change in price, you will be informed and asked if you wish to reconsider your order before proceeding. All prices are stated in British Pounds Sterling £GBP. If you are purchasing from outside the UK, currency exchange rates and credit card charges may make a difference to the amount billed on your credit card.

We may from time to time offer promotional discount codes (either directly or via third parties). These codes may only be applied to purchases of full-price items and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discounts.

Feedback and Complaints

We always welcome feedback from our customers as it enables us to improve our service. If we should receive a complaint about any part of our service, by phone, email or letter, then it will be dealt with promptly. Please contact us here.

Jewellery School

By booking any of our Jewellery School Classes, we kindly ask you to read the following information, and agree to our terms and conditions.

What’s Included

Depending on the theme of the class, we will provide a selection of Sterling Silver charms, and the components and findings you need to make them into a piece of finished jewellery.

Your piece can be gold-plated if you wish, but this will be completed by an external supplier, so we will send it on to you when complete.

Attendees of our classes will start the day with tea / coffee and a pastry, and we break for a group lunch, which is also provided.  We also take a short afternoon break for tea and cake, and the day ends with a glass of bubbly as a cheers to all your hard work! A member of our team will be in touch with you to discuss dietary requirements.

Age Requirements

For insurance reasons, we do request that all attendees of the class are aged 18 and over.

Health & Safety

All participants should wear comfortable shoes with covered toes, we also recommend wearing casual clothing, although we do provide aprons for you to wear on the day.

If you are, or have been ill in any way within 48 hours of the course, we would kindly ask you not to attend - but please contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options.

Timing

We recommend arriving at 10.30am to meet the team and your fellow classmates for tea / coffee and a pastry ahead of spending the day together. Your Jewellery School class will then start promptly at 11am, and you will leave around 5pm with a wonderful piece of jewellery, handcrafted by you!

Payment

All payment must be made in full at the time of booking, via our website. We are unable to take provisional bookings, and cannot confirm places until we receive full payment.

Delivery

Upon purchasing a place on one of our Jewellery School classes online, you will receive an order confirmation by email.  We will then send a ticket by post, which is especially useful if you are giving the class as a gift.  A member of our team will then follow up with more specific details via email, at a later date.

Liability

Unfortunately, we are unable to take responsibility for the loss of any personal possessions during the day - but do get in touch if you have lost something, and we will do our best to help!

Social Media

Our team will be taking photographs and footage of the class on the day, which will be shared on our social media channels.  If you do not wish to be photographed, please let one of the team know.

We are more than happy for you to share photographs / video taken during your session on social media.  Please be mindful that this would be best done after the class, so that everyone has full concentration.

Insurance

You may wish to look into insurance that will cover your costs in the event of being unable to attend your class at short notice - such as illness of yourself or an immediate relative, travel disruption etc.  We cannot be held liable for any third-party costs, such as travel bookings or accommodation.

Privacy Policy

As always, we do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.

Refunds & Cancellations:

Our Jewellery School classes are for a maximum of 10 people, and run in addition to our day to day business. Because of the small size of the classes and the preparation required, we do need to make the following stipulations:

  • If you are no longer able to attend your Jewellery School class, we will require a minimum of 10 days notice.  We can then issue you with a full refund or, where possible - transfer your ticket to another date.  Please give us as much notice as you can, as we will need to re-sell your ticket.

  • If you need to cancel less than 10 days before the class, we will still pro-actively seek to refill your place, but if we are unable to do so in the given time, the full price of your ticket will unfortunately be lost. If we successfully resell your ticket, we can issue you with a full refund or, where possible - transfer your ticket to another date.

  • If we do not have any classes scheduled to transfer your place onto, we will issue a full refund.

    In an instance where you are unable to attend at short notice, we would be happy for you to send someone in your place - but please let us know, so that we can send them the relevant information for the class, and check any dietary requirements.

  • We require a minimum of 8 participants per class and reserve the right to cancel or postpone a class due to insufficient numbers.

  • In the rare instance that one of our team became unavailable - and we are unable to replace them, we would again, reserve the right to either postpone or cancel the class.

  • In either of these unlikely events, we would offer a transfer to an alternative class wherever possible, or a full refund - and of course give you as much notice as possible.

  • Please always get in touch with us if you have any issues - we will not be able to issue refunds or transfers on any unattended classes without prior notice.

  • Any refunds made can only be done so to the original source of payment.
