With all the respect in the world to our customers kindly note the following. It is our policy to NEVER promise a client that needs a gift on SHORT notice for a special occasion like a BIRTHDAY to have this done on time. The reason we do this, is very simple to understand, but I will highlight it here for ease of use. There are too many outside factors like for instance load shedding, courier delivery times and availability of staff to make such promises. We will NEVER promise delivery on or by a certain date/time as we have no control over this. We can however give you an estimate on when your parcel will be dispatched and when custom work like engraving would be finished.
Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our side! We have to think of all our clients and cannot bring everyone to a standstill to try and ensure last minute orders will be completed.
However, we will ensure that all orders are sent out in timely fashion as the details thereto pertain in this
For full details of the current status of processing times and possible delivery delays please visit your accounts page.
Please note that custom orders including engraving and cutwork (personalized bracelets and pendants) are not included in this schedule for delivery. Once these orders have been made, according to the respective manufacturing periods, it will be shipped in accordance herewith
ENGRAVING
Engraving can take up to 10 working days to complete depending on the amount of orders “in line”. We usually finish engraving much sooner than this but will rather over deliver on our promises! Kindly take note of the following. If your requested engraving exceeds the allowed space on the item you will be contacted to change the amount, size, content of the engraving to make sure it fits. If you have placed an online order and omitted to include the engraving details in the order notes, you will be contacted at the soonest by Blink Juwele to send us the engraving details. If these is delayed on your part, the schedule for completion of engraving will be calculated from the time we receive the engraving details and not from the date you paced the order
