Terms of Use

Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, we’re working closely with our alternate shipping partners to ensure your order is delivered as quickly and smoothly as possible. We’re actively monitoring the situation and will share all important updates here.  

 

Please note: 

  • We are currently unable to ship to PO boxes.
  • Some rural addresses may be impacted – if possible, please provide a non-PO box or alternate address at checkout to avoid delays. 

 

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

 

We offer free shipping on all Canada and US orders over $100.

 

We pride ourselves on the quick handling of your order and aim to process and ship in-stock items within 1-3 business days of the order date (Monday to Friday during standard business hours). During high-volume periods - such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Black Friday, and other sale periods - processing may take an additional 3-5 business days. Please consider these timelines when selecting your shipping option at checkout.

 

For engravable pieces, please allow 1-7 business days for processing.

 

For Made-to-Order pieces, please note the production timeframe of 6-8 weeks. This timeframe begins from your order date and is not inclusive of shipping timelines.

 

Once your order has been placed, we are unable to cancel or modify it. However, we will always do our best to combine multiple orders when possible.

 

All orders ship from our Vancouver, BC, Canada warehouse. Melanie Auld Jewelry is not responsible for any duty, taxes or fees imposed by your importing country.

 

 

Domestic Shipping:

All Canadian orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days. During high-volume periods - such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Black Friday, and other sale periods - processing may take an additional 3-5 business days.

 

We do our best to ensure your order is processed promptly and delivered on time; however, delivery timelines are estimates and not guaranteed. Shipping times begin once your order leaves our warehouse and is picked up by the carrier.

 

Delays may occur due to rural delivery locations, weather conditions, carrier issues or service interruptions, high shipping volumes, or events beyond our control.

 

  • Standard parcels ship with an estimated 2-10 days for delivery.
  • Express orders parcels ship with an estimated 1-5 business days for delivery.
  • Orders over $800 CAD require a signature upon delivery. Please ensure someone is available at the delivery address to receive and sign for the parcel.

International Shipping: To the USA

All US orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days. During high-volume periods - such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Black Friday, and other sale periods - processing may take an additional 3-5 business days.

 

We do our best to ensure your order is processed promptly and delivered on time; however, delivery timelines are estimates and not guaranteed. Shipping times begin once your order leaves our warehouse and is picked up by the carrier. These timelines do not include time in customs or additional delays due to rural delivery locations. Delays may also occur due to weather conditions, service interruptions, high shipping volumes, or other unforeseen events.

 

We are actively working to minimize the impact of tariffs and customs delays, but due to the evolving import environment, border delays and carrier processing times are beyond our control.

 

Please note that international packages may be subject to duties, taxes and fees. Melanie Auld Jewelry is not responsible for any duties, taxes or fees imposed by your importing country.

    Preorder Shipments

    Payment is charged immediately at checkout, not when the item ships.

     

    All pre-orders will have an estimated ship date listed. Please note that this ship date is not guaranteed.

     

    If you order a pre-order item with an in-stock item, both items will ship together when the pre-order item becomes available. If you would like your items to ship separately, please email hello@melanieauld.com for further information or please place two separate orders.

     

    Lost Shipments

    If you received a delivery notification but it appears your package has not been delivered, don't worry! Often carriers will pre-emptively scan a package as delivered, but it is still en-route. Please wait up to 72 hours and then follow these steps if you have still not received your order.

     

    Check with neighbours (or those with neighbouring mailboxes), your concierge, or community mailbox. This is most often where your package will be.

     

    If you are still unable to locate your package, please email hello@melanieauld.com and our team will file a claim with the shipping carrier. Please note that a resolution can take up to 14 business days.

     

    We are not responsible for lost parcels in the event that an incorrect shipping address was entered.

     

    Please note that delivery dates are not guaranteed in the event of service interruptions or failures caused by events beyond the control of melanieauld.com. Such as, but not limited to, interruptions of our transportation systems or the services provided by our carriers, your bank or credit card.
