I BROKE MY JEWELLERY, WHAT CAN I DO?
Drop us an email or a message via our online chat, we are happy to repair items where possible to get them looking like new!
I THINK MY PACKAGE MAY BE LOST.
Items cannot be replaced before they are classified as lost items by the Royal Mail services. That is 20 working days for UK and 30 working days for international deliveries after the dispatch date. Please contact us if you have not received your item in the advised shipping times and we will get in touch with the delivery service to look into this.
On international deliveries, your parcel is usually handled by more than one courier service. Hence when parcels are sent abroad, the actual delivery of your parcel will be their responsibility. Often delays of up to 10 days are caused by customs checks.
Parcels that are tracked as being delivered but not received by the customer (This may happen if you have provided us with your work address, where a colleague within your company or someone else has signed for). In these cases you will need to obtain a proof of delivery certificate from the Royal Mail by filling their signature request form. Please note that ALONA does not refund nor replace items that are tracked as being delivered. For such reasons we recommend that you provide us with your home address for all deliveries.
DO YOU OFFER GIFT WRAPPING?
All of our jewellery comes wrapped in a BY ALONA logo pouch and logo gift box. If you would like us to not include the price or invoice in your parcel, please include a note with your order.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY ITEMS?
We recommend keeping your BY ALONA jewellery in the dust bag provided to best prevent tarnishing and lengthen its lifetime. We recommend removing jewellery when in contact with water, perfumes and harsh chemicals to keep it in its best condition. For more information on looking after your products, please click here.
