Shipping Policy for The Bluwood Store

Thank you for choosing The Bluwood Store. We are committed to delivering your jewelry safely and securely. Please review our shipping policy below to understand our procedures and how we protect your precious purchases.

1. Order Processing Time

• Standard Orders: All orders are processed within 2–3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays).
• Custom/Made-to-Order Pieces: Please allow 7–14 business days for production before your item is ready to ship.
• Order Cut-off: Orders placed after 2:00 PM EST will begin processing the following business day.
• You will receive a notification email once your order has shipped.

2. Shipping Methods & Delivery Estimates

We ship all packages via reputable carriers (USPS, UPS, or FedEx) to ensure reliable delivery. Shipping charges for your order will be calculated and displayed at checkout.

Delivery delays can occasionally occur due to high volume or carrier issues.

3. Shipping Security & Discrete Packaging

To ensure your jewelry arrives safely and to prevent theft, we employ strict packaging standards:

• Double-Box System: Your jewelry is placed in a signature Bluwood Store box, which is then secured inside a durable, neutral outer shipping box with ample padding.
• Discrete Labeling: For your security, our outer packaging does NOT mention "Jewelry," "Diamonds," or "Bluwood Store." The return address will reflect a neutral sender name.
• Tamper-Evident Seals: We use reinforced security tape to ensure any attempt to open the package during transit is immediately visible.

4. Insurance & Signature Requirements

Because we value your investment, every shipment from The Bluwood Store is fully insured for its replacement value until the moment it is delivered to you.

• Mandatory Signature: For your protection, all orders over $[Insert Amount, e.g., $200] require an Adult Signature (21+) upon delivery.
• No Signature Waivers: We strongly advise against having a "Signature Waiver" or "Leave at Door" authorization on file with carriers, as this may void your insurance coverage.
• Secure Delivery: If you will not be home to sign for your package, we recommend shipping to your workplace or a carrier-authorized "Hold for Pickup" location.

5. International Shipping

The Bluwood Store currently ships to [List Countries, e.g., USA, Canada, UK, Australia].

• Duties and Taxes: Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes (including VAT), which are incurred once a shipment reaches your destination country. The Bluwood Store is not responsible for these charges; they are the responsibility of the customer.

6. How do I check the status of my order?

When your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification from us which will include a tracking number you can use to check its status. Please allow 48 hours for the tracking information to become available.

7. Damages & Issues

If you receive your order and the outer packaging appears heavily damaged or tampered with, please take photos before opening and contact us immediately at [Insert Email Address]. We recommend filming a brief "unboxing" video for high-value items to assist with any potential insurance claims.
