Shipping Q&As

Immediate Shipment

Are Any Items Available for Immediate Shipment?

In most cases, loose stones are readily available in stock and can be shipped immediately, at the latest within one business day. Many of the items on sale, including rings, are also available for immediate shipment, unless ring sizing is necessary.

Delivery

What Happens if I am Not Available to Accept Delivery?

If you are unavailable to accept delivery, UPS will make three attempts to deliver the package. If the package cannot be delivered after the third attempt, it will be held at the UPS station for pickup. However, if you prefer to pick up the package in person after the first attempt, you can contact UPS at the number provided on the door tag or call 1-888-742-5877 with your tracking number.

What if My Jewelry is Lost During Shipping?

We take every necessary step to ensure the safe delivery of your order. We fully insure your order during transit, and we require a signature for all packages upon delivery.

Can Your Remove the Company Name to Ensure Discreet Delivery?

To maintain discretion in the delivery of our packages, all orders are sealed in unmarked UPS boxes. The UPS box does not indicate that the package contains Labgrown or any other jewelry, and it does not give any indication as to the contents of the package. Please note that in the case of international and APO shipments, a Customs declaration may be required.

Can You Remove the Signature Requirement for Delivery of the Package?

All items are shipped with a signature required. In order to insure the package, our insurance company and UPS require a signature. If we were to waive the signature requirement, there would be no coverage if the package was lost, damaged, delivered to the wrong address, tampered with by a UPS employee or stolen from your doorstep, etc. For this reason, waiving the signature requirement is not an option.

As an alternative, for U.S. and Canada orders, we can request that UPS hold the package at the nearest UPS Office. To avoid delays or to be able to select the location please make the request prior to shipment. You can make the request in the Special Instructions during checkout, and we will add it to your order. Please note that the owner of the credit card used to make the purchase must pick up the package. UPS will require a government-issued photo ID to release the package.

Can I Pick Up My Order in Person from Your Office?

Because all of our jewelry is made to order, we do not currently have a showroom or a reception area for walk-in customers. Therefore all orders must be shipped via UPS.

Making Changes to Your Shipment

How Can I Reroute the Shipment to a New Address?

Once the UPS package has been picked up from our company, changing the delivery is difficult given UPS's system. If the package is going to a U.S. address and was shipped via UPS Express, it is possible to make the request. UPS charges $15 min. to make the change (which our company will not cover), and in our experience, even with the fee, UPS cannot guarantee that they will be able to successfully update the address before the initial delivery request is made. This is due to the requests being routed initially through their call center, then sent to the various offices, and finally to the UPS driver. Typically it takes at least 24 hours for the station and driver to receive the notice.

Because of the difficulty involved in changing the address once the package is shipped, it is a very good idea to provide us with the best delivery address when the order is placed. A request can also be made to have the package held for pickup at the UPS station if you will not be available once the package has been delivered. This can often be done directly on the UPS website with the tracking number or by calling 1-888-742-5877.

If the current order status is already "Ready to Ship" then it is too late to change the shipping method.

Tracking Your Order

Where do I Track My Order Once it Ships?

When your order has shipped, you will receive an email with the tracking information. It will also appear in your order history on the website.

If the package shipped via UPS, it can be tracked via their website (we have included the link below). Or if it shipped via USPS, it can be tracked via the USPS website.

Will I Receive a Tracking Number Once My Order has Shipped?

Once your order has been processed, packaged, and picked up by UPS, we will email the tracking number to the email address provided. We also will update your order history with the tracking number. Therefore if your email provider filters out our email message as spam you can retrieve the tracking info from your order history.
