Shipping Policy
Last updated: 21 October 2025
Harmony Jewelers (“Harmony”, “we”, “us”) ships fine jewelry securely, discreetly, and fully insured. This Policy explains options, timelines, verification, and how we handle exceptions.
1) Service Coverage
- Domestic (UAE): All seven emirates.
- Click & Collect: Boutique pickup at Ground Floor, Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi.
- International: Select destinations on request (subject to customs, sanctions, and insurance coverage). Contact us before ordering.
2) Shipping Options & Typical Timelines
A. UAE Deliveries (Free, insured)
- Standard Insured Courier: 1–3 business days after payment and verification.
- Expedited (when available): 1–2 business days (fees may apply).
- Same-Day Abu Dhabi City: On request for in-stock items confirmed before 1:00 pm; subject to availability and fee.
B. International Deliveries
- Insured Express Courier: 3–7+ business days after export clearance. Timelines vary by destination, customs, and peak seasons.
Business days: Sunday–Saturday per mall/courier schedules (public holidays may extend timelines). Delivery estimates begin after payment is captured and any required verification is completed.
3) Order Processing & Cut-Off Times
- Processing window: Orders received before 12:00 pm Gulf Standard Time (GST) are typically processed the same day; later orders process next business day.
- High-value orders: We may perform KYC/anti-fraud verification (see §6). Processing begins once verification is completed.
- Pre-orders / Made-to-order / Resizing: Add 5–20 business days (or as quoted) before dispatch.
4) Click & Collect (Boutique Pickup)
- Choose Boutique Pickup at checkout (free).
- Wait for the “Ready for Collection” notification.
- Bring photo ID and order confirmation. For third-party pickup, provide written authorization plus the collector’s ID.
- We will hold items for 10 calendar days from the ready date; after that, we may return the item to vault storage and re-schedule collection.
5) Packaging, Insurance & Discretion
- All shipments are fully insured until you sign for delivery or collect in boutique.
- We use discreet outer packaging with no jewelry references.
- Certificates (e.g., GIA, SwissLab), invoices, and accessories are packed securely. Please retain outer packaging until you confirm satisfaction.
6) Payment Security & Order Verification
To protect customers and comply with risk controls:
- We may request ID verification and/or proof of address for high-value orders or mismatched billing/shipping details.
- We may contact you via your registered phone/email for a brief verification call.
- Orders we cannot verify may be cancelled and refunded.
7) Address Requirements & Changes
- UAE: Provide a physical address with building name/number, area, and active mobile number for courier contact. (Courier delivery to P.O. Boxes is not available.)
- Changes: We can amend the address before dispatch only. Once shipped, any reroute is subject to courier approval and may incur a fee or delay.
- Delivery windows: Couriers deliver during local business hours. Missed deliveries may be re-attempted or held at a collection point.
8) Tracking & Delivery Confirmation
- You’ll receive a tracking link once the parcel is in transit.
- Adult signature on delivery is required. If no one is available, the courier will reattempt or arrange pickup; storage fees may apply after a set period.
9) International Shipping, Customs & Duties
- We ship internationally to select countries where insurance and lawful transport of precious goods are supported.
- Duties, taxes, brokerage, and customs fees at destination are your responsibility and are non-refundable by Harmony.
- Customs inspections may open parcels; this is outside our control and may extend delivery times.
- We reserve the right to decline export to restricted destinations or sanctioned individuals/entities.
10) Pre-Orders, Backorders & Split Shipments
- Pre-orders / Backorders: We will provide an estimated dispatch date; timelines can change due to stone sourcing or certification.
- Split shipments: We generally ship complete orders together; on request, we can split (additional shipping charges may apply).
11) Loss, Damage, or Tampering
- At delivery: If the parcel looks damaged or tampered, refuse delivery if possible and contact us immediately.
- After acceptance: Keep all packaging and take photos of the outer box (labels), inner packaging, and item; contact us within 24 hours.
- We will open a carrier investigation; refunds or replacements are issued after the claim is resolved with the insurer/courier.
12) Refused or Missed Deliveries
- If you refuse a non-damaged shipment or miss multiple attempts, the parcel may return to Harmony. We can re-ship (additional postage/insurance fees apply) or process a return per our Refund & Return Policy (change-of-mind terms and exclusions apply).
13) Items with Certificates & Documentation
- Third-party certificates (e.g., GIA, SwissLab) are part of the product. For returns/exchanges, they must be sent back undamaged. Lost certificates may incur a lab replacement fee and extend processing times.
14) Force Majeure & Delays Outside Our Control
We are not liable for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to: customs holds, weather, civil unrest, strikes, pandemics, carrier network disruptions, or governmental actions. We’ll take reasonable steps to reduce impact and keep you informed.
15) Restricted & Special Destinations
Certain addresses (e.g., PO Boxes, military zones, free-zones requiring special permits) or countries under sanctions/export restrictions may not be serviceable. Contact us to confirm feasibility before ordering.
16) Title & Risk
- Risk transfers to you upon delivery to your address (signed handover) or upon boutique collection.
- Title to goods passes only after full payment is received and cleared.
