Our Shipping Policy:

 

How Much: There are flat rate options for domestic shipping within the United States.  First there is a standard first class shipping option (dependent on package size and weight) which is a flat $5.95  and for larger and heavier items there are other shipping rates that can go up to $22.95 depending on location which will be shipped either UPS Ground or USPS Priority mail both with insurance.  The shipping rate will be shown in your cart while shopping.  International rates vary by location.

Store Pickup:  When submitting orders for store pickup, orders will be ready for pickup within 48-72 business hours.  We will email you once your order is ready for pickup. 

International Orders: All international shipping in a standard first class mail.  All orders shipped overseas and to Canada are subject to the final destination country’s taxes, tariffs and duties. These charges, based on the declared value of international orders, are not included in Gem Lounge's quoted shipping charge and are to be paid by the customer upon delivery. If the customer declines tax and tariff payment and the package is forfeited at customs, the customer will be responsible for the cost of return shipping to the US and, in the instance that Gem Lounge pays for the cost of return shipping out of pocket then such cost incurred by Gem Lounge may be deducted from any refund amount owed to the customer, deducted from the credit card used to make the purchase, or billed directly to the customer.

Other Info: Please note that delivery quotes indicate the amount of time needed for shipping, but do not include the time needed to prepare your order. Most pieces are ready for shipping within 3-5 business days of ordering, but some orders require additional time in production since all of our pieces are handmade for you.

Delays may occur in transit due to weather, customs, etc that are not within our control.
