SHIPPING METHOD

We use FedEx for shipments. Identification and a signature from an adult are required on all orders at the time of delivery; therefore please make sure that someone is available to sign for the delivery or arrange for alternative delivery options.

Please note, we do not ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses or hotels. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure estimated delivery lead times, from the date of shipment. Orders are not shipped on weekends or holidays, as they are not considered regular business days. During COVID and peak times (e.g., holiday season), orders may be delayed beyond regular shipping times, for reasons beyond our control.

Once an order has shipped, we will notify you of the FedEx tracking number. Your tracking number can also be found on your FRIDA account, for online purchases.

 

INSURANCE

(Separate from shipping insurance)

Individual pieces of jewellery valued over $8,000* will be accompanied by a complimentary appraisal, facilitated by a reputable certified third-party appraiser. We do not provide insurance through FRIDA; however, once your piece has been appraised, we suggest providing the documentation to your current insurance provider. We highly recommend having your piece appraised and insured, in the case of loss or damage.

 

RETURN POLICY

In order to ensure your complete satisfaction, you or a gift recipient may return jewellery purchased from us, in accordance with the Return Policy set forth below. Please be advised that our Return Policy varies depending on the type of purchase/on a per client basis. 

We do not issue refunds.

Custom, bespoke, made-to-order and personalized/modified (e.g., sized, engraved) pieces cannot be returned. 

Finished pieces (in stock): For most finished pieces, we will grant a credit or exchange of equal value, within 14 days following delivery or in-store purchase, if the piece satisfies the conditions of the Return Policy. A credit may also be applied toward a purchase of greater value, in which case you will be required to pay the balance.

For any returns to be accepted, the piece must be in its original and unused state, with all protective materials in place and tags attached, as well as the original FRIDA box and delivery package, including all accessories, appraisals and documents (if applicable), accompanied by the original sales receipt. We will not accept any returns, if the piece shows signs of wear or has been used or altered from its original condition in any way.

All returns will be subject to strict Quality Control (QC) by in-house specialists, to ensure that the piece satisfies the conditions of the Return Policy. If a piece does not meet QC standards, we will refuse the return and send it back to you or the gift recipient, as applicable. We are not responsible for loss or damage of returned shipments.

 

DEFECTIVE PIECES

We are meticulous in ensuring that each piece complies with our QC criteria, both technical and aesthetic. If, nevertheless, you receive a piece that appears to be defective, you may return it, in accordance with the Return Policy, within 30 days following delivery or in-store purchase. Upon receipt and evaluation, we may classify the returned piece as defective. A damaged piece, as a result of wear and tear, is not considered defective. 

If your piece is declared as defective by in-house specialists, the following solutions will be proposed to the you or the gift recipient, as applicable:

  1. We may repair and resend the piece;

  2. We may send the same piece, subject to availability;

If your FRIDA jewel appears to be the incorrect size, please contact us via email at customercare@frida.ca. The first ring re-sizing (within one size, not including additional stones, if applicable) is covered, under the terms and conditions of our WARRANTY; additional re-sizing will require a service fee. For re-sizing of necklaces, chains, cuffs and bracelets, please contact us; depending on what solutions are provided, additional charges may or may not be applied. For some pieces, re-sizing may be limited due to their unique design.
