Returns & Refunds
If you are not satisfied with a piece this is how to proceed:
Contact me within 24 hours of receipt of the piece to identify the problem.
Every reasonable effort will be made to rectify the problem.
If no resolution is possible the item must be returned within 3 days of receipt in new and unworn condition and in the original or similar packaging.
Returned items must be shipped prepaid. Insuring the package is recommended as we are not responsible for damage incurred in transit.
You are responsible for return shipping.
When the returned item is received in new and unworn condition,, Your account will be credited less the original shipping charge.
Original, one of a kind items utilizing a customer supplied focal cabochon or other materials are not returnable or refundable. All such transactions are final.
Repairs
While these pieces are created with care and attention to detail and quality, there is always the possibility that a component is defective or a cord not completely sealed.
Within the first 14 days of receiving a piece if there is a problem with a component contact us immediately, either by telephone (1-978-291-6751) or email (gerrie@gerriemaffris.com). If the problem is due to a defective component or seal (to be determined upon inspection) within 14 days of receipt the item will be replaced. Any problem with a piece after 14days will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
