Dispatch Confirmation
When an order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail.
Postage and Postage Delays
When your order is marked as “shipped” you will receive an email confirming the dispatch. In most cases 2nd class signed post arrives within five working days, Tracked 24 within one working day, Special Delivery also within one working day, Every within five working days and Parcelforce within two working days, however this is not a guarantee and there can be delays which are beyond our control once Royal Mail has your package. (Including the recent delays caused by the pandemic and strike action.) You can visit http://www.royalmail.com/service-updates to check if there are any postal delays in your area, you will have to select your region from the right hand side of the Royal Mail website. If your order has not arrived within 2 working days of the date it was dispatched, first please check that Royal Mail have not left an attempted delivery card if you were out. Once you have waited for the total of 15 working days and have still not received your order, please email us at info@gemzbyemz.co.uk stating your full name and order ID and we will then look into this for you.
Stock Availability
We aim to keep all the goods on our website in stock but we can only carry limited stocks of certain items.
We aim to remove out of stock items from the website immediately but, in the event of an ordered item being out of stock, despite our best efforts, we will contact you as soon as possible to arrange a replacement or to advise how long it will take us to obtain another identical or similar item.
Errors and Omissions
Whilst we take every care to ensure the correctness of any measurements, descriptions and specifications of the goods on our site, we do not give any warranty as to their accuracy or completeness and will not be held responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results arising from any such errors or omissions.
Although the colour reproduction in the photographs of our products is as close as it possibly can be, we cannot accept responsibility for any variation in colour caused by the browser, software or computer system used by our customers.
All measurements and sizes quoted on the site are approximate.
We reserve the right to alter or amend prices if it is found that they are inaccurate at time of order. We will notify you as soon as possible of any change should this become necessary.
Payment
Goods will not be dispatched until we have received full payment for the items and postage.
Personalised Items
We will try our best to accommodate your requirements, but in some cases it may be necessary for us to change the layout due to size or technical constraints. Should this arise we will notify you as soon as possible before proceeding.
Personalised items can only be returned if they are faulty, or if we have made an error from the proof that you approve. Please check your wording, spelling, and image details carefully on the proof we send to you for approval, as any errors or changes to the approved proof will incur additional costs to rectify.
We cannot be held responsible for the quality of photo you choose to upload. We advise you to use a high quality and high resolution photo but if you are unsure then please email us before ordering: info@gemzbyemz.co.uk
Cancellation
We reserve the right to cancel any order if we deem it necessary. In this case we will refund any monies paid to us. Please note that it is essential for you to provide us with a full delivery address, including postcode. Any delays or lost items caused by customers providing incorrect or incomplete address details are their own responsibility – any replacement items arising from this will be charged to the customer at the current full cost plus postage.
You must also provide us with your required image for personalisation either by uploading it to the product page upon order, or emailing it across to info@gemzbyemz.co.uk after ordering. Any delays caused by customers not providing a photo are the customer's responsibility.
We cannot be held responsible for postal delays that affect the delivery of your order. Please note that the Royal Mail do not consider an item as lost until 10 working days have elapsed from the due date of delivery, so requests for replacement of lost/delayed items before this time will be chargeable at our current prices. Once this time period has elapsed, we will replace or refund the order and instigate a claim with Royal Mail.
All claims for lost/delayed items should be notified to us within 10 working days from the date of posting quoted on the dispatch email that we send to you. If items are notified to us as missing after this time, we will investigate on you behalf, but replacement will be at our discretion.
Deliveries can also be affected by various factors including industrial action, adverse weather etc. We will always obtain a Certificate of Posting to facilitate claiming for any lost items.
