SHIPPING + PRODUCTION TIMES

Handmade takes time - each piece of jewelry you order from Christina Kober Designs is made by hand just for you.  Please add the following timelines to your shipping for an estimate of when you'll receive your piece.

 

notes on rush production
We want to make sure you receive your Christmas gift on time!
If you're placing an order on...
  • December 14, 2023 or later without rush production, it will not arrive in time for Christmas.
  • Any order placed after December 19, 2023 will not ship until after Christmas
Rush production ensures that your handmade jewelry will be prioritized and shipped within 1-2 business days. The fee for rush production is $20 per item, and you can select it before adding the item to your cart.
Please be aware that the $20 rush production fee is non-refundable and does not affect shipping times. If you select rush production for only one item in your order, that item will be made and shipped separately, while the rest of your order will be made according to our regular schedule and shipped when it's ready.
Please note : once your package leaves our studio, we cannot control shipping times. However, based on our experience, our suggestions for shipping options that increase your chances of receiving your gift on time. Unfortunately, carriers no longer guarantee ship times, so we cannot guarantee any shipping method.
Thank you for your understanding and for choosing our handmade jewelry for your Christmas gift!

Sometimes processing times may take longer depending on our ability to meet the order volume. We do our very best to keep up with our stock, but due to demand, items occasionally may be purchased while materials are on backorder and will be delayed. In the event of shipping delays for any reason we will inform you via e-mail as soon as possible.

If you have not received your package we recommend first contacting your local post office with your tracking number. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items before 45 days after the item has shipped. Please contact us if something has gone awry, so that we may work with the third party insurance to resolve the issue.
