Payment Information

  • Payment can be made via STRIPE, an innovative global leader in payment technology. It provides PCI DSS compliant payment solutions under the STRIPE brand, certified with all major card schemes. This is our preferred option.
  • PayPal Express is also available as being a way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, PayPal Smart Connect or account balances, without sharing financial information. Paypal currency conversion fees are normally higher than from standard banks; therefore, this is not the preferred option.
  • Prices do not include any import fees, duties, tariffs or any other charges associated with importing the Products to any country other than New Zealand. Just to let you know, extra costs may be incurred on entry depending on the customs requirement of the country involved. Any additional charges made at the point of entry to a country are the purchaser's responsibility.
  • Prices are charged in NZ Dollars. Currency conversion on the site is subject to the bank rate on the day the credit card is charged (day of dispatch). This will vary between credit card companies. Credit card companies may also charge a currency conversion charge which varies between banks and countries. The currency conversion shown on the site is shown as guidance only using the current exchange rate but does not represent a bank's "Sell" rate which will vary by country and bank.

Delivery

  • From our experience, delays in arrivals are caused by slow customs clearance or slow notification to you by your customs that the item has arrived and requires clearing. Once the item has left us, we have no control over delivery. We are not responsible for slow deliveries caused by natural disasters, unnatural disasters, terrorist actions, border controls delays, or anything beyond our control. Please allow plenty of time for delivery if you need the order by a particular date, such as Christmas or Valentine's. There is a chance of delays in the mail systems at Christmas time, and items ordered in the last 10 days have the greatest chance of missing Christmas delivery, even with Express Couriers, if that is your target date. We do dispatch Evenstar's within 48 hours working days and custom-made rings within 7 working days.
  • Once the item arrives in your country, you are responsible for organising the delivery and ensuring the item is processed through your postal system. Depending on your shipping option, we will provide all information and tracking where that is available.
  • We are not responsible for any delay caused by delivery agents
  • We are not responsible for incorrect addresses or postal codes that are supplied to us.
  • So that you know, we are not responsible for items that go missing in the post if insurance is not selected as part of the shipping option.
  • The New Zealand-based license holder supplies all jewellery items. The packaging that will be shipped with the item, including any pouches, cases and the License card, is supplied by the License holder and is made and printed in China.

Customs Requirements

We must attach customs documentation to all international packages, including a description of the goods and their cost. Customs or import duties may be levied once the package reaches your country. These additional charges for customs clearance are your responsibility. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, and our experience is that although most orders have no problems, the occasional one does require customs entry fees to be paid. Feedback shows that only a few orders get caught for duty, and there is usually a limit before any charges apply. Currently, this limit in Australia is AUD$ 1,000. Please feel free to contact your local customs office for further information.
