ORDER PROCESSING TIMEFRAMES
Most of the jewellery at www.madamemakjewellery.com is READY TO SHIP, unless specified otherwise. A local production partner and third-party jeweller/s is engaged for any "MADE TO ORDER" jewellery, and as such the processing time frames are out of MMJ's control and largely vary depending on the demand and the time of year. By placing an order you acknowledge that the processing of your order may take anywhere between 2 business days (for ready to ship items) and up to 6 weeks (for made to order items) to fully process, not including the shipping timeframe to local interstate and international destinations. Customs and bespoke do not fall within this umbrella rule, as the nature of each project varies. Please keep these turnaround times in mind before placing your order, as orders are strictly unable to be refunded due to manufacturing delays or postal delays. In an event your item is running behind or predicted to run behind schedule, Madame Mak will be in contact to discuss progress timeframes with you. Any items listed as "ready to ship" on the website will be posted within 2 business days of purchase, excluding any public holidays or weekends. Please thoroughly read each listing for a full description and any disclaimer therein.
