1. Product Availability and Pricing
You may view pricing in US Dollars (USD) only.
Infrequently, data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on our site due to system or typographical errors. While we make every attempt to avoid these errors, they may occur. We reserve the right to correct all errors when they do occur and we do not honour inaccurate or erroneous prices. If a product’s listed price is lower than its actual price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping the product or cancel the order and notify you of such cancellation. If the order has been shipped, you agree to either return the product or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Our prices are also subject to change without notice. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us [email protected].
Sales and Price Reductions
At Exhibit Gems, we always offer the best value by providing the lowest possible price. We do not negotiate prices on our products and all our prices are final.
Purchases made through our web site may be shipped to addresses in Australasia, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Please contact us if you fall outside this region and find more details on our shipping page.
For your convenience, we offer the following payment methods:
Credit cards: Use your Visa, MasterCard, or American Express credit card.
Bank wire: Arrange payment through your bank.
All shipments are fully insured for invoices above 1,000 USD.
For added security, a signature may be required upon delivery of your Exhibit Gems orders. Please plan for someone to be available at the shipping destination to sign for receipt.
5. Alternate Shipping Addresses
If you prefer, we can ship your order to an address other than your billing address. As a security precaution, we require that your alternate shipping address be on file with your credit card company. This step helps protect you from fraudulent charges to your credit card.
We grade our finer gemstones and can provide laboratory certification where stated in the product description by reputable companies such as GIA, Gubelin and SSEF. Further laboratory analysis can be made upon request.
7. Order Cancellation & Return Policy
Exhibit Gems offers customers 10 days from the day their order is shipped to cancel or return their order. If you wish to cancel or return your purchase, simply contact us at [email protected] for instructions.
If you have decided that you do not want your item after it has been shipped, please do not refuse delivery. If the item is refused you will be liable for brokerage charges and duty incurred upon its return.
If you are returning the item please do not write jewelry, diamonds, or gems or any other identifiable luxury item word in order to protect the package against possible theft during transportation.
For goods under 500 USD in value, please send by Priority mail, Registered mail, or Fed Ex. Do not declare the value. Do include some order ID number for identification. Please e-mail us your registered mail, Priority mail, or FedEx number the day you ship so we can acquire insurance. Failure to comply will result in your liability for uninsured return shipments.
For goods over 500 USD in value, please contact us at [email protected] or call for specific return instructions.
Send mail in a strong envelope so the parcel looks like an ordinary letter with some documents. If you are sending several items, please pack them so they do not damage each other.
Note that once your item has shipped, your order cancellation will take effect after a) it is returned to Exhibit Gems, and b) our Quality Assurance verifies that it is in its original condition. Please note that buyers will cover cost of shipping for any return of goods.
Some Special, Discounted or Promotional Offers have a no return policy and are clearly marked with the label, “No Return”. Exhibit Gems return policies do not apply to all rough stones, items that are labelled as “No Return” and items purchased on credit.
At Exhibit Gems, we make every attempt to ensure that our online catalogue is as accurate and complete as possible. To give you the opportunity to view our products in detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs; and since every computer monitor is set differently, colour and size may vary slightly.
All information you provide to Exhibit Gems for the purpose of ordering or mailing list signups is kept strictly confidential and never shared with any other organisation or person.
