Shipping Policy

Shipping Policy for K2Gems:

Domestic Shipping:

All domestic gem purchases are shipped with care and precision. We primarily use USPS Priority for secure and reliable delivery. Here are the specifics:

  • Rate Structure:
    • The first gem incurs a shipping fee of $10.
    • Each additional gem beyond the first is an extra $3.
  • Flexibility:
    • Regardless of the weight and size of the package, our flat-rate pricing ensures fairness.

International Shipping:

For our valued international customers, we extend the same commitment to secure and efficient shipping. Here's how:

  • Rate Structure:
    • The first gem carries a shipping fee of $60.
    • Each additional gem beyond the first is an extra $15.
  • Consistency:
    • Similar to domestic shipping, our flat-rate pricing remains constant regardless of the package's weight or size.

Shipping Disclaimer:

  • Signature Requirement:
    • Specimens valued at $500 or above demand a signature upon delivery.
    • Buyers may also request a signature for specimens valued below $500, offering an added layer of security.
  • Flexibility:
    • Signature requirements can be waived in writing at the time of purchase, but the buyer assumes all risks related to non-receipt of the shipment.

Multiple Items:

  • Efficiency:
    • We aim to consolidate multiple items in one box whenever possible.
    • If size and weight limitations prevent consolidation, we maintain the same flat rate for all separate shipments.
  • Carrier Options:
    • In certain cases, specimens may be shipped via alternative carriers like FedEx or UPS at their respective rates, quoted upon request.

Insurance:

  • Minimum Coverage:
    • Every shipment is insured with a minimum value of $100.
  • Additional Coverage:
    • Buyers can request insurance coverage beyond $100 at their expense.
    • Ownership and liability transfer to the buyer upon the parcel's arrival scan at the post office.
