Process for online orders and cancellations
Ordering process and contract formation
By completing and submitting an electronic order, you are making an offer to purchase goods which, if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract.
Certain steps must be followed for a binding contract to be formed between us, which are described below. After you have placed your order:
We will send you an email to acknowledge your order. It will confirm which goods you have ordered. This email is not an order acceptance from us and at this stage no contract is formed between us.
When we dispatch your goods from the warehouse, we will send you a confirmation email. This email constitutes a formal acceptance of your order by us. This also means that a binding contract between us is formed and you and we are obliged to fulfil our obligations under that binding contract.
Payment will be processed and taken when the order is placed with us. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from us.
Please note that orders will only be dispatched once we have authorisation from your payment card issuer. We will aim to inform you as soon as possible if there is an issue with the payment authorisation process or with any validation checks for your order. We will not accept your order if payment is not authorised. Where there are issues with the authorisation process or validation checks, your delivery may be delayed as a result.
We do not have to accept your order, and, we will not accept your order if:
  • we do not have the goods in stock/the goods in stock appear to be damaged
  • your payment is not authorised
  • there is an error on our website regarding the price or other details of the goods
  • you have cancelled your order in accordance with the instructions below
  • we will be in contact with you as soon as we can in each of the above circumstances to discuss your options.
We reserve the right to refuse any order.
Cancelling an order before dispatch
If you change your mind after placing an order, you can cancel it at any time before we have sent our Dispatch Email to you. Please see the Contact Us page for our telephone number and email. To cancel your order, you will need to give us your name and address details, as well as your order number.
Returning goods after dispatch
Cooling off period
When you order from us online, you are entitled to a cooling off period after dispatch of your goods. During this cooling-off period, you can return your goods without any charge. Our cooling off period is 14 days (from delivery of the goods to you) which includes any statutory cooling off period.
This period starts the day the contract is agreed and becomes binding (i.e. you receive a Dispatch Email from us) and ends 14 days after the day following delivery of the goods.
Unless we are at fault (for example where you have received faulty items, or items which are not as described), certain items are excluded from the cooling off period guarantee: these include pierced items where their packaging has been opened
Faulty goods
If you do receive faulty goods, please follow one of the procedures outlined on the How to Return Items page.
Returning a gift
Refunds for gifts can only be made to the payment card used to purchase the goods. So, if you buy a gift online, the recipient will not be able to get a refund.
Returning goods
Please refer to our Delivery & Returns Policy page for details of how and where to return goods.
If you wish to return goods you have a duty to keep them in your possession and to take reasonable care of them until you return them. Goods must be returned in their original condition, including immediate packaging, within the cooling off period.
We accept refunds or exchanges of pierced items provided they are returned in their original (unopened) packaging.
Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights. For further information on your statutory rights look at www.consumerdirect.gov.uk.
Delivery information
Free Standard delivery applies to all products on the Atkinsons the Jewellers website.
  • We reserve the right to change or discontinue free delivery at any time.
  • We can deliver to anywhere in the UK (including Northern Ireland). Unfortunately, we cannot deliver online orders to stores or addresses in the Channel Islands or Eire.
When will I receive my goods?
We will send you a Dispatch Email as soon as your goods have been dispatched. You should receive your goods within 2 - 5 days or 1-2 days (excluding Sundays) if your order is over £180.
If you chose Next Day Delivery: you will receive your goods on the next working day after dispatch. If you order after 1pm on a Thursday, your goods will be dispatched on Friday, and should be delivered on the next working day (Monday). If you order after 1pm on a Friday your goods will not be dispatched until the following Monday and should be delivered on Tuesday.
We will make every effort to deliver your goods in accordance with the timescales indicated in our Delivery information page. We will not be liable for delays in delivering your goods where such delay is due to reasons outside of our control.
Please note that you will need someone to sign and accept delivery.
Product availability
Our Website only shows goods available for purchase in the UK (including Northern Ireland). We are unfortunately unable to dispatch goods to addresses outside the UK or in the Channel Islands.
If the goods you have ordered are unavailable, you will be contacted by us to confirm this.
Pricing and payment
Prices throughout the website are quoted in Pounds Sterling and payment can only be accepted in Pounds Sterling. Prices include VAT. Prices quoted on the Website are applicable exclusively to goods purchased through this Website. Prices applicable to goods for purchase in the Atkinsons the Jewellers store may differ from those quoted on this website.
While we make every effort to ensure that the goods shown on our website are currently available at the price shown on the website, we cannot guarantee that this will always be the case. If goods you have ordered online are unavailable at the price or conditions shown, you will be notified as soon as possible.
If a pricing error is made on our website or in the ordering process, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of buying the goods at the correct price or cancelling the order. If we cannot get in contact with you to notify you of the error, your order will be cancelled. In those circumstances, no payment will be taken from you or, if applicable, any payment taken will be returned to the card used.
Changes to Terms & Conditions for Buying Goods Online
We reserve the right to change these Terms & Conditions from time to time. If you do not wish your purchase(s) to be governed by the revised Terms & Conditions for Buying Goods Online, you must not place any further orders.
These Terms & Conditions for Buying Goods Online are governed by the law of England and you and we agree to use the English courts if there is any dispute between us.
If any part of these Terms & Conditions for Buying Goods Online is found to be invalid by law, the rest of them remain valid and enforceable.
Conflict Diamonds
Our aim is to keep diamonds free of conflict.
Here at Atkinsons the Jewellers we consider the sourcing of Diamonds to be a very important issue. To the best of our knowledge our stones are not involved in funding conflict.
What are Conflict Diamonds?
When Diamonds are sold to fund illegal operations by rebel, military, or terrorist groups they are referred to as Conflict Diamonds.
The NAJ Code of Ethics.
We are a member of the NAJ and abide by their stringent code of Ethics. The NAJ takes this code very seriously and any member found in violation of this policy will have their membership withdrawn.
