We regret that special orders are not returnable, and that no refund or exchange can be made.

Deposits and payments made on special orders are non-refundable and are not eligible for store credit.

RETURNED CHECK PROCESSING POLICY

Returned checks are subject to a $35.00 fee.

REPAIRS

We will make every effort to contact you as soon as your jewelry or watch repair is completed. We are not responsible for articles left over 60-days after repair is completed. Payment in full is expected upon pickup.

COST OF REPAIR

Our competitive pricing and commitment to offering high-quality watch repairs is what separates us from our competitors. The cost of repair work is evaluated based on an estimate, which is a professional determination of what the best course of action for the repair of your watch will cost. The estimate is ascertained based on the condition(s) observed and evaluated by a skilled watchmaker technician. Danson Jewelers will not proceed with any repair work until you provide us with your full consent to proceed with repair work in accordance with the estimate. We are unable to provide an estimate until your watch has been received at our facility and properly evaluated by one of our skilled technicians.

 

ESTIMATE

Our skilled technicians will take a detailed evaluation of your watch upon its arrival to our facility. Technicians will consider the symptoms reported by you, as well as all conditions personally observed that were not reported in order to provide a monetary estimate and timeline to complete the necessary repair work.

There could be two sections to an estimate – Required Services and Optional Services. Required services are the minimum services required to repair your watch. Optional services may also be recommended based on the condition or age of the watch. Customers will have several options, as detailed below, with how to proceed once the services have been ascertained:

-The Customer can APPROVE the Required Services and DECLINE all Optional Services.

-The Customer can APPROVE both the Required Services and all Optional Services.

-The Customer can APPROVE the Required Services and select individual Optional Services.

-The Customer can DECLINE both Required and Optional Services.

Upon accepting the estimate, you will be required to provide payment before any repair work can begin. If you decide to decline all services, we will return your unrepaired watch to the return address you entered on the initial input form. We will honor the initial estimate for 90 days pending a follow-up evaluation to verify no further damage has been incurred to your watch (as judged by Danson Jewelers’ watchmakers).

 

NON-AUTHENTIC TIMEPIECES

Danson Jewelers will not perform any service on a timepiece that we believe is a replica. Non-authentic watches may be confiscated and you may be held responsible for the cost of return postage.

 

GUARANTEE OF REPAIR

Danson Jewelers does not guarantee that we can repair your watch. The brand, type, and style are all characteristics that we consider in when doing any repair work. Our technicians must first evaluate your timepiece to determine if the repair can be completed successfully, and then a cost must be attached to the repair work. We cannot guarantee that parts that are removed during the repair will be returned to you. Certain brands require old parts to be exchanged in order to purchase new parts. We will accommodate requests to return parts whenever possible, but the option may not always be available.

 

LENGTH OF REPAIR TIME

Danson Jewelers makes no guarantees or promises regarding the length of repair time. Due to the nature of our service, and the variable timelines of various part suppliers, we can only provide general timelines. These timelines are not intended to be a guarantee or deadline. We will do the best that we can to inform the customer of any changes to the originally reported timeline. Furthermore, once a repair has begun, we are unable to process any requests for a cancellation or issue a refund, regardless of any unforeseen circumstances that may arise to the estimated repair completion date.

 

PAYMENT AND REFUND POLICY

Upon accepting your repair estimate, payment must be made with a credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express) or PayPal via our Merchant Gateway. Upon submitting payment, you agree to be legally bound to have Danson Jewelers proceed with your repair work in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed to in the estimate and this site. If we deem that the watch is unrepairable after payment is made, then a full refund will be issued and we will bear the cost of postage to return the watch. In the event you require warranty service, no refunds are issued, but free warranty work is provided.

Please note that all removable parts (straps, buckles, etc.) are specially ordered from the manufacturer and are non-refundable once approved by the customer.

 

RETURN SHIPPING

Danson Jewelers offers complimentary insured return shipping only to the lower 48 states for all completed repair jobs and declined repair estimates only for watch brands that we service. You may be held responsible for the cost of postage to return watches that we do not service. Return shipments outside the lower 48 states must be paid for by the customer. Danson Jewelers does not ship to P.O. boxes.  We require signature confirmation for all inbound shipments. The customer bears the burden of purchasing expedited shipping. All items are shipped F.O.B. buyer.

If you are not available to sign for the delivery after three attempts, the package may be returned to us, at which point you are responsible for a payment to cover reshipment from our facility. You may also be responsible to pay for return shipping on replica watches, digital watches, pocket watches, and watch brands that are not on our list of brands serviced. Danson Jewelers is not responsible for:

-Items delivered to incorrect addresses supplied by the customer.

-Unsuccessful deliveries arising from the recipient not being present at time of delivery at the address supplied by the customer.

-Unforeseen delays in delivery due to the fault of the courier or Mother Nature.

-Lost, stolen, or damaged items due to the fault of the courier.

 

SALES TAX

Danson Jewelers does not collect sales tax on shipments to states where we do not have a business presence. You should check with your local and state taxing authorities to determine your responsibility for claiming your purchase for proper use tax reporting.

 

SHIPPING AND INSURANCE

The customer is responsible for ensuring that all inbound shipments arrive to our facility safely. The customer agrees to be solely responsible for any damage incurred to any item while in transit to our facility. Please review our instructions for protecting your watch during transit. Danson Jewelers recommends shipping via USPS Priority Mail, UPS, or FedEx. Regardless of the courier selected, you must insure your watch for its fair market replacement value, and send it with delivery confirmation and signature confirmation. Danson Jewelers is not responsible for watches that are lost, stolen, or damaged while in transit to our facility. Danson Jewelers assumes liability from the time your watch is delivered to our facility until it has departed our facility.

Danson Jewelers will provide complimentary insured return shipping for completed repair jobs and watches with declined repair estimates if shipping is to the lower 48 states. The primary shipping courier employed by Danson Jewelers is UPS. An adult must be available to sign upon delivery for all UPS shipments.

 

SHIPPING INSURANCE

Danson Jewelers will insure completed repair work for only the fair market replacement value of your watch only. Danson Jewelers will not consider any sentimental value of any item. Coverage is limited to the dollar amount you indicated on the inbound shipment forms, and is further limited to the actual value of the watch as assessed by our technicians. Should you decline our repair estimate, your watch is covered during its return shipment for its replacement value minus the estimated cost of repair.

 

WARRANTY AND INSURANCE CLAIMS

Please review our Danson Jewelers 2 Year Warranty policy which governs all services performed by Danson Jewelers. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of the service performed, you must contact us within seven days of receiving your repaired timepiece.

If you are going to value your watch at a specific amount, it is your responsibility to defend this amount with a formal appraisal by an independent and disinterested third-party that is qualified to make such an appraisal, and/or with a valid receipt for the watch when purchased new. The “new” value of the watch must consider depreciation when determining the fair market replacement value.

 

UNREPAIRABLE WATCHES

If, in the judgment of Danson Jewelers, your watch cannot feasibly be repaired due to lack of access to necessary parts or labor, we will return the watch to you at our expense.

 

UNWANTED WATCHES

In the event that you do not wish to proceed with a repair, and do not wish for us to ship it back to you, we will store the unrepaired watch for a period of 90 days in the event that you later decide to have the watch repaired or returned. After 90 days, your watch will be considered abandoned.
