All issues must be reported within 20 days of receiving your shipment notification and we ask that you allow up to 4 weeks for your replacement to ship once confirmed by Gem Surprise. Once it is processed, you will receive an email with new tracking information.

    Due to limited inventory, we cannot guarantee you will receive the same type of item for your replacement but it will be of equal value.

    As a surprise subscription service we do not offer returns, refunds or credits for dissatisfaction of subscription contents or a change of client’s interest.
