LANABETTY SHIPPING OPTIONS AND FAQ (product pop-up)

PRODUCTION, DELIVERY, & RETURNS

PRODUCTION

Orders are often produced, packaged, and shipped in the order in which they are received. For an additional fee, we can upgrade your shipping and add a rush to your order. Please contact us if you need to receive your order by a certain date.

CUSTOM DESIGNS

To learn more about our custom design process, please click here. A custom, one-of-a-kind piece, such as an engagement ring, can take up to three months to design, prepare the supplies, and create. Do not leave it until the last minute, plan ahead! Contact us as soon as you can to start the conversation :)

READY-TO-SHIP

Ready-to-ship items are allocated and put into your order as soon as possible, please remember that we are not Amazon, sometimes get sick, and travel during the holidays to other cities for markets. We also may have orders ahead of yours and strive to complete those before shipping your order out. It's a delicate balancing act and we are really doing our best during the busiest times of the year. If you do reach out for an update, try to be polite, we don't want to let you down!

MADE-TO-ORDER

Rings and gemstone jewelry are very often made-to-order and that can mean it takes time to make your jewelry. During peak periods, production can take upwards of three weeks. If you need your order quickly, please contact us!

    DELIVERY & SHIPPING DATES

    Because of the on-going Canada Post strike, all timelines and shipping guarantees are no longer applicable. For USA shipping, it's a wild card, friends. Tarriff rules change frequently and with little notice. We are doing our best.

    CANADA

    VANCOUVER | LOCAL PICKUP

    We are happy to offer Local Pickup to those wishing to visit our studio in Vancouver, BC. During checkout, you can choose Local Pickup as an option.

    SHIPPING

    We also ship! All orders destined for Canadian destinations are shipped as soon as they are ready and that isn't always the next day. Give us time to physically make your jewelry.

    ALL OTHER DESTINATIONS (USA, EUROPE, INTERNATIONAL)

    All orders shipped outside of Canada are delivered to the shipping company once a week, more frequently before the holidays - because of customs, we can't guarantee the shipping timelines quoted from the shipper (to be honest, it is beyond our control). If you are concerned about shipping delays, please contact us.

    🇺🇸 USA: 11/25 USA Shipping is back on. Pins need duties pre-paid. Jewelry ships duty-free! Read more here.

    CANADA & USA SHIPPING

    - CANADA

    At this time you can choose between lettermail, parcel shipping, or expedited. For overnight pricing specific to your order, please contact us before completing your order. Rush fees may apply.

    - USA

    Shipments to the USA are back! If you choose jewelry - it will ship via ChitChats, duty free. If you choose jewelry and pins, it will ship via DHL and you will be required to pay import fees (aka tariffs) at the checkout. Not sure? Email us!

    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

    - EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AND BEYOND

    Shipping outside of North America has a small fee, but we hope you'll understand. We always ship tracked and work to ensure your package arrives safe and sound (and that costs a little bit extra). Please be aware that additional time incurred by customs is not accounted for in the estimated arrival.

    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING DELAYS

    Please keep in mind that transit times can vary greatly. Occasionally packages can be substantially delayed up to 45 days, but the usual transit time is 7 – 14 days.

    When traveling across a border, packages occasionally get held up at customs, which is in the hands of the country's customs officials. Please understand you are taking a risk in buying internationally that your package may be (uncommonly) delayed up to 7 weeks.

    RECEIVING YOUR PACKAGE

    DELIVERY

    Depending on your area, your package may be delivered by the local post office or a local courier (but most often your local post office, so your package will be received with your regular mail). Depending on the value of your package, a notice card may be left in the event that you’re unable to receive and sign for your package directly—but don’t worry, they’ll leave instructions on how and where to retrieve it! Rarely, your local customs office may require additional documents to clear your package which may delay your delivery time.

    Local pickup is now available

    Once your order is ready for pickup, an automatic email will be sent to you to schedule pickup.

    Pickup is only available 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.

    To schedule a pickup outside of normal business hours, please contact us.

    WHAT IF I HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY ORDER

    If you haven’t received your order after 30 days since shipping, please email us at hello@lanabetty.com and we’ll track it down for you ASAP or help you get a replacement for the piece.

    MATERIALS USED: SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

    CAN GOLD TURN MY SKIN GREEN?

    Sometimes, even the best gold jewelry can leave a faint green or dark mark on your skin—and while it’s rare, it’s totally normal. This reaction isn’t a flaw in your jewelry; it’s chemistry. Makeup, lotion, sweat, and even ocean air can interact with the natural alloys in gold (yes, even solid gold!) and cause a bit of surface discoloration.

    To keep your pieces—and your skin—glowing, avoid wearing jewelry in chlorinated water, take it off before applying cosmetics, and clean it regularly to remove buildup. If the issue continues, reach out to our Care Team—we’re always here to help you keep your jewelry looking and feeling beautiful.

    What is Gold-Filled?

    Gold-fill isn’t “filled” with gold—it’s actually layers of real gold pressure-bonded over a strong jewelry-grade brass core using heat and pressure. By law, at least 5% of the piece’s total weight must be solid gold, creating a thick, durable layer that won’t easily wear away. It's 100x thicker than cheap gold plating you might see at H&M or Forever21. It’s the perfect middle ground between solid gold and gold-plated jewelry—offering the same golden glow and longevity at a more accessible price.

    Bonus - it's lead, nickel, and cadmium free as well.

    Caring for your gold-fill jewelry

    With a little love, your gold-fill pieces can last for years. Keep them clean, dry, and safely stored, and avoid harsh chemicals or rough polishing. We include a polishing cloth for occasional touch-ups—use it gently and only when your jewelry looks dull. A light wipe goes a long way to keep your favorite pieces shining bright.

    MATERIALS USED: SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?

    Every LanaBetty piece is crafted with care—and that includes what’s not in it. All of our jewelry (yes, even the solder!) is completely free from lead, nickel, and cadmium. These metals are common irritants and can cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivities, which is why we never use them in our studio. You can wear your jewelry with confidence, knowing it’s as gentle on your skin as it is beautiful to wear.
