MERCHANTS SHIPPING PROTECTION
Merchants Shipping Protection is a service that provides coverage for lost, stolen, and damaged items during transit. Please note that this is not an insurance service.
Please email our team the following information.
Order Number
Tracking Number
Supporting Documents for claim
support@merchantsofthesun.com.au.
- For packages presumed to be lost, the customer must file an order issue with us no sooner than 5 days after the last tracking update for domestic shipments (7 days for international shipments). This must be done within 30 days from the last checkpoint.
- After 48 hours have passed from the estimated delivery date and no delivery or update has been made, we will consider the order to be "lost" and assist with the next steps.
- If the carrier cannot deliver the package due to an invalid address or other unexpected delivery barriers, we do not cover this. The customer will be referred to the retailer.
- If only part of the order arrives, and there is no evidence of tampering, we do not cover the order issue. The customer will be referred to us. However, if a single order is being shipped in multiple packages and one package does not arrive, we will cover the order issue and reorder or refund the value of the undelivered package. If we forget to ship an item from the customer’s order, the customer needs to reach out to us to have the missing items fulfilled.
- We do not cover packages labelled return to sender because the order has been sent back to the retailer. Items are returned to sender when a customer provides an invalid or undeliverable address or refuses a delivery. However, at our discretion, we may cover the order issue if the returned item is perishable or if the retailer is unable to reuse it.
- We cannot cover when a customer’s order is stuck in international borders/customs. The customer’s next step is to pay the customs fees in order to receive the package. If we replace something the customer has already paid customs on, under our discretion, we can approve and pay customs the second time.
- If the customer's order is marked as unfulfilled or unshipped, the order has not been fulfilled yet by us. Merchants Shipping Protection is not yet in action because the order has not shipped.
- If the customer is filing an order issue the same day that the package was marked as delivered, at our discretion, we may ask you to wait 5 days. Carriers (FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc.) sometimes prematurely mark the package as delivered when it’s still in transit.
- For packages marked "delivered" yet not received, order issues must be filed 5 days after the "delivery date" but no longer than 30 days to ensure it was not mis-delivered or easily found around the premises.
- If the customer inputs the correct address at checkout and the package was delivered to the wrong address, we consider this as stolen, and we will replace the order on behalf of the customer.
- For damaged orders, order issues must be filed within 30 days of the delivery date. If the customer received a broken item and needs to dispose of it (i.e. shattered glass), the customer needs to check their city ordinances and dispose of it properly. The customer does not need to ship it back to us unless we indicate otherwise.
- We hope this information helps you understand the terms and conditions for using Merchants Shipping Protection. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us here: support@merchantsofthesun.com.au

Jewellery & Care
Every piece is handcrafted from high-quality, sustainable materials, including:
- Recycled 925 sterling silver – A durable, premium metal that can last a lifetime.
- 18k gold vermeil – A thick layer of 18k gold over sterling silver for a rich, long-lasting finish.
- White brass – Used in select accessories, offering a bold, antique-inspired aesthetic.
- Ethically sourced gemstones – Hand-selected for their quality, character, and uniqueness.
- Natural freshwater pearls – Each pearl is unique, celebrating organic beauty and timeless style.
Sterling silver naturally oxidises over time, but it’s easy to maintain. Wear your pieces often,store them in a dry place, and occasionally polish them with a soft cloth to keep them shining.
You absolutely can, however we recommend removing your jewellery before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes to prolong its life.
A quick note - your hands shrink when exposed to cooler temperatures, so be cautious that your rings don't fall off while in the surf.
To restore shine:
Use our soft jewellery polishing cloth to remove oxidation that is provided in your order.
For a deeper clean, mix warm water with mild soap, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, then dry thoroughly..
