Delivery Information
Due to the current worldwide situation, Royal Mail are working on reduced staff and following social distancing measures. We are seeing some deliveries take much longer than usual, so please make sure you read our current guidelines below regarding the various delivery options we have available.
We are seeing most orders delivered within the set timelines, however some are taking a little longer than usual.
William May always goes the extra mile for our customers, and we want to ensure your purchases get to you as quickly and safely as possible.
We endeavour to dispatch products on the same day that they have been ordered. To do so, we must have the items in stock and orders need to be placed before 1pm on a normal working day. All customers will receive a dispatch confirmation once their jewellery has been sent out.
William May makes UK, EU and international deliveries. If your package is particularly large or heavy, there may be a small surcharge in addition to the standard delivery cost.
Please note, the delivery times outlined below are estimates, and these can sometimes vary.
Please note - if more than one item is ordered there may be a slight delay in dispatch as we have to collect stock from various branches.

Returns Policy
William May offer a 45 day hassle free returns policy on all items, providing the goods are returned to us in the same condition as they were sent.
In order to return refundable products to William May, you must return the item within 45 days of purchase in the same unworn condition as it was when received.
Please place the product in its original packaging/display box, unworn, and include any labels or tags that might have been attached to it. You should also use the original postage parcel or box, provided it is still fit for purpose, and ensure it is securely sealed.
You need to specify the full value of the products being returned to the Post Office. For the purpose of the return, you should not factor in any discount that was received when purchasing the item(s).
We recommend sending anything valued over £50 by Royal Mail Special Delivery to cover yourself for any loss.
Additionally, you need to ensure the insurance/compensation cover selected for the parcel either matches or exceeds the value of the products. You will be responsible for any additional insurance fees or costs that are incurred.
Please note any returned items that have been worn or show signs of damage may incur a refurbishment charge. We will assess your item upon return and contact you if any charges will be made.
