Q: Why didn't I receive an order confirmation or shipping notification?

Q: How do I use reward points?
In order to find out how much you have available in reward points simply log into your FreshTrends account and click on My Account. Click on Reward Points on the left side of the page. After you add your selected items to your cart and proceed to checkout, you will be able to apply your reward points to the items you have selected.

Reward points expire 365 days after they are activated.

You should have received an automated email with your store credit redemption code, but it can also be retrieved through your account. On the left side of your My Account page, you'll see a link labelled Gift Certificates. Available store credit will appear here with the redemption code. Enter the code at checkout in the box labeled Coupon or Gift Certificate Code.

Q: What does "in production" mean in my order status?
The "in production" status refers to gold orders produced by our in-house jewelers or special order items that are not stocked at our FreshTrends warehouse. If you need an update on the status of your "in production" order, please call 561-250-0841 or contact us. Please note that the production time of special order items is stated on the product page in the details section of the page.
Q: One of my items is on backorder. What's going on?
We do our very best to ensure that all items listed as "in stock" are ready to ship within 1 - 2 business days. From time to time, there is a system error that allows an item to ship even though it is out of stock at the time. If an item you ordered is backordered, you will be notified by e-mail. You may reply to that e-mail requesting to cancel the backordered item and choose an alternate item. If you prefer, we can either credit your FreshTrends account or your original method of payment.
Q: I need to update my shipping address, what do I do?
Log in to your FreshTrends account and click on My Account. Click on Manage Addresses on the right side of the page.
If, for some reason, you need to change the shipping address for an order already in production, please contact customer service immediately. You can reach us at 561-250-0841 Monday through Friday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm or e-mail us any time.
Addresses for orders processed via PayPal cannot be adjusted once the order is submitted, due to PayPal policy.
If your order has already shipped and is returned to sender due to an error in the shipping address, we will contact you as soon as your order has returned to our facility. There will be a $4.99 reshipping fee for domestic packages and a $9.99 reshipping fee for international packages if the address was entered incorrectly at checkout or if you are not registered to the address provided.
Q: I'm not sure what size to get for my piercing. What are the standard sizes used for each piercing?
These are the standard sizes used for each piercing in body jewelry. Please note that we cannot guarantee that this is the size used for YOUR piercing. These are the standard gauges and lengths used by professional piercers. Everyone's body is different, and sometimes piercers will use different lengths and gauges depending on your body.

Q: Is FreshTrends' jewelry nickel free?
We use nickel-free 14k gold for our gold body jewelry, which is great for people with sensitive skin since the majority of metal-related skin issues come from sensitivities to nickel. For more information about the quality of our precious metals please read our Certificate of Assay.
Q: Can I change or cancel my order?
If you need to change or cancel an order please contact us immediately for your options. Customer relations representatives are available during regular business hours: Monday - Friday from 9am until 5pm EST (except holidays). Please call 561-250-0841 or contact us.
Q: My order shows as "on hold". What does this mean?
If you see that your order is "on hold" please do not be alarmed. The order is generally on hold as part of our internal processes, and it will not affect the processing speed of your order. If you order is on hold due to a reason related to delivery, you will be contacted via e-mail or phone.
Q: Do you charge sales tax?
We only charge sales tax if you are shipping to an address anywhere in the state of Florida.
Q: I ordered the wrong size. What do I do?
We understand that mistakes happen and we are here to help. There is a $20 resizing fee (plus shipping to and from). We can only make items shorter in length; we cannot make them longer or change the gauge size. If you need to make an item longer or a different gauge, that would require the purchase of a whole new piece.
We reserve the right to increase (or decrease) the resizing fee based on the difficulty of the piece. We will always call or email for authorization prior to charging additional fees related to your order.
Q: Can I cancel a custom gold/platinum item while it is "in production"?
Gold/platinum items can only be cancelled for store credit up to 3 days after the order has been received. After this time period, your item will go into the beginning production stages and, unfortunately, cannot be cancelled.
On rare occasions, due to high demand, the production of a custom gold/platinum item may take longer than projected. If the production of your item is running late, and you wish to cancel your order, we will issue full store credit.
Q: What happens if I have a threading issue or defect with my custom gold item?
We stand behind all of our gold/platinum items 14 days from delivery date. Should you encounter a defect or threading issue within 14 days of receipt we will repair as a courtesy.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten ball and charms. When tightening your gold/platinum items it is important not to over tighten. This is a very common error since you do not want to take the risk of losing your item. Please only tighten until snug. Over tightening will compromise your threading and cause the threading to strip. If you encounter a defect or a threading issue and you have had your item longer than 14 days from delivery date we are still here to help. We will repair and reship your item for $13.99.
Q: What happens if a stone comes loose in my custom gold item?
All of our stones are set by our master jeweler, and you should not encounter any issues with proper use and care. If your stone does happen to fall out within 14 days from delivery date, we will reset your stone as a courtesy.
If you have had your item for more than 14 days and your stone falls out, it must be returned for inspection by our jeweler. A quote for repair will be provided upon the jeweler's inspection. If you are returning the stone along with the item to be reset, your fees will be lower.
