Buying jewelry or any personal item on the internet presents some unique difficulties because you just can’t see what you’re buying in person. How will it look? Will it fit? Will it match my other things? But let’s face it, you’re just not going to find a nearby local brick and mortar store with the complete selection, or the rock bottom prices we can offer at BlackHillsGoldSource.com Even with the increased shipping charges that UPS has imposed since gasoline prices have risen (and they don’t seem to lower them when gas goes down), you’re still making a substantial savings compared to buying your Black Hills Gold ring at a local retailer.

Tag Archives: Black Hills Gold Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship my Black Hills Gold order via US Postal Service instead of UPS?
Unless you are shipping to a PO Box, every order placed at BlackHillsGoldSource.com is automatically queued for shipment via UPS Ground. You can also select UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air, for additional cost, during checkout on our online order form. We use UPS because at this time they offer better tracking integration with our ordering and fulfillment system. However, we can also ship your jewelry via US Postal Service Priority Mail (typically three days) or Express Mail (overnight) by special request if necessary. Some rural locations are simply better serviced by the Post Office and they will also deliver on Saturday whereas in many cases, delivery via UPS wouldn’t have been until Monday. We also ship all outgoing International Orders though the US Postal Service as we have found them to be much more cost-effective and equally dependable as UPS for international shipments.

How long will it take to receive my Black Hills Gold order?
Every order received by BlackHillsGoldSource is processed for payment and then forwarded to Landstroms shipping department to be filled. If your item is in stock, it will typically ship the next day (Monday through Friday) via UPS Ground, unless you specified expedited shipping on the online order page. If your item is not in stock, then it will take approximately eight working days (again Monday-Friday) for Landstroms to build your item for you, regardless of the shipping method selected. We will notify you by email with an estimated ship date within 24 hours of receiving your order if your item is not in stock. Continue reading
