Absurdly difficult shipping process. I live in a condo, fedex fails at delivering signature required packages to it. I frequently am forced to use fedex for packages containing well over $5,000 in value. Fedex typically lets me assign a hold location which can either be a fedex distribution point or a fedex approved Walgreens. Brilliant Earth has restricted their shipping so that I may not use a hold location on my end. Jerry, the customer representative I spoke with, informed me that in order to achieve a hold location shipping address, I would need to have my order refunded and then be provided a new invoice, which would cause a delay in processing time. There was added difficulty due to wanting to pay via bank account in paypal and I was told I would need to assert that the fedex distribution point was my actual physical address in paypal. I opted to fully cancel the order and place a new order via credit card and had to manually specify the fedex hold location as my address. This is highly atypical and you should know your process is a hassle for customers. Customers should be able to apply their own hold location, which typically occurs after an order has already been assigned a tracking number and dropped at fedex. I am highly displeased with the added and unnecessary complexity that you have forced upon me. Jerry was understanding and helpful, but bound by your inefficient policies. I would encourage Brilliant Earth to have a better understanding of shipping and e-commerce related restrictions rather than foisting a rigid set of rules upon their customers.
