Common Questions
Do I need an appointment for piercing?
Both walk-ins and appointments are available, subject to staff availability. An appointment can reduce waiting.
Do you clean jewellery?
Yes. Jewellery cleaning is available as a paid service, and Gold Factory also sells jewellery-cleaning products in store and online.
Do you pierce babies' ears?
Yes, normally from over 6 months old. Gold Factory may refuse if staff believe the baby is too small or that piercing should not proceed.
Customer Service & Complaints
Can I ask Gold Factory to source something unusual?
Yes. The team can often source unusual jewellery, diamonds, gemstones or pre-owned items. Provide as much detail as possible.
Can I complain by telephone?
The team can discuss an issue by telephone, but the formal complaint should be sent by email so there is a clear written record.
Can I get a better price if I visit?
If the customer asks, say: "Pop into the shop and we will do our best to look after you." No specific discount is guaranteed.
Can I place a large order?
Yes. For a high-value or large order, an appointment is recommended so stock, payment, pricing and security arrangements can be discussed properly.
Can I send a repair photo on WhatsApp?
Yes. Use the official Gold Factory WhatsApp option shown on www.goldfactory.co.uk.
Can I send photos through chat?
Yes, where the chat system supports it. Photos are useful for repair enquiries, sourcing, bespoke discussions and initial product questions, but a physical inspection may still be required.
Do you serve trade customers?
Gold Factory can provide trade services for appropriate jewellery businesses, including workshop/repair arrangements. Separate trade terms can apply.
How do I make a complaint?
Gold Factory's preferred complaint method is email. Send the complaint to sales@goldfactory.co.uk with the order/invoice number, contact details and a clear explanation of the issue.
How quickly will a human reply?
Gold Factory will respond as soon as possible. Response times can vary according to the enquiry and staff availability.
