RETURNS - MISSING PARCELS

As our items are sold via the internet, we follow the consumer regulations

All the information can be found here. 

​

https://www.gov.uk/accepting-returns-and-giving-refunds

​

As our items are made to order, and are handcrafted, we are not obliged to refund you should you simply change your mind, we will use our discretion.
If we do agree to allow you to return your item, we do not refund the initial postage fee, nor do we pay for the return, and there is a 15-20% restocking fee deducted from your refund due to the item being handmade and potentially taking a lot time to resell. 
In this case, you have 14 days to return the item, from the date it was received.

​

If the item needs to be returned and it is our error, then we shall pay for the return costs.

If you simply changed your mind about an item, you will need to pay for the return postage. 

We do ask that all orders are checked within 2-3 days of receiving them and contact us with any issues as soon as possible. 

If you report a broken or missing item and it has been more than one week since your parcel was delivered to you, we are not obliged to replace this item

Should you wish to return an item please contact us via the contact form which you will find in our menus. 

​

BREAKAGES DURING TRANSIT: Unfortunately this can happen despite how well packaged and labelled our boxes are. 
If items do arrive damaged, please email us within 2-3 days of delivery with clear photos of the damage and the damaged packaging if applicable.
We will usually send a replacement without the need to return items, but this is discretionary, and we may request the items back before exchanging, depending on the value, level of damage and circumstances.

We will send you a returns label and once the items are back with us, we will send out the replacement items

 

MISSING PARCELS: On occasion, Royal Mail can lose items.

We do not immediately refund or replace an order that a customer has reported as missing.
We have tracking reference numbers for all the items we send, so we shall track this for you and give you this number and only once an item either comes back to us, or has been declared missing, by exceeding Royal Mail's 11 working day deadline, will we refund or replace an order.

We ask you to please contact your local sorting offices / depots with the reference number as they are likely to be able to locate and arrange it's delivery to you or contact us to look into it for you. 

In most cases, we shall offer a replacement order if the items are urgent and you have customers waiting, but this is at our discretion.

This is only if the tracking confirms that no delivery has taken place.
If we track an order, and it says that it has been delivered to you, this is to be taken as reliable from Royal Mail, as the parcels are scanned at the precise location, and we are provided with a GEOCODE (The unique co-ordinates) of the delivery location before posting, or being handed to the recipient.

ADDED TERM AS PER ROYAL MAIL POLICY CHANGE SEPTEMBER 2024 

Royal Mail now charge US when parcels are returned to us following a failure by the recipient to either be present at the address at all attempted delivery attempts or failure to arrange a redelivery in time. 
In ALL these cases, should a parcel be returned to us, we shall pass this surcharge to you, either by deducting it from your refund if you wish to cancel the order or by invoicing this to you PLUS a resend delivery charge should you request the parcel is resent.
We will not be covering the cost of return to sender charges
So we urge you please, to avoid this happening, ensure you provide the correct email address when ordering so you see your dispatch email, and you can gauge approximate delivery days (usually 1-3 days from dispatch)
Look out for RED cards through your door and please make all efforts to receive your parcel safely. 
Look at our estimated dispatch dates when ordering, so if you feel you may not be in, either provide a more convenient address or write a note to us in the basket page asking us to dispatch it on a specific date better suited to you. 

In all cases of missing parcels, please contact us within 25 days of the estimated delivery date.
We have only 28 days to claim with couriers, so informing us after this date invalidates any claims we can make on your behalf
