Shipping, return and refund
SHIPPING
We are based and ship from UK.
Packages are generally dispatched within 7 days (Tuesday and Friday morning) after payment has been received, using a third party service, usually Royal Mail, with its own policy and terms of use for which we take no responsability. Dispatch time can take longer when a product is out of stock, for wholesale or custom orders, during holiday times or in case of exceptional and unspected events. As we ship using a third party service, dispatching is by us handing the goods to the carrier or post office.
We do not charge VAT on our products as currently, we are not required to register for VAT in the country we are based on, therefore international buyers might be subjected to pay an added fee (VAT + custom fee) enforced by the mail/courier service before delivery.
We offer different shipping services, and we recommend a tracked shipping for international orders. Choosing shipping options for international orders different from a tracked one is at your own risk.
We take special care to protect fragile objects, but we accept no responsibility for lost parcels or damage to their contents during the delivery process from the post office or courier, to the buyer specified shipping address, and in general for any problem concerning mail or courier service. Following dispatching, lost or damaged parcels are responsability of the courier or mail service, which will also have to provide a refund (which can be partial or the full value of the parcel) in compensation based on their own policy.
As we ship using a third party service, we suggest to take vision of the loss and damaged police applied by Royal Mail service to also evaluate if you require a specific insurance to be added to your shipping service, meaning an extra charged will apply to your purchase based on insurance fee, to be paid before the parcel can be dispatched.
As alternative to the mail service refund we offer to resend the lost or damaged items for free once the claiming and investigation process has been completed.
Our shipping costs also include handeling fee, and are applicable to small parcels up to 4 Kg out from UK, and up to 5kg within UK. If your order will exceed these ranges of weight, it will be require an additional cost plus insurance.
We offer a free standard shipping service for orders above £50 (within UK) and free tracked shipping service for orders above £100 (International), £150 (wholesale within UK) and £350 (wholesale international), to which our shipment, refund and returns policy still applies.
We cannot group two or more distinct orders placed separately, and we will need to apply shipping fees to each of them.
Products made by third party partner companies are shipped to you by them via their own carrier, therefore these products do not qualify for free shipping.
When you order these items together with other products you will be charged two separated shipping rates, and receive more than one parcel. Dates for shipping and delivery change based on the product you order.
It is important for you to know that we try our best to offer a professional, pleasant shopping experience, and a quality service, but we have no control and responsibility over manufacturers’ production process, their shipping time, or unexpected delays.
