Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalised orders

If you would like a custom or personalised item not currently listed please contact us for a quote. Please note that we do not copy other people's designs or use copyrighted wording, please do not ask us to do so. We can however work with you to suggest appropriate wording and designs if you would like assistance with this. It is important to note that custom and personalised items are not refundable unless they arrive damaged. In this case we will repair, replace or refund on receipt of your returned item. Commissioned designs may later be carried as in stock designs, please let us know before you order if you require exclusivity.

Delivery address

It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide their correct postal address.

Should you provide an incorrect address please contact us straight away and we will do our best to help. However we will not take responsibility for orders posted to an incorrect address provided by the buyer and should the buyer not receive their item a refund will not be issued.

Please note if you are purchasing from abroad or requesting us to send items outside of the UK you are personally responsible for knowing the legalities of importing such items into the destination country. We are not responsible for any losses of items held or destroyed by customs. We will not refund or resend in such cases.

Hand Stamping

Each letter and design is stamped individually by hand on our items, therefore each piece is unique and the picture you see in the listing is only a representative example.

Due to the nature of stamping there may be variations in alignment, depth and spacing of letters, each letter will not be perfectly even. Please note it is likely that there will be marks and 'bumps' on the reverse of the item, this is unfortunately unavoidable as during the stamping process metal is displaced rather than removed. This is not a defect in your piece, but makes it even more unique.

Errors

Please do contact us straight away if you receive your order and it is incorrectly spelled/ worded or not the item you ordered and we will work with you to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

Please remember are only responsible for a misspelled item if the fault is ours. We can not be held responsible for errors made by buyer - please thoroughly check that you have given personalised and customised details correctly and EXACTLY written as you wish them to appear. We will not correct incorrect capitalisation, punctuation, grammar, spelling or miswording.

Production and Delivery times

All items are made to order please allow the time stated on the listing to produce, finish and wrap your item BEFORE it is posted. Sometimes we can rush items please contact us if you require this service before ordering. Charges may apply.

If you need your item for a specific date please allow good time and let us know before ordering. Although we usually cannot guarantee delivery we will be able to advise the best method of postage to give you the best chance to receiving your order.

Please note delivery times given by Etsy and on the Royal Mail website are estimated and they do not allow for time in customs or postal delays in the production and destination country and should not be relied on as a firm delivery date.

Postage and Shipping Charges
