Additional Policies and FAQs

ORDERS

I de-list sold items from our site as soon as possible, but it in the rare instance that an item has sold elsewhere just before you make your order, it may not be possible to accept your order (many of our products are one of a kind, or produced in small quantities from limited amounts of materials) or to fulfil your order within the usual timescale (for instance, if a really large order has reduced stock levels).

In this case, I will get in touch to see if you would like a similar, substitute item (if available, for one of a kind or short run products) or would like to wait for new stock to come in (for supplies and materials).

It is also possible that we may not be able to accept an order for a customised item if we don't have a making slot and could not produce it in time before the date you require it.
