As all of our products are hand made to order any ‘Product’ and shipping cost must be received in full before any item will go into production. This production process is dependent on product ordered due to variables such as but not limited to, size, complexity of construction, current order volumes, availability of component materials, etc. We will however usually note general production and dispatch times of each product at point of sale but please note these are guidelines for production only and dispatch times may vary slightly from time to time.
Products are Quality checked prior to packing and dispatch however should you ever be unsatisfied with any of our product range please see section 2 (‘Damage Return and Repair/Replacement Policy’)
Shipping of all of our product is only ever done through noted and registered shipping channels and organisations as well as being fully tracked and insured along their journey until they reach you the ‘Buyer’
