Orders are normally shipped in 36 – 48 hours unless the order is deemed a special order.
Your order may not be deemed cancellable if it has left our premises, in which case the cost of return of the order shall be met by the purchaser. In this case the goods must be returned unopened in the original packaging before a refund will be issued.
If upon receipt of your goods you decide they are not for you then please contact us by phone 07547 870428 or by E-mail to sales@terracottaworld.co.uk stating the reason/s why you are unhappy with your order. If you wish to return your order you may do so within 28 days of receipt for a full refund of the cost of the goods excluding your shipping costs.
If your goods arrive damaged then contact us asap and we will take up the matter with the couriers. Although we try our hardest to package goods to the best possible standard, NO responsibility is accepted for any goods damaged on an international delivery. All deliveries internationally are on the basis of Incoterms CPT (carriage paid to), our responsibility for the state of the goods ends when they leave our premisies, if you wish to protect your purchase it is up to the buyer to arrange Goods in Transit insurance. All international orders are on the basis of Incoterm DDU (delivered duty unpaid) so the courier or shipping agent will contact you to collect any excise duty or tax due when your product enters your country.
If you have placed a trade order at a discounted price and some of your product is damaged upon arrival, a refund will be given for the goods and no replacement items will be sent, in accordance with distance selling regulations.
We will not be held responsible for circumstances beyond our control, such as problems with manufacture, shipping delays and other unforseen port or handling problems in foreign lands. We will not be held responsible for damage to cargo by container loading mis-handling or other third party negligence. We are not responsible for problems with manufacturers products especially where the goods do not meet the expectations of the client or ourselves. For deliveries of parcels and pallets, risk of loss transfers to the buyer once an article has been delivered. No compensation of any amount will be payable for goods stolen from customers premises once a package has deemed to have been delivered by the courier or pallet carrier.
We strive to bring you the best products at a reasonable price at all times and fully realise that defects do occasionally occur but as we only sell what others produce, it is not possible or cost effective to test every single article that leaves our premises and leave the quality control to the producers. Clay is a natural product so sizes, shapes and colours of the products can vary, water content of the clay can make the finished product vary in size by up to +/-5%, please be aware of this.
Special Orders / Damages for non stock items
If you require an item that is not normally stocked by us then this will be deemed to be a special order. A non-refundable deposit of 10-20% will need to be paid before the order can be processed if the order value is over £1000, full payment will be required if order value is less than £1000, this is to cover our costs in part for ordering from the supplier and transport costs. All special orders need to be paid by BACS unless agreed in advance. We reserve the right to vary the cost of the item ordered if unforseen costs are incurred such as Peak Season Shipping Supplements or if haulage or container costs increase beyond what can be absorbed within normal trading conditions. It may also be necessary to vary prices due to changes in the exchange rate due to currency fluctuations. Once a special order has arrived at our depot payment must be made within 14 days or goods and deposit will be forfeited. If you are not happy with your special order we regret that it cannot be returned to either us or our supplier. It is assumed that a buyer has read and understands the terms and conditions of buying from us for a special order of goods if this has been done without use of the website.
If any special order arrives damaged or broken, it may only be possible to refund for the damage and not replace, especially where an order has been shipped from a distant destination.
