DELIVERY

If you have selected our 'Standard Delivery' option, it is our aim to deliver to you within 5-7 working days of the receipt of your order. The ‘First Class’ option will be delivered to you within 1-2 working days. There is also an ‘Overnight’ service. Saturdays, Sundays and all bank holidays are classed as non-working days. All our delivery dates are estimates and we cannot guarantee specific deadlines. Please note, we cannot be held responsible for any third-party involvement where delays occur to deliveries. Please see our 'Delivery Terms' for full details.

We deliver to most postal areas in the UK including Northern Ireland plus a number of countries outside the UK including the Republic of Ireland. We're sorry that geographical location and carrier availability can restrict our service. Full details can be found in our ‘Delivery Terms’.

We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

Our products are shipped from the UK and sold on an unpaid Delivery Duty basis. With this in mind, please be aware that you, or whoever the lucky recipient might be, may have to pay Import Duty or a Formal Customs Entry Fee upon, or prior to, delivery. If you're unsure how this will affect the overall cost of your order, please check your Local Legislation rules.

 

RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

Our Returns policy

We want you to be delighted with your purchase but if you are not you can return any item within 30 days of receipt as long as it is unused and in its original packaging.
 
We will be happy to exchange the item for a replacement or to make a refund which will go onto the card which was used when you made your purchase. We are not able to refund any postage charges. Postage will be charged for sending any exchange items by post.
 
You have a right to cancel your order within seven working days of receiving your purchase. This seven day period begins the day after you receive the items from us. Please notify us in writing within seven working days that you wish to cancel your order and that you intend to return the item(s) and we will be happy to offer you a full refund including your original delivery charge.

How to return something

You can return an item as long as you have your receipt or delivery note. Please send your return by post. The delivery note that came with your parcel has clear instructions of how to do this. You need to complete the reverse side of the delivery note with the details of the items you are returning and enclose the note with your returned parcel. It would really help us in developing our products if you could give a reason why they were not suitable. Please let us know whether you require an exchange or a refund and always include a daytime telephone number and your email address in case we need to contact you about the return. If you no longer have your delivery note, please include a letter giving your name, address, customer number if possible, email address and daytime telephone number plus a note of what you are returning and why, and whether you want a refund or exchange for another product.
 
Make sure your items are securely wrapped and send your return to:    Returns Department, Unit 29 Kings Street Industrial Estate, Langtoft, Peterborough, Lincolnshire, PE6 9NF
 
Parcels are returned at your own cost, and we strongly recommend you obtain a free certificate of postage from the Post Office as we are responsible for your parcel only once it has been received into our warehouse. Items lost in transit will not be treated as returned.
 
We can also arrange for our courier company to collect the parcel from your home. You will need to be at home to hand over the parcel. There is a charge for this service.

Faulty items

We are always very disappointed on the rare occasions our customers receive a faulty item. If you have identified the fault within 30 days of purchase, please contact us and let us know the details of the fault. We can then let you know whether to return it or not and make sure other items are not affected. We will often ask you to email us a photograph of the fault as it's easier for you than posting it back to us. Should you need to return the item we will refund any postage on a faulty item, and ensure you are reimbursed for standard return postage on the item.
 
If a fault develops outside of the 30 day return period, contact us on 023 8044 0719 (Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm) or by email on customerservice@ceramic-gifts.com before you return the item so we can discuss the fault with you and agree the best way forward.

Please take extra care to read our Product Care Information Page or any specific care instructions provided with your purchase. We cannot accept an item returned as faulty if the appropriate product care instructions have not been followed and the damage caused to the product is clearly due to wear and tear or misuse.

How to arrange for an exchange

If the product you require is still available we will be happy to exchange it for you. If the new item you require costs less than the one you have returned we will refund you the difference. If it costs less than the one you have returned we will need to take an additional payment from you before we can send you the item. We will charge you standard postage and packaging unless you require a faster turnaround and let us know if you'd prefer an overnight service or first class service. Please make sure you give us a daytime telephone number or your email address so we can contact you.

Returns purchased from a show

If you have bought a product(s) from Juliet Reeves Designs Ltd at a show or fair, you can return your item(s) as long as you have your receipt or delivery note.

Please note that our seconds store offers our products at significantly reduced prices. As a consequence we are not able to accept returns on purchases made for seconds.

Returns bought from one of our stockists

Please get in touch with the stockist you purchased from (make sure you have your original receipt). They will let you know what their returns policy is. If you require a telephone number for a store please let us know.

Gift returns

An item that was received as a gift can be returned for an exchange or gift vouchers. An email will be sent to the person who made the original purchase when the exchange is completed. Refunds can only be made to the original credit or debit card on which the gift was purchased.

Returns timing

Once your parcel has been received by our team it can take up to 10 working days to fulfil your request. Returns are dealt with in the order in which they are received so returns sent by Recorded Delivery may reach us more quickly but do not progress more quickly through the process.
 
When we have dealt with your parcel we will confirm this to you by email, assuming you have given us your email address. Please remember that it can take three to four days after we have processed a refund payment for it to appear on your credit card statement.
 
If, after sending your return to us, you have not received our email confirmation within 10 working days, please contact us on 023 8044 0719 (Monday - Friday 9am to 5pm) so we can investigate.

Christmas returns

Any items purchased after November 1st as Christmas presents can be returned or exchanged up until 14th January.

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days from the day after the goods have been received without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods or, in the case of multiple goods under one order, when the last of the goods is similarly acquired.

We will then communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Effects of cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than - (a) 14 days from the day you return any goods supplied, or provide evidence that you have returned them, or (b) if there were no goods supplied,14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

We will pay the costs of a return if the products are faulty, mispicked or misdescribed; if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong. In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
