Delivery Time

We aim to deliver all in-stock orders within 7–10 business days.

As a small team working with artisan-made pieces, timelines may vary slightly depending on availability and destination.

For preorder items, delivery will take longer.
Our team will contact you directly with an estimated shipping timeframe once your order is placed.

Changing Your Shipping Address

If you need to update your shipping address, please contact us as soon as possible with:

  • Your order number
  • The correct shipping details

Address changes can only be made before dispatch.
Once the parcel has been handed to the carrier, we are unable to modify the delivery details.


Lost or Stolen Packages

We take care in ensuring every order is prepared and dispatched accurately.
However, once a shipment leaves our facility, responsibility is transferred to the carrier under standard international shipping terms.

1. Transfer of Risk

All orders are shipped under FOB Origin (Free On Board) terms.
This means risk transfers to the customer once the package is collected by the carrier.


2. Carrier-Confirmed Delivery

If tracking confirms delivery to the provided address, the order is considered fulfilled.
We are not liable for loss or theft after this point.


3. Lost in Transit

If a shipment is lost before delivery is confirmed:

  • We will assist in filing a claim with the carrier
  • Refund or replacement is subject to the outcome of the carrier’s investigation

4. Post-Delivery Theft

We are not responsible for items stolen after confirmed delivery.

We recommend:

  • Using a secure delivery address
  • Opting for signature-on-delivery where available
  • Monitoring tracking updates closely

5. Customer Claims

Customers may lodge claims directly with the shipping carrier for:

  • Missing deliveries marked as delivered
  • Damaged or lost shipments

We are happy to provide supporting documentation where required.


6. Incorrect Shipping Information

Customers are responsible for ensuring all shipping details are accurate at checkout.
We are not liable for deliveries made to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided at the time of purchase.
