Wooditis's Shop Policies

Welcome

As a professional artist for over twenty-five years, I've been making custom furniture for people across the planet. I believe in simple, sturdy pieces that you shouldn't be afraid to use. My joinery and techniques are time tested, and the hand-rubbed finishes I use allow the wood to feel like it should - soft to the touch, yet durable to dings.

My ceramic work is an off-shoot from my furniture making - inlaid tile plays an important part in my designs. Since I'm a sushi fanatic, I specialize in making simple, smart sushi dinnerware. The glazes I use are mixed in my studio, and of course, they're microwave and dishwasher safe, and lead free.

Payment

I accept all forms of payment - PayPal is easiest and will allow your purchase to be shipped immediately. Luckily, I live just down the street from a post office branch that's open 24/7. (Remember- it's Las Vegas... everything stays open 24/7!) Unless I'm out of town, I usually ship the very same day of purchase.

Other forms of payment will have to clear the bank before any purchase will be shipped. This includes personal checks AND money orders.

Shipping

You know what my pet-peeve is? People who overcharge for shipping.

I'll make every attempt to use USPS Flat Rate boxes when shipping. I round up my fee to the next dollar, it just makes it more simple, and gives me a little extra for packing materials, printing labels, etc.

These Flat Rate boxes save you a ton, as there is no weight restriction. When something won't fit in one of these boxes, there are a few alternatives to keep the cost reasonable.

A good friend of mine retired from UPS and gave me the skinny on shipping. In a nutshell - if your package is less than five pounds, it's better to ship it using the good old post office. But if it's more than five pounds, UPS is best. So depending on what you buy, and how I pack/crate it, smaller packages will go out using one of those two services.

If you purchase one of my larger pieces, I will make a few calls and find the best shipping rate I can. Some of these options include UPS Freight, DHL, Con-Way Trucking and Greyhound Freight. The last one has been the least expensive way to go, but will require you to pick it up at your local Greyhound station, so you may need a truck on your end, if the item is large. Still, it's a HUGE savings.

Finally, I use recycled packing materials, including peanuts, bubble wrap and boxes in order to keep my shipping charges low. In the event that I run out of these materials (it happened last holiday season!), I'll have to start increasing the price of my shipping. I'll keep it fair, I promise.

Refunds and Exchanges

I want you to be happy with your purchase.

In the event that you decide something isn't up to snuff, please let me know immediately and I'll try to remedy it. Refunds will be cheerily given.... no, not really... but I want you to be happy.

So in the event of any dissatisfaction, once I receive the item in question, I'll refund the full purchase amount minus the shipping. All returns will be on your dime.

Additional Policies and FAQs

I am once again taking custom orders. I had to stop during the holiday season, but I'm back in the saddle again!

If you see something in my store, and you would like me to tweak the listing somehow - like add some plates, or take away a sake set, I will be glad to change it for you. I believe in buying what you need, not what someone tells you that you need! Please convo me and let's work something out!

I'm always looking for galleries to carry my work, and have great relationships with the many gallery owners who have carried my work over the years. If you have a shop and would like to carry my work, please convo me.
