1 out of 5 starsNo word for two weeks, sent a couple of messages to which I didn’t get a response so opened a case. Shop said they’d send the item, and the tracking info. This didn’t happen. Etsy refunded my cash. Very disappointing both because I didn’t get the cool thing I wanted and the customer service was terrible. I wouldn’t shop here.

1 out of 5 starsDisappointed. It must have been my spouse's Christmas gift. By inquiring for the purchase, no worries quick answers pleasant seller. Then more news for 3 weeks. A quick message telling me sent and that I would receive a tracking number. Never heard from it since. Seller not serious at all. Avoid.

The reason for this is because I have recently had an item "gone missing" in the USA. I then sent out a replacement which had also "gone missing". The customer that bought the item then opened up a dispute and had his money refunded, and I was charged another £14 by Etsy for Chargeback fees. All of this happened because "normal" international signed for does not provide tracking internationally, and Etsy did not recognise it as valid proof the items had been sent. Frustrating, i lost over £70 in postage costs, the sales costs of the items and fees, which is frustrating because I use my Etsy money to buy my materials for my craft projects and can now not buy any untill next month.
I hope you understand, thank you.

I get asked a lot if I'm available for doing one-off commission work. Yes I am, but I'd like to explain a few things about the process here.
Sculpting and making the mold of any of my pieces takes time, it can be as little as 6 hours, or as much as 40, depending on the item and the size of the item.
Making the mold can take as long as 1 or 2 days, again, depending on the item.
The costs of the sculpting material, mold rubber and casting material are added to the total initial cost of the item.
So, with that in mind the quote will consist of my hourly rate times the hours worked on the master&mold plus the costs of the materials.
The most commonly asked question I get after I have quoted on a custom one-off commission is the following:
Why are you charging so much for my one-off item when similar pieces in your shop are priced at a fraction of the price?
The answer is simple. I produce my pieces in runs, some as little as 50, others as large as 200. The initial costs of creating the pieces is spread out over all the pieces of the run, lowering the cost of each piece significantly - which in turn affects the retail price. If you request a one-off unique piece it will incur all the initial costs mentioned above into the one item, so will naturally be more expensive than a piece produced in a run.
Answers to other frequently asked questions:
I am not VAT registered because I am not currently required to do so. This may change in the future, depending on the growth of the company.
I do take commission orders from bands and organisations who are in need of small runs of merchandise such as badges or jewellery, depending on my availability to do so.
I currently do not make belt buckles because I lack a vital piece of equipment to do so. I am hoping to be able to invest in said equipment in 2014.
