1 out of 5 starsI ordered these earrings on November 26 as a Christmas gift to my mother and they still have not arrived, it is December 30th. The seller has no tracking number, however I was told is it could be due to the Royal Mail strike. Terrible. I will ask for a refund as I probably wont get them until well into the new year, or maybe not at all. Its being shipped to Canada, you'd think if products are being shipped world wide there would at least be a tracking number. Now its out of the seller's hands. I paid good money.

Hi Heidi, I'm terribly sorry the postal service were striking through December but strikes/delays are completely out of my hands. I am still so very sorry that it took so long for your earrings to arrive. Things like the postage strikes reflect badly on sole traders like myself, and can greatly reflect on how customers see my business, even though I work so hard to please my lovely customers and give them the best service possible. I'm pleased your earrings arrived safely. I had hoped that my discount and apologies had helped a little to compensate for the late delivery. My policies say if you'd like tracked postage you need to upgrade at the payment stage of your order. I post international standard to offer cost effective post prices for customers. Kind Regards, Katherine

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
All items in my shop are handmade, handmade items are very delicate and should be handled with great care.
How to clean your items-
- Hand wash them very gently with a soft damp sponge.
- For functional items e.g. a mug/fruit bowl (stated as non decorative), wash in the same way with a damp sponge and don’t leave to soak completely submerged to prolong its life and never wash in a dishwasher.
How long until I post your order?
I aim to post orders within 1-2 business days.
If it is a bank holiday I will post items on the next available working day.
Custom and personalised orders
Once discussed what you would like and payment has been made, I will make your order by hand the process involves -
*making the item, drying time 1-6 weeks (time of year dependent), bisque firing, glazing, glaze firing and finishing.
Once discussed please allow 6-8 weeks for creation to be finished, then allow for postage times.
Please message me to discuss your requirements. :)
Once item has been discussed and payment has been made, I do not accept cancellations, so please make sure you want the item before purchasing.
Shipping
To offer my customers good postage rates I send my products using 2nd Class Royal Mail Delivery Services, with delivery estimates of 3 days. For faster delivery upgrade your postage option at checkout.
Postage cost matches the compensation - up to £20, £50, or £500.
Due to fragile nature of ceramic items careful packaging is required to ensure safety of items during transit.
*Delivery charge = Postage cost + packaging materials cost
For other delivery options please message me.
I aim to post items within 2 working days of payment confirmation.
I always obtain proof of postage.
The buyer is responsible for any duty fees and/or taxes on International orders.
*** I no longer ship items to Germany because of the new packaging laws***
