As you can imagine shipping your item(s) of this weight is expensive but very reliable. These terms are set out to protect you and must be followed. Your item(s) will be on a pallet. They will be wrapped in pallet wrap a (strong clear cling film) and strapped down with plastic banding. You must cut away the wrapping and check your items for any damage in transit. If there is any sign of breakage the pallet must be refused. Some small scratches can occur these will disappear with weather and guidance from your item(s) pdfs sent to you. Once you are happy your item is in good condition it can be signed for as clean. If any damage is noted after this, I will replace the item, but You will be responsible for any shipping cost and returning the damaged item(s) this can be very expensive and time consuming.
Terms and conditions of pallet delivery.
Your item(s) are heavy, and a pallet is required for the delivery. It is of the up most importance that you check your item(s) thoroughly before accepting the shipment! All drivers allow 15 minutes for a consignment to be checked if You/consignee considers it necessary.
If you notice any damage then you must, either refuse the pallet or ask that the driver notes damages on the POD if you are willing to accept the pallet.
You/consignee must then report the damage to me immediately, so I can make the necessary arrangements.
Please be advised that a consignment being signed for as ‘clean’ counteracts any claim of damages or missing product.
In the vary unlikely event your item(s) are damaged the pallet will be returned to me, you will be offered a refund or replacement. But this is voided if you accept the item and sign for them as clean.
Returns policy
I accept returns in the original packaging or packaging that will stop it getting broken which must be a very thick strong standard. The item(s) will be checked on return before a refund is issued.
About us
We are a family run business since 1994. Between me and my dad we have manufactured hundreds of thousands of Traditional Cotswold Stoneware items. From tiny staddle stones smaller than a 50p though to Troughs so big they had to be made on sight weighing 8 tons. We take great pride and Joy in the care of making something for others to enjoy! Are workshop is totally off grid. All electric comes from solar panels and all are water is filtered rain water from are roof. We have no grid connections at all.
Crafted Uniquely
Are products are made to last and if you have ever been to the Cotswolds you probably will have seen something we have made.
The finish is unique it's not smooth like cast concrete. When Cast stone gets damaged its awful and really needs to go to the tip! This finish has a proper stone effect with a porous nature so ages the same way as natural stone, Dents, Scratches and even some damage can actually enhance the products as it ages.
