          • What happens if my pottery arrives broken?   
            Pottery which is damaged upon arrival will be replaced as soon as possible, just take a photo of it and contact me. It will soon be on its way to you again.  Fortunately due to very good packing this issue does not happen very often!  

          • What is the approximate shipping time after my order is ready?
            Be-Ne-Lux: 2-3 business days
            Europe: 3-7 business days, depending on size of parcel.
            North America/ Canada: 10-16 business days. Larger orders take 3-4 days with FedEx.

            These shipping times might vary due to conditions outside my control.

          • What can you tell me about shipping costs?
            Ceramics are heavy goods. This is why shipping pottery may seem expensive compared to other products. My ceramics are made to last a lifetime and packed with utter care, so you will only invest in these costs once. Unless, of course, you decide later to expand your collection. I strive to offer you the best economical shipping option, always checking the latest shipping rates with different companies. Hoping for your understanding.

          • What happens if my parcel is lost? 
            Please send me a message as soon as you notice your parcel did not 'move' with its tracking code for an unusual amount of time - anything ranging from 7 to 20 days. I will refund your money or re-send you the pottery, as you wish.
            PLEASE NOTE that if you inform me later than 30 days after your parcel did not move I can not take any responsibility for the refund as my carrier insurance needs a case within a certain time frame in order to be able to investigate and potentially refund a part. 

          • Who is responsible for import taxes? 
            Buyers are responsible for any handling fees, custom- and import taxes that may apply.
