If you're a new customer, you might be a bit apprehensive about purchasing from a company and website new to you. Or perhaps you have some pre-purchase questions?
The information below should be helpful as you browse and buy on our website. But if you do have any questions, please get in touch with us.
DELIVERING YOUR POTTERY
Shipping
Timeframe
It may take up to 6-8 weeks for us to make a required pattern, often and usually sooner, if it happens that the pattern chosen is out of stock. Please bear with us.
All orders are executed with care and attention by our staff of potters, and all pieces are hand-made.
Shippers
Small orders will arrive by air-parcel post. Packages are delivered by postman to your door. Delivery takes 2-4 weeks once the parcel is shipped.
Larger orders are too big for air parcel post, and usually are shipped door to door via Federal Express.
Taxes & Duties
Duties and/or Value Added Tax/State Tax may vary from country to country and if levied, these charges will be borne solely by the purchaser.
Packaging
Packing Includes bubble wrap, boxing of pieces into an inner cardboard box, and placing the inner box into an outer, larger cardboard box- with shredded paper buffer.
DEALING WITH ISSUES
Returns
Variations
There will be variations due to the nature of the Earthworks creation process. Earthworks refuses liability for these variations. Sizes may vary slightly due to making process.
If a customer is dissatisfied, the pieces may be returned to Earthworks, well-packed and intact. In this event, the goods received being intact and unbroken, Earthworks will credit the purchaser with the amount of the marked/paid price of the goods. Cost of return freight is to be borne by the purchaser in this event, and if there are breakages in return transit, the cost of these will be borne by the purchaser.
Damages
If goods arrive from Earthworks to the purchaser's address with breakage, a digital image must be emailed to Earthworks before 7 days elapses. Shots should include the wrapping as opened, and boxes.
Broken pieces will be replaced free of charge, and will be shipped via air parcel post.
Disputes
Earthworks retains the right of cancelling an order and refunding the price of the goods, if it so decides, at any point in the transaction. All discretionary judgements by Earthworks, in the event of a dispute, are final.
