Packaging
The shipping and handling also includes the materials (ie - box, packing tape, etc) that I need to actually ship the item. The cardboard, plastic and bubble wrap I use to wrap are usually from recycled materials from my neighbours' businesses.
I normally post to the UK using 2nd class recorded, for quantity or larger items I use a signed for courier service to the address that you provide here on Etsy. If you need me to ship to another address, please let me know.
If you need a faster form of delivery e.g. first class, just let me know, just a pound more usually.
International Buyers
Shipping can take 3-10 business days, depending on the country. I send all items on at least a 'tracked' service so your correct delivery address is important along with a tel number for the label (driver cannot find you etc)
I can also send by 'signed for' on request.
Sometimes packages can also get held up in customs at your end. Please take this into consideration when placing your order.

Custom Order - It is not possible to refund on custom orders but i feel confident and my reviews/comments reflect this from over 12 years of trading online that you will be satisfied'

All pieces are created by hand, so no two items are identical. That is the unique quality of my work. Please allow for slight variations from what is shown.
Additional Policies and FAQ
I have a fully equipped workshop and supplies of steel, copper, timbers-mostly oak, Trespa cladding etc etc with bandsaws, saws, sanders, welder, routers to name a few so welcome any special requests or design ideas. Can also ship furniture and larger signage worldwide.
Sizes mentioned e.g. 3"/75mm refer to the height of the character
Designed to be maintenance free - the limed oak is exterior grade wood
The polished copper is coated with marine quality lacquer - the patinated copper is left 'as is' and should improve with time and humidity

Very pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately don’t really do the job intended more like coat hooks than hat hooks

These shoes are amazing!! So quirky, they far exceeded my expectations and I’m really pleased with them. A little slower on completion than stated but understandable due to the current situation. Extremely speedy postal delivery, can’t wait to get them up on the wall!!

No communication with seller that worried me, but the product arrived beautifully packed on the exact day it said it would! The shoes are genuine and have obviously been worn (how cool would it be if you knew which horse wore the shoes) and are all slightly different which I love, but may not be to everyones taste. So pleased with this product, will probs be getting more!
