Pellow Ceramics – CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Every piece is carefully handmade by Chris and Ian in their small home studio. As with all handcrafted items there may be slight variations in colour, size and finish from images and descriptions. Our pots are handmade and are more fragile than industrially manufactured work. We recommend handwashing our pieces, not putting them in the microwave and avoiding using the pieces with food or drink that heavily stains.

PAYMENT

All payments are made through PayPal or Square and can be made using all major debit and credit cards. Once your order is completed you should receive confirmation by email.

PACKING

All our packaging is as environmentally friendly as possible. We use tissue paper, newsprint offcuts and honeycomb cushioning paper for wrapping, and 100% bio-degradable packing peanuts. Our cardboard is recycled or recyclable and we use paper tape where possible. On the rare occasion where extra protection is required, we will re-use bubblewrap in which we received our supplies.

SHIPPING - EU - ** new**

We truly regret to no longer being able to offer our products to the EU and Northern Ireland.
You've probably seen many small businesses making the same decision. It is due to the new EU legislation surrounding product safety and the need to go through a registered responsible body for every piece sent to the EU and NI. This is just not a viable cost for small businesses who are sending one or two pieces at a time.

SHIPPING – Rest of the world

All purchases are sent by Royal Mail Tracked 48 or International Tracked and Signed. We currently ship to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Orders to the UK are usually delivered within 7 business days. International orders can take up to 15 business days, possibly longer depending on the circumstances. You should receive confirmation once your purchase has been despatched.

Please note: All contact and delivery information must be submitted accurately and in full to guarantee that your order is despatched to the correct address. On occasion we may need to be in touch for further contact details to ensure your parcel is delivered correctly.

If you’d rather come and collect your order please get in touch to arrange this, shipping costs can be refunded accordingly if this is organised.

There may be tax or customs charges on items shipped abroad. Pellow Ceramics cannot be held responsible for any additional duties charged to you by your country. Please keep in mind that you may need to pay customs fees upon pick up of your parcel.

Pellow Ceramics cannot be held responsible for unforeseen delays due to Covid-19, weather conditions, industrial action, busy holiday periods or customs delays.
