We make every effort to describe items accurately. We do not accept returns unless there are clear errors in the descriptions. Sales are final and we do not sell items for “approval”. In the event of an item being returned for the above reason, the buyer is responsible for postage costs and must insure the item. Should the item arrive in a damaged state (i.e.: not in the condition it was sold in), it is the buyer’s responsibility to claim with the postal service.

Postage for items is excluded from the item’s advertised price. Buyers will be given a total price including postage costs and postage options. We always endeavor to pack items to ensure a safe journey.

Please be aware that postage of “breakables” i.e.: ceramics and class and even spelter is not insurable via on items going to the USA via standard postal services. We always prefer to use a registered or signed-for service with insurance. We cannot be held responsible if items are not signed for or accepted buy the purchaser.

We recommend that all electrical items purchased from our site are thoroughly checked by a qualified electrician prior to use. The electrical items we stock may contain old electrical fittings from Europe and /or the USA. Therefore we will sell the items without plugs.
