Returns Policy
If, for any reason, you are unhappy with your purchase from The Buckinghamshire Craft Guild and you wish to return the goods, you must inform us by email to info@buckinghamshirecraftguild.co.uk within 14 days of receipt of your purchase. Goods must then be returned within 14 days of receipt for a full refund or exchange, excluding any postage charges. If you are returning jewellery, the piece must be unworn and received in perfect condition in the original packaging. Any other work must be sent as received in the original packaging. We strongly recommend that you return your purchase fully insured through the Royal Mail Special Delivery service or international equivalent as we cannot accept any responsibility for any returned items that are lost or stolen. Upon receipt of the goods in accordance with the above, we will issue a full refund of the amount paid, or an exchange credit as required. We can only credit a refund to the original purchaser’s card.
If an item arrives damaged, please inform us by email to the above address within 3 days of receipt for a replacement or full refund.
Non-returnable items
For reasons of hygiene, earrings for pierced ears are absolutely non returnable.
We are also unable to extend our returns policy for individually commissioned items.
For example:
- Where a bangle, bracelet, ring or other has been specially made for you.
- Where necklace lengths are different to those offered.
- Personalised items with your name or special text on them.
However, in some circumstances and at the makers discretion, alterations may be possible but will incur extra costs.
If you wish to cancel your purchase
- You must notify us by email to info@buckinghamshirecraftguild.co.uk before we have dispatched the goods to you.
- Where goods have already been dispatched to you, by returning goods to us in accordance with the returns clause above.
Orders/commissions
Orders or commissions cannot be cancelled once payment has been made unless specifically by agreement with The Buckinghamshire Craft Guild. Once an order has been started by the maker, it is unlikely that a cancellation will be possible. However, if you email us as soon as possible after placing the order at info@buckinghamshirecraftguild.co.uk, we shall check with the maker to see if a cancellation is possible.
