Domestic and International Shipping Rates

 

THERE IS NO SHIPPING CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, this is due to the astronomical price to have it shipped, as I look into reliable alternatives, this will change. FREE LOCAL PICKUP IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA IS AVAILABLE FOR ORIGINAL PAINTINGS. If you absolutely love a piece and would like it to be shipped, please get in touch and I'll see what I can arrange. I will get in contact with you after purchase to arrange pick up. Please get in touch if you have any questions around this.

Returns & Refunds

​

We do not accept a return based on change of mind however, if your item arrives damaged, I will replace it upon return of the damaged item. Please take a photo of the damaged product as well as a photo of the outer and inner packaging and immediately contact us. Further information will then be provided on where and how to return the damaged goods. All accessories are handmade and therefore some small imperfections may occur such as very small bubbles in the clay, slight variances in colour, small marks that do not affect the functionality of the piece or overall aesthetic. Returns will not be accepted on the basis of these small imperfections. 

If your clay accessories break within the first two weeks of receiving them due to a design flaw, I will be more than happy to replace them with another pair (if available) or a similar style of the same value, or provide a full refund (excluding postage costs). 

If you’re unhappy with your product for any other reason please let me know within 5 days of receiving it by contacting us so that we can try and rectify the issue. Refunds or exchanges will not be given after 5 days of receipt of an item. 

Please reach out to me via my contact page before returning any items to Lauren Repton Creates. Note that the cost to return an item is the responsibility of the buyer and delivery confirmation must be provided to us.
