ABOUT SHIPPING, PICKUP AND DELIVERY
SHIPPING POLICIES:
We ship only within the United States.

Large orders may be shipped in multiple boxes and may require signature confirmation, you will be notified if this is required.
​
You are responsible for providing us an accurate and secure address for shipping deliver. If the item is returned by the shipping company, you will be responsible for any return fees and reshipment fees. The item will be reshipped after these costs are paid.
SHIPPING METHODS:
We currently ship using the US Post Office (USPS) and/or United Parcel Service (UPS). If you prefer shipping by a company other than these, please contact us in the form below to make the arrangements before placing your order.
Using USPS or UPS, you will receive notification by e-mail and a tracking number once item is picked up from our store. It is your responsibility to check on the status of your shipped product.
​
If your package is shown as "delivered" and you have not received it, please contact me ASAP. I will give you the info needed to research the location of your order.
Please contact me (below) if you have any questions on these policies.
ESTIMATED SHIPPING TIME:
Some of the items we offer are ready to ship. Others may need to be poured after getting the order. The product's description will give you an estimate of when you will receive it based on its stage of development.
​
Unusual weather conditions (rain, humidity, cold, etc.) can affect product manufacturing, completion, packaging, and transit time. Keep that in mind when ordering.
SHIPPING COSTS:
You will be responsible for any sales tax.
Some ceramics are double boxed for the best protection. Shipping costs are set to cover the following:
-
Postage
-
Boxes
-
Bubble wrap and peanuts

Other packing and shipping materials, as needed
PICK UP OR HAND DELIVERY:
Local delivery within the Birmingham, Ala. metropolitan area is available. You can also arrange to pick it up at our store in Trussville. Please contact us (below) to make these arrangements.

In these cases, we prefer to handle the transaction direct to you, instead of through this website.

You must not throw away any of the damaged item(s), boxes, or contents, including bubble wrap, etc. These items will need to be surrendered to the shipping company, so you must hold on to them until the claims process is finalized.
