Ordering, Delivery & Returns

Ordering

  • We endeavour to have all of our products in stock, however as many products are produced in small runs, occasionally something might not be available. In this event, please register your interest and we will inform you when back in stock.
  • Please note that our product images may not be to scale, please check dimensions. As many of our products are handmade, each piece is unique and there might be some variation in colour or finish. 
  • Credit and debit card payments are processed securely by Shopify Payments. We do not store or handle any card data for orders placed online.

Delivery charges

Within the UK:

  • FREE delivery for orders of £80 or over
  • For orders under £80 – a flat rate of £4.99 will be added to your order
  • Delivery time for most items within the UK mainland is 4-5 working days
  • Some items (e.g. bespoke items) may take longer, if so this will be communicated at the time of order

  • Unfortunately, we are unable to ship to EU countries right now.  We hope to reinstate this service soon.
  • Where goods are delivered to destinations outside the UK by Welsh Otter these may be subject to taxes, fees, levies or other charges, which are imposed by local legislation.

  • The recipient of the goods is responsible for all customs formalities at importation, and will be required to pay any additional charges, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges. The recipient of the goods, who may not be the person who has ordered them, will receive a separate request for payment of these charges.

  • As we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, we are sorry that we are not able to offer any assistance on these processes.  We would advise that you check the imports charges applicable before ordering goods. 

  • We’re sorry that we can’t deduct VAT when charging for goods.

  • If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.
  • As we are a very small business, at the moment we are sorry but we are unable to reimburse the postage or packaging cost for items returned to us, unless the return is due to the item arriving to you damaged or faulty.

Late or missing refunds

  • If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us.
