Art Policies
Returns, Custom Orders, & Sculpture Care
Returns:
1. All sales are final.
2. If an item is damaged in shipping, please contact me for a replacement or refund. I require photos of the damage within 24 hours of delivery and will not refund or replace a sculpture without this. If you "fix" the piece Wicked FairyTale will be unable to refund any money or replace the piece.
Custom Orders:
1. All custom orders require full payment up front for any commissioned work under $250.
2. For pieces over $250, a minimum $250 deposit or 50% (whichever is more) will be required that is not refundable. Depending on the size and complexity of the piece, additional payments may be required. The item must be paid for in full within 7 days after completion or deposit will be forfeited and the item will be sold.
3. Any custom orders not canceled within 3 days of payment will forfeit payment (in the event they paid $25 deposit prior to January 1, 2015) or the ability cancel the order at all.
Sculpture Care
Please treat your sculpture carefully. As it is a clay piece (similar to ceramic etc) it cannot be submerged in water, have harsh cleaning agents or treated roughly. To dust, gently wipe with a cloth, taking care for any hand painted details.
Shipping
1. All orders over $40.00 are free in the United States.
2. All orders are shipped USPS with tracking, for international shippers there is only tracking available up until customs.
3. Please note, when Wicked FairyTale can, the package will be insured. However, some countries insurance is extra for the package and is very expensive and is not cost effective for my products. The option for the buyer to purchase international shipping insurance is OPTIONAL but assumes all risk to any item purchased without insurance. It is not feasible for the order the go through customs and possibly be handled by people other than the shipper and the buyer and have Wicked FairyTale be responsible for any damaged occurred. Therefore, if the buyer chooses to not purchase the optional international shipping insurance upgrade, there will be no refund in the event of damage to goods upon arrival.
4. For international buyers, please note in the shipping section above, if countries where items are to be shipped do not include insurance of the items in the postage, it is up to the buyer to purchase additional insurance or else the shop is not responsible for any damage to any items. In these cases, there will be no refund given as we can not be held liable for damage that could occur during customs.
5. For custom orders, all items will be completed in time to ship by the date quoted or earlier.
6. Wicked FairyTale is not responsible for stolen merchandise or packages. Please have your items shipped somewhere safe. If the USPS confirms that it was delivered, no refund will be given as it is not considered lost or damaged.
7. Orders are considered lost after six weeks have passed and will be replaced at that time. Please note if it was delivered, it is not considered lost.
8. Wicked FairyTale will ship all items within 3 business days of purchase.
