\n\t\tIMPORTANT INFORMATIONS\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tDELIVERY\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tMetalclay-Shop delivers worldwide. We work with a few different delivery providers to do this. Here you\u2019ll find important information about dispatch and delivery.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tShipping to the EU\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tWe ship from Luxembourg to many countries in the European Union (EU), with a few exceptions. There are no additional costs apart from the delivery charge.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tShipping to UK\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tDeliveries to the United Kingdom are made via FedEx on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis. This means you will not be charged any additional costs upon delivery. The minimum value of your order must exceed \u00a3135 for this delivery arrangement to apply. \t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tShipping to all other countries\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tDelivery is carried out by DHL Express or FedEx. Additional costs will be applied, which are not included in the purchase price. These include, in particular, import VAT, customs duties and any clearance and handling charges. These costs are incurred by the recipient\u2019s country and must be borne by the recipient.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tCustomers from Switzerland\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swiss customers can have their order sent to an address near the border, e.g. via grenzpaket.ch, colisexpat.com, etc. Please remember to take out additional insurance for your parcel, as our liability ends upon delivery to the parcel shop or service provider.

The billing address must be your home address and not the delivery address. No changes can be made once the order has been placed. Please pay by bank transfer or credit card. If you do, however, use PayPal, we will invoice you for these fees retrospectively.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n
\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tShipping rates\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tWe offer various delivery options, which differ in terms of price and speed: ECONOMY, PRIORITY and PREMIUM. The table below provides an overview of the delivery charges. Surcharges may apply for heavier items or deliveries to remote areas.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\tFURTHER DELIVERY GUIDELINES\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tThe following information will help you to better understand our delivery charges and know how to respond if any issues arise.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tWhy do I have to pay delivery charges?\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tEvery order must be carefully packed and delivered to you reliably. This involves packaging materials, delivery providers and staff. We want to offer our products at fair prices rather than including a flat-rate delivery charge in the product prices. This means you only pay for your order and the actual delivery costs \u2013 it\u2019s transparent and easy to understand.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tAdditional fees\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tDHL Express and other delivery providers charge a surcharge for deliveries to so-called \u2018remote areas\u2019. The relevant postcodes are sometimes automatically identified in our shop for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Greece. Changes may occur at any time. In such cases, we only become aware of this when creating the dispatch label. We will then contact you straight away to ask whether you would like to pay the surcharge, choose a different delivery method or cancel the order. You can view the current list from DHL Express here<\/a> Download\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tDelivery by freight company\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tLarge stoves are dispatched via a haulage company. Prices are calculated based on the delivery address. Please contact us if necessary before placing your order.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tShipping to a parcel collection point\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Delivery to a parcel collection point is a convenient way to receive your order quickly and securely. Please ensure that your chosen delivery provider supports delivery to your chosen parcel collection point and that you enter all the necessary details for the collection point correctly. We will not be able to amend these details at a later date.

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tPickup in the shop\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have our own premises where we hold our courses and workshops. However, as our product range is very extensive, we do not use these premises as a shop.

If you would prefer to collect your order \u2013 such as a kiln, for example \u2013 in person, please arrange an appointment with us in advance so that we can prepare the items you require and have them ready for you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n
\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tRETURNING GOODS\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tYou may cancel the purchase contract within 14 days of receiving the goods. Please use the relevant button on our website to do so and refer to our Terms and Conditions. The cost of returning the goods is payable by the buyer.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tWHERE IS MY ORDER?\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tYou can track your parcel at any time using the tracking number. To do so, simply use the link we sent you by email, or the one available in the customer area of the shop.\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tAccording to the status, the parcel has been delivered\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the tracking information shows your parcel as \u2018Delivered\u2019 but you haven\u2019t received it, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it has been stolen or lost.

1. Check the delivery address<\/strong>
Please check your order confirmation or the customer portal to ensure that the delivery address is correct.

2. Check your letterbox<\/strong>
Some of our parcels fit into a standard letterbox. That\u2019s why they\u2019re often delivered this way, rather than the postman ringing your doorbell and handing them to you in person.

3. Ask members of your household or neighbours<\/strong>
Sometimes another person in your household or in the neighbourhood will accept your parcel if the delivery driver didn\u2019t find you at home. Ask if anyone has taken delivery of your parcel.

4. Check the area around the delivery point<\/strong>
The parcel may have been left at a \u2018safe\u2019 location. Depending on the courier service, you may have specified such a location some time ago, and the delivery driver may still be using it.

6. Wait<\/strong>
In some cases, parcels are already marked as delivered even though they have not yet been delivered. There may well be a delay of 1\u20132 days.

6. Checking with the shipping company<\/strong>
Get in touch with the courier. The courier handling your order will have the most reliable information.

7. Contact us<\/strong>
If, despite our best efforts, you do not receive your parcel within 30 days, please get in touch with us. We will do our best to arrange for the courier company to investigate the matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tThe shipment does not arrive\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Parcels can go missing. Unfortunately, this is very frustrating as it always involves a loss of time and money.

However, most service providers only consider it a loss if the transit time exceeds 30 days. We can confirm this from experience: for reasons beyond our understanding, some parcels simply take much longer than average to arrive.

If your parcel has been in transit for more than 14 days, please get in touch with us. We will launch an enquiry. A replacement or a refund will be issued after 30 days.

If your parcel is indeed deemed lost, we will either issue you with a credit note or refund your money. We cannot resend orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tThe parcel could not be delivered\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your parcel has been marked as undeliverable, please check the reason:

1. Is the address correct? Is there a clearly visible house number on the building that the postman can easily find?
2. Does the name on the order match the name on the doorbell or letterbox?
3. Was the parcel perhaps dropped off at a parcel shop but not collected?
4. Did anyone refuse to accept the parcel?

Please get in touch with the transport company as soon as possible to obtain further information.

We will charge the return costs for a parcel that cannot be delivered if this is due to the customer\u2019s own fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tParcel arrives damaged\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, even careful packaging of the goods cannot always guarantee that your order will arrive undamaged. If your order arrives damaged, please contact Metalclay Shop customer services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
