Shipping times

In normal circumstances, all the couriers we use deliver when expected, however, please note that we can not guarantee delivery times, only to dispatch on time with the chosen delivery method.

The closest to guaranteeing a delivery time is with a dedicated door to door service which is charged by the mile. Any delivery method may be subject to weather, traffic, and other unforeseen circumstances.

• If you order is for a very urgent, or time sensitive event for example, we would always reccomend a dedicated delivery. 
  
  
  When you check out you will be presented with a range of delivery options - depending on the size of the items you have ordered. The following shipping times are in addition to the dispatch times quoted above.
  
  
• Standard Courier - Normally TNT - Next working day.
• Standard Courier Large - Parcelforce - 2 working days.
• Pallet delivery - Next working day.
• Door to door delivery - Priced by the mile - please call for more info.

Please note that pallet deliveries are "Kerb-side" which means that the driver is not obliged to bring the palelt into the building. They will normally bring it in if you have a large roller door for example, but they will not unpack a pallet and carry it in, and certainly not upstairs. 

Returns

We must be contacted prior to the return of any goods regardless of circumstances If a product is defective we need to know within 3 days of receipt. We will replace any items that were delivered damaged free of charge.

We are TRADE ONLY - Our products are made to order, so we can not accept any returns unless the items are faulty, or not as described.

Intended use of products / Health and safety information:

General We sell products to a diverse market, so to know the suitability of our products for every end user would be impossible. In general, it is important to note that unless explicitly stated or agreed, ALL of our products are intended as display props, and not intended for interaction. They are not to be climbed on or roughly handled.  Where interaction is likely, please ensure we know prior to ordering, as there are steps and options to mitigate / reduce any potential damage.  Our polystyrene letters, for example, are very popular for events and graduations etc.. Raw polystyrene letters would get chipped and look tatty very quickly .   We recommend at a minimum these are coated with idenden, which makes them stronger and more resistant to fire. With this coating, the letters would normally stand up well to people posing with them and takign photos for a few days / occasions.   If the letters are intended to be used year after year, then we may suggest that our 3d wooden letters are a better option.   Our products are by default intended for indoor use.  Many of our products can be used outside without the weather adversely effecting them. It is important however to let us know if you intend to use them outside, as we may need to slightly adjust the manufacture of them.  Below is information which is intended as a guide, but It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that EPS is suitable for their needs. EPS : Expanded Polystyrene Products.   Our EPS products are mainly intended for Display / Decoration / Craft. NONE of our products are intended as toys. ALL the EPS we use contains a flame retarding additive. All EPS products should be kept well away from hot lights / naked flames or any other source of ignition. The EPS products are not sterile, and ARE NOT sold as "Food Safe". You should avoid any food that is to be consumed coming into contact with the EPS. None of our products are suitable for small children. If EPS is broken / bitten, then small pieces can break off which can be a choking hazard. If you are painting the EPS, you should only use water based paints and adhesives. Solvent based products can attack the polystyrene. When using any product on EPS, always ensure that it is suitable, and follow any safety instructions specific to the product. It is a good idea to try a small piece of EPS first, and check it an hours or so later to make sure there is no reaction. Emulsion paint, poster paint, PVA glue and LOW MELT craft glue guns are normally fine. Safety information on any of our specific products is available on request. Clear plastic balls & Shapes. Intended for display / decorative use. Not sold as sterile / Food safe. Not suitable for young children, as if broken, can form sharp pieces. Glitter Non Toxic. Not considered a fire hazard. Not suitable for young children, as may present a choking hazard. Suspending items. If you plan to suspend / hang any of the products, please contact the studio for further advice. We can supply certified safe hanging points - fitted to large balls / letters and other products. Risk Assessment. We do not install or carry our site visits. It is the customers responsibility to ensure that where necessary,  a risk assessment is undertaken, and that the products are safe / suitable to use in the way intended way.  We can supply material specifications to aid this.
