Buying

What forms of payment does Artisan Needlework accept?

We are accepting payment with Paypal and Stripe. All credit cards used for payment must have a valid billing address.

Are my payments secure?

All orders are encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology on both your end and ours. SSL encrypts all of your personal information including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. In order for SSL to work, you must use an SSL-enabled browser.

 

For your own safety we do not save any payment information. Payments are made directly through Stripe or Paypal—certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level of certification, so we can guarantee that important information stays confidential and private.

Cancelling an Order

Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations, you have up to 7 working days after you have received your delivery to cancel your order (other than in respect of goods made to your specification or clearly personalised goods). Any delivery charges will be refunded, however, if only part of your order is cancelled, the delivery charge will not be refunded.

How do I check the status of an order?

In “My orders” you can see the progress of all of them. Once delivered, you will receive more information on how to track the package and when it will arrive.

 

To check the status of your sale, hover over your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. Click it and choose ‘Orders’ in your dashboard, which is a page of all your active and previous orders.

 

If on the right hand side of the listing title the icon is Orange, it means that the item has not shipped yet. You will receive a shipping confirmation email when the tracking number has been put into the system and your order receipt with your dashboard will provide the info for you to track the shipment.

Shipping & Return

What is the returns policy?

We give 14 days no fuss returns. Simply let us know before you return, as we can then be available to collect the return delivery. We’ll supply you with all the details. Please return everything unused in it’s original packaging. We recommend using tracked delivery so both parties are sure where and when the parcel is delivered. Refunds will be issued when we have received and checked the goods. If the product is not in fully saleable condition or the packaging is damaged, I reserve the right to refuse a refund.

 

Refunds will be processed to the original payment card or to your Paypal account.

 

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable)
Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error
Any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery
