How it is packed

Every piece is wrapped in kraft paper and boxed with a corrugated cardboard divider, so rims do not knock against each other in transit. There is no plastic foam and no printed insert beyond the packing slip. The box and paper can go in your recycling.

Damaged in transit

Steel does not break in the post, but enamel can chip and a bowl can dent if a parcel is crushed. If anything arrives chipped, dented or with the box badly damaged, email a photograph of the piece and the box to info@aldorven.com within 14 days of delivery. We send a replacement or refund it, whichever you prefer.

Tracking

Every order ships with tracking. You will receive a dispatch email with the tracking number when the parcel leaves us. Tracking can take up to 48 hours to show its first scan — that is normal and does not mean the parcel is lost.

If tracking has not moved for seven business days, email info@aldorven.com with your order number and we will chase the carrier.

Customs, duty and import tax

Prices on this site do not include import duty or local tax. Where these apply they are charged by your own customs authority, usually before the parcel is released, and they are your responsibility.

We declare every parcel honestly, at the price paid, with an accurate description of the contents. We will not mark an order as a gift or understate its value.

If a parcel is refused at customs and returned to us, we refund the goods but not the outbound shipping.

Addresses

We ship to the address given at checkout exactly as entered. Check it before you pay. If an order has not shipped we can change the address — email us with the order number. Once it is with the carrier we cannot.

Parcels returned to us as undeliverable because of an incorrect or incomplete address are refunded less the outbound shipping cost.
