In accordance with our terms and conditions and current UK legislation, where an item is within 6 months of purchase and is repairable, then a repair will be carried out and the item delivered back to you.
Please be aware that items which have been damaged as a result of normal wear and tear, by accident, by poor unpacking, or your own misuse, will not be considered faulty. This does not affect your statutory rights.
You can also read our terms and conditions for more info.
16. I made a payment but not received an order confirmation We have security settings in our checkout process ensuring our payment provider declines payments where the CVC check fails, or where the postcode check fails. This is to protect us as well as all our customers from fraudulent payments.
Even if your bank is willing to approve the transaction, we won't honor the transaction if we are informed checks failed.
However, if your bank has already approved the transaction, even though our bank is declining it, you may see an approval from your bank on your bank statement. This is not a payment to us, and your bank should be able to confirm this for you. The approval will fall off your card statement in a few hours to a few days. The time this takes varies from bank to bank.
In summary, your bank has said this transaction is OK, our payment system said, no it's not (based upon a set of rules in place to protect us, their customer), so the payment was not taken. You are seeing your bank's approval, not a payment.
17. Where can I report a problem or give feedback? Please email lara@creatoncrafts.com and we will do our best to help!
Post-Brexit Trading Statement
Please be advised that our EU customers may experience local customs charges and will almost certainly be required to pay local VAT prior to receiving their deliveries if items are over €35 and not made in the EU.
Most of the products we sell are not manufactured in Britain or the EU.
Europeans no longer pay British VAT when they buy goods in the UK. Prices on our website for all international customers do not include VAT. Instead, VAT is imposed by the country of residence/delivery.
If you have any queries, please email us at [your email address].
