Refund Policies

Once a plant leaves Petit Pottery, we can no longer care for the living plant/s that we spend each day caring for.

In the rare case that something happens to them during travel or after they arrive at destination, refunds cannot be provided. We provide easy care instructions for our cactus plant varieties, if you need any additional help let us know.

If you have any questions, concerns, or your item arrived other than expected, please contact us at mypetitpottery@gmail.com within 3 days of package delivery and we will do our best to resolve the issue during business hours Monday-Friday.

Shipping Policies

Sending in Australia

Petit Pottery ships items using Parcel Post through Australia Post which is typically delivered within 2-5 business days in the same state and 3-6 business days interstate (metro to metro). If you want to speed up delivery, please let us know and we can arrange that for you at an extra cost.

Damage During Shipping

In the rare case that a piece is damaged in transit, please take a photo of the damaged item and box and contact us at mypetitpottery@gmail.com within 24 hours. We are happy to replace any items that have been damaged due to our error as long as you contact us within 24 hours of receiving the item. Our items are one of kind and as such, we’ll have to organise an appropriate replacement from current and available stock.

We will respond to your message during business hours Monday-Friday.

Missing and Lost Packages

Most late parcels arrive within 5 business days of their expected delivery date. If the item hasn’t arrived within 10 business days of the expected delivery date, check out the Australia Post website for more information here. The person who placed the order or receiver is responsible for contacting Australia Post office about lost or late packages.

Plant Shipping

Packages should be opened and plants unpacked and assembled as quickly as possible. We recommend opening the package right away to allow for light, but they do not need to be assembled in the planter if you would like for the person you purchased this for to have the fun of assembling. Plants and planters should be assembled and watered within 5-7 days of ordering.

Plants and planters are shipped disassembled so that they do not shift while being shipped. Each comes with easy instructions for assembly and care. Please check your package for all pieces of your order.

Disclaimers

Handmade disclaimer

All of my products are individually handmade and are one of a kind creations. Even though I make every effort to create refined and flawless items, they may still have natural and unique imperfections.

Any item you purchase is one of a kind, there are no two items in my shop that are exactly the same.

Colour disclaimer

Actual colours may vary. This is due to different device screen settings, the lighting in the studio and the variance in the way everyone sees colours. We cannot guarantee that the colour you see accurately portrays the true colour of the product.

Gift orders

All of our orders are beautifully packaged and ready to be given as gifts. We are happy to include a gift message with your order! We will not include a receipt unless otherwise specified. Just let us know that the purchase is a gift and what message you would like to include in the notes section of your cart and we will hand write your message on a gift note!
