OUR SERVICE

Kcottagestudio creates thoughtful and carefully designed pieces and artwork. We specialise in home, wedding, business decorations and gifts. We’re all about high-end, unique products and unsurpassed customer service.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, if we deem him/her to be misusing our service, or using our service in an unlawful manner.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to make alterations to our service, products or prices, at any time, without notice or consequence.

ORDERS

Once you know which pieces you would like from our website, place them in your shopping cart by clicking the “Add to cart” button on each product you’d like to purchase. Once the products are in your cart you can begin our secure checkout process.

During checkout, you can create an Kcottagestudio account with us or checkout as a guest. Creating an account lets us get to know you better so we can make future orders much quicker for you. An account also allows you to keep track of your order history. 

During the checkout process we’ll also collect certain details for you (see our Privacy Policy for more information). We’ll ask for these details only when necessary to deliver our service to you. After your order is complete, you’ll receive a confirmation email from us. If you don’t receive this email, or if any details are incorrect, please contact us immediately.

PAYMENT

All prices in our store are listed in Singapore Dollars (SGD).

We use PayPal as a payment method on our website as it is one of the safest options available on the internet. Note that you don’t need a PayPal account to checkout and pay with PayPal. PayPal accepts all major credit and debit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and American Express.

We can’t be held responsible for any delays in payment clearance and we can’t ship orders until we have received payment in full. We also can’t promise the availability of your desired stock if payment doesn’t clear or can’t be made for any reason.

CANCELLATION

Please double check your order before finalising the checkout, because once your order is confirmed, we’re unable to accept cancellations. We’ll be happy to assist you in any way we can in the selection of your items.

POSTAGE

Kcottagestudio ships orders worldwide.

All of our products are made to order. Please allow one weeks for local order, and three weeks for international order to be completed, before postage, during non-peak periods.

Once your order has been shipped, Kcottagestudio cannot accept responsibility for loss or any damage to your package. Please note that Kcottagestudio can not be held responsible for postage delays for international orders that occur after your order has left our care. 

Shipping includes careful packaging of delicate items. Prices are determined by the size and packaging requirements of your order.

Please note that selecting Express Delivery ensures your order is send earlier, but does not mean production time in our studio will be faster. 

Courier Service

Kcottagestudio engages external courier service to deliver your item. All other items are check carefully before sending out. Do check your item for any breakage and reflect to the courier immediately.

If any item in your parcel was damaged during postage, do send us an image within 48 hour period after receiving your order. We can be contacted via email at kcottagestudio@gmail.com. Kindly include photographs of the damaged item in its original packaging and details of your item.

International Shipping

The above mentioned shipping times are just a guideline and in many cases your order will arrive sooner. However, we’re not responsible for delays in shipping times due to postage service delays or any other delays that stem directly from circumstances beyond our control.

Please allow the shipping time-frames stated above before contacting us about your order. Your order won’t be replaced before these shipping times have lapsed. If your order has not arrived after these times, please contact your shipping company with the tracking number you received when you placed your order. If they are unable to assist with your issue, please contact us at Kcottagestudio and we’ll do our best to help.

IMPORT DUTIES AND TAXES

If your order is to be shipped outside Singapore, we assume that you’re aware of any import duties or taxes that may apply in the country your order is being shipped to. Kcottagestudio will not be responsible for the payment of any such costs, nor will we be responsible for replacing goods that may be seized by customs in your country.

RETURNS, EXCHANGES AND REFUNDS

Kcottagestudio cannot take any responsibility for lost or damaged mail once it has left our care. We also don’t offer refunds or exchanges on personalised and custom orders.

Lots of love and care goes into packaging orders for shipment, and each item is inspected thoroughly before it’s sent.

If your item arrives damaged please contact us within 48 hours with your order number and photographs and descriptions of the damage exactly as they have arrived to you. We’ll assess damage on a case-by-case basis, and it’s at our discretion to determine whether an item can be returned and replaced or repaired on the basis of damage. Furthermore, we’ll refuse a damaged return if you haven’t sent us an email notification and appropriate corresponding photographs within the specified timeperiod after receiving your order.

Where repair or replacement is deemed necessary by our team, your initial item must be returned to us in an unused condition, including all original packaging. All return shipping costs are payable by the customer. We recommend that you carefully repackage your item to avoid any damage during delivery and consider using tracked or registered mail carrier to track your item for your own peace of mind.

Please retain proof of postage until we have confirmed your replacement has been processed.

We reserve the right to refuse returns if they don’t meet the conditions above.

Refunds and replacements will not be offered if the customer:

  • simply changes their mind
  • decides they do not like the purchase
  • decides they have no use for it
  • damages the goods by not handling carefully as per our Product Care, and/or mounting items securely to surfaces

Our Personalised Products and Custom Designs are made-to-order according to each customer’s specifications, so changes and requests for returns or re-makes where the customer has made a personalisation error or simply changed their mind are not possible. We understand that these things happen sometimes though, and where we can, we’ll try to help out with an affordable solution if we receive notification within time period specified above. 

If your order is incorrect for any reason, please contact us within 48 hours with your order number and photographs and descriptions of what you have received.
