We reserve the right to refuse shipment if we think delivery to your address may be difficult. This guarantee does not apply if recipient neglects or refuses to pay customs fees & import taxes, neglects to retrieve an order held at a post office or distribution center, or if the order is not deliverable due to a wrong address.

If an order is canceled by the customer, the system may take about a week to actually show the refund on your bank records. It tends to be quicker if the cancellation and refund is initiated by our admin.

For defective or damaged goods, refunds may be requested. A photograph of the damage must be submitted within 7 days of delivery. For physical goods such as ceramic tea pots, a defect must be greater than 1 cm in length.

In some cases, it may not be clear whether there is a defect in the product. If so, you may return the product at your own expense for our evaluation. In such case, keep your receipt for the shipping cost. If the product is defective, we will credit you for the cost of shipping and the cost of the product.
