Damaged or defective merchandise

I’ll always repair any damages due to production issues on my end at my discretion. Please note that due to the nature of materials, my products are fragile and should be handled with care. If upon reception of the product, you believe that it is not how it should be, you should immediately contact me via e-mail, indicating the product information and the defects found (please add a clear photo of the damage part and the whole product). Damages must be documented and reported within 5 days of receiving the order. All claims are to be written and official, referring to the relevant information, including your personal and product order information. In the event that this claim is admitted, the responsibility of Studio Laura Itkonen will be strictly limited to the replacement of the defective product at no extra charge, or the possibility of offering a refund for the cost of the order. Studio Laura Itkonen is not responsible for damages done by the transportation company.

Returns

If for some reason you are not satisfied with the item you have purchased, you can return your order within 14 days of delivery. All of the returned items must be in the same condition and in the original, undamaged packaging as they were when purchased. To begin the return process, please send me an email first to get more detailed information. All returns must always be sent with a tracking code and notified to me in advance. Returns can only be processed once the returned product has arrived back to me and its condition has been checked. Please notice that discounted or custom-made products can not be returned unless they are damaged or defective merchandise.

In the case of damaged or defective merchandise, I will try to replace these items with an identical, undamaged item. Please notice that some of my products are unique and producing exactly similar item can be impossible. To begin the return process, please send me an email within 5 days of receiving the order to get more information. I cannot accept returns due to slight color or size differentiations, due to the fact that products are individually handmade.

All returned products have to be properly repacked in their original packaging and in perfect conditions. In such case I will refund the sum paid, minus the costs of shipping. Refunds can be made after I receive the returned items. You are responsible for all costs of returning the goods. If the goods are not properly repacked and therefore cannot be resold as new, I reserve the right to apply a charge of 30% of the price you paid for the goods, which you agree I may discount from your refund for the goods. If the goods are damaged whilst in your care or if you fail to return all parts of the goods, I have the right to withhold payment of all or part of the refund in respect of the goods as compensation for our loss on these goods. Please notice that if the product has two or more separate parts, each part must be wrapped in its own silk paper to keep them intact from transport.

Unclaimed shipment

If the shipment has been delivered to a pick-up point, please take into account the limited storage time. Failure to pick up a shipment is not the same as returning or canceling an order. If the order is returned to Studio Laura Itkonen without being picked up, I will automatically refund the money for the ordered products, excl. the postage costs of the order and the costs arising from the return of the order.

I will not resend uncollected orders unless otherwise agreed. If you want to receive the ordered products again, you can place a new order through online store. A telephone number and / or e-mail address provided incorrectly by the subscriber may result in the arrival notification not being received and the order being returned to Studio Laura Itkonen as undisclosed. Studio Laura Itkonen is entitled to charge the costs of an uncollected shipment even if the arrival notification has not been received due to incomplete information provided by the subscriber or for other reasons beyond the company's control. So please check your contact details carefully when placing your order so that the arrival notification arrives.
