Ordering & Returns

Lead Time

There is a standard 10 day lead time on all orders, we are currently shipping 98% of orders between 2/4 days. If you should require your order within 10 days, pleases contact us before placing the order. In most cases we will be able to accommodate your request. Please ensure you highlight your request by again repeating it in the ‘Order Instructions/Comments’ box at ‘checkout’.

During peak times The Crafty Giraffe may have to extend the lead time to a more realistic time based solely on demand. If a lead time is changed, we will annotate the current lead time (with the date and time of writing) on all product descriptions affected. All orders placed before, unless pre notified by us, will not be affected.

Placing your order

When you place an order with us (choosing an item and completing our online checkout process), we will send you an acknowledgement by email. This will list the products you have ordered. Please note that your completion of the online checkout process does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Our acceptance of your order only takes place when we despatch it. A ‘purchase contract’ between you and www.thecraftygiraffe.co.uk is therefore made at the point of despatch, rather than at the point of payment. If you have cancelled your order, or if we notify you that we cannot accept your order, then no purchase contract will have been made.

Personalised products

We aim to provide a high-quality service, all customer orders we receive are placed in a queue linked with our order numbers, and are produced on a first come first serve basis, subject to stock availability. Due to the nature of our personalised service, some orders may be placed on hold due to a verification requirement by you. All verifications will receive a ‘manual verification required’ email; this email will require you to approve a design before we can continue with your order to manufacture. Failure to respond to this or any other communication sent by us may result in your order arriving outside our lead time. The Crafty Giraffe cannot be held responsible in such cases, providing we show evidence that we have communicated to the contact information provided by you at ‘checkout’.

Please double-check your order on screen and your acknowledgement email carefully to check that all the details entered are correct. We cannot refund items where the personalisation has been mis-typed or mis-spelt due to an error made by you. You can only make changes to your order whilst its status on your ‘Order Status’ located in ‘My Account’ is marked as ‘Awaiting Fulfilment’, changes to your order can be made by contacting us via email; admin@thecraftygraffe.co.uk

All order personalisation will be processed exactly as entered, it will only be adjusted to conform with the product design. For example...

If the design text is in full capitals:

The Crafty Giraffe would be adjusted - THE CRAFTY GIRAFFE

If the design date has a defined format:

00/00/0000 or 00-00-00 would be adjusted - 00.00.00
