Shipping policy

1. Shipping Rates (Canada-Wide)

We use a Flat Rate shipping structure to ensure your pottery is packed safely without surprise costs.

  • How it works: Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your location.

  • Maritime Provinces: We offer discounted rates for our neighbours in NB, NS, and PEI.

  • Rest of Canada: We offer competitive flat rates to cover tracked shipping and reinforced packaging.

All orders are shipped via Canada Post and include a tracking number.

2. Free Local Pickup (Fredericton)

We offer a Free Local Pickup option for customers in the Fredericton area.

  • How it works: Select "Local Pickup" at checkout to skip shipping costs.

  • The Process: Please wait for a "Ready for Pickup" email from us (usually within 24 hours). We will arrange a convenient time and public location to hand off your package.

Returns & Refunds policy

We take immense pride in our packaging. Each piece is double-boxed and cushioned to withstand the journey. However, in the rare event of breakage:

You must email us within 24 hours of delivery.

  • Please send a photo of the broken item AND the shipping box to mmcbrid1@unb.ca.

  • Why so fast? Because we cannot verify if breakage occurred during shipping or after opening, if reported later.

  • The Resolution: Since postal insurance does not cover ceramic breakage, we cover it. If you report it within 24 hours with photos, we will send you a replacement (if available) or issue a store credit.

  • Claims made after 24 hours cannot be honoured.
