How Do I Place An Order To Buy Woodcrafts?
Firstly, you’ll need to decide which of our handcrafted wood pieces you want to buy? Many of our wooden pieces are available in stock and you can order straight off the site but If you are looking to buy a handcrafted wooden piece or bespoke engraved piece that is a total one off, then just get in touch. If you are looking to buy one of our off-the-shelf wooden pieces, it’s easy. Just click on the add to cart or buy button on any of our off-the-shelf individual woodcraft products or follow the simple instructions to get in touch to create your own bespoke wooden piece.
What If The Wooden Piece I Want Is Out Of Stock?
If you see a handmade wooden piece on our site you like and it doesn’t appear to be available, just drop us a line. We can recreate a wooden handicraft piece or produce a wooden piece to your exact specifications. Your handmade wooden piece can be created using the design, wood, colours, stains, oils, fixings and dimensions you want. We can personalise your piece too with bespoke engraving.
Can I Return A Bespoke Or Personalised Handcrafted Piece?
When we create a bespoke stone or wooden piece, we work closely with our clients and strive to exceed expectations. By virtue of the fact a bespoke piece will be totally unique and built to agreed specifications often bearing personalised detail, no refunds or exchanges will be given on bespoke orders unless there is a manufacturing defect or the piece arrives damaged through transit.
What About The Raw Materials You Use?
We upcycle wherever possible and our craftsmen love to use aged wood. Because our wooden products and stone products are made from natural, recycled resources and may display natural characteristics and other irregularities, which are not manufacturing faults.

The reclaimed timber we use has certain natural characteristics such as shrinkage, swelling, hairline cracks and minor movement due to changes in temperature and humidity. These may appear and disappear with the changing weather conditions. This will not affect the durability, serviceability or lifespan of your wooden creation such as furniture and movement within wood is completely normal.

Natural movements within wood are not manufacturing defects and are therefore not covered under this returns policy.

We pride ourselves on creating high-quality wooden products as well as providing exceptional service, so if you are not happy with your purchase for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Can I Add A Gift Note?
We are more than happy to add a personalised gift note to any order with a custom message (£2). You can find this option on our product pages. Simply write your message in the box provided and the gift note will be placed in your order. We can even engrave a message on wood or slate for you. Please get in touch.
Can I Change My Address On An Order?
If you notice a mistake with your address you must email us at hello@artfactory.co.uk to amend the detail immediately. After an hour, it is possible that your order has been fulfilled if you have chosen an item we hold in stock.

If you provide an incorrect address and the courier is unable to deliver, we will not be able to send out a replacement product. Please get in touch with us to arrange a solution. Please always ensure the address you provide is correct when placing your order.

Likewise, if a carrier attempts delivery of a wooden piece more than three times and you are not in to receive this, it could be returned to sender. At this point we will not be able to resend it free of charge. Please contact us in the event there is a problem with your delivery.
