ORDERING

All products are subject to availability and may be withdrawn at any time. If your order cannot be fulfilled, you will be offered an alternative or given a full refund. The majority of our orders are packaged in Dartington branded boxes. We will take all care within our power to keep your order and payment details secure. In the unlikely event that your goods are lost in transit or arrive damaged, please notify us by emailing us an image of the broken item, along with your order number to [email protected] within 14 days of your original date of purchase.

PERSONALISATION

We offer a range of personalisation services, however as a company Dartington Crystal will not engrave any form of swearing or profanity as part of our personalisation service. We are not able to offer refunds or accept returns/exchanges on any personalised products, unless the item you receive is damaged or defective, or if there has been an error on our behalf. We provide our customers with various opportunities to check and confirm all personalisation and inputted information - Please check your order on screen and the confirmation email carefully as we cannot refund products which have been spelt incorrectly. When ordering via our online visualisation system all text must be within the blue boundary show on the image. Failure to do this will mean an error in your engraving for which Dartington crystal will not be liable. 

Due to the nature of some of our products, engraving may differ from the generated visualisation as these will be engraved by hand by our professional engraver.

FIRST QUALITY & SECOND QUALITY CRYSTAL

Crafting by hand is never perfect, because of this our first quality product can have up to 3 air bubbles and still pass our thorough quality inspection. Every glass is individually made so no glass is identical to the next. We have a range of tolerances within our quality inspection which are adhered to by the finishing teams. A certain proportion of our crystal will not pass this inspection and these are regarded as 'seconds' which may have larger or more frequent air bubbles, blemishes or an irregularity in thickness or shape. These imperfections are often difficult to spot and these pieces are perfectly functional without any cracks or chips.

EGIFT CARDS

eGift Cards values range from £10 to £500 and are available online at https://www.dartington.co.uk/gift-card
