Terms & Conditions
Product orders
Some of the marionettes displayed on our site are currently available for purchase, some of them are not. If a product is not in stock, we will inform you immediately how long it will take to create it. Please, understand that these are original, hand-made works of art and it may take from 48 hours to 3 weeks to create your piece.
After your payment has been processed, you will get a message with the shipping date.
If the ordered puppets are in stock, they are usually shipped within a couple of days.
Important note: All puppets orders are final and binding. Due to the fact that work on a puppet starts immediately upon receiving payment, no puppet order can be canceled for whatever reason.
Shipping
Shipping charges for all items depend upon the weight, the shipping option and the final destination. There are three shipping options – Express delivery, Air Mail and Economy way. For larger orders we recommend Economy because it is much cheaper. On the other hand, Airmail is much faster. Please contact us with inquires regarding sending parcels internationally.
Shipping prices are automatically calculated in Economy shipping. If you prefer a faster option, let us know.
We ship internationally and will send packages anywhere close or far away. All puppets and marionettes are shipped by insured registered mail. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Delivery term
The goods will be given to the Dispatch Department within 2-3 days after the payment is credited to our bank account. We reserve the right to keep a longer delivery term in the case of originals. In this case the customer will be notified about a longer delivery and if he does not agree he will have the right to cancel his order.
All shipping is done by the Czech post. Delivery to the EU countries takes 1-2 weeks, to the USA – 1 – 2 weeks by Airmail or 4 – 6 weeks by Economy. In case of other destinations it depends on the location.
Insurance
All our packages are insured against the lost and have tracking numbers, which you will be emailed to you so that you can track your package.
