A paper copy of your invoice will be sent with all orders received via a non customer facing method. 

All items are handmade and therefore will vary slightly from the photographs shown. Our wording is stamped by hand and therefore by its very nature and appeal, will have its imperfections and irregularities and no two items will be the same. Many of the metal shapes we use are cut or moulded by hand which can lead to slight variations between products which is to be expected and not considered a flaw. All sizes are approximate for this reason. We cannot stamp on both sides of the metal (some exclusions apply)

For anything else please contact us.
