If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos of the item and packaging. We will work with you to resolve the issue promptly.
8. Order Cancellations
We understand that plans can change. Because many of our items are processed quickly after an order is placed, cancellation requests are time-sensitive.
- Within 24 hours of placing your order: If approved, cancellations are eligible for a full refund with no fees.
- After 24 hours: Approved cancellations are subject to a 15% cancellation fee.
- Cancellation requests are not guaranteed, as orders may already be processed or in transit. If an order has already shipped, it cannot be cancelled and will fall under our standard return policy.
- Refunds for cancelled orders will exclude any non-recoverable processing or payment fees, if applicable.
9. Our Commitment
As part of our commitment to sustainability, returned items are carefully inspected and, where possible, restored or responsibly rehomed to reduce environmental impact.
10. Policy Exceptions
Any situations not explicitly covered in this policy will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. All decisions are made at Artisan Elm’s sole discretion and are final.
We always aim to reach fair and reasonable resolutions that reflect our commitment to quality and customer experience.
