All items are made to order and have variable processing timelines.  Currently, all mirrors and sculptures are a 3-4 week leadtime before shipping.  All textile artwork, wallhangings, and paintings are a 2-3 week leadtime before shipping.  Shipping times vary but with our daily pickups by Fedex it is standard for a 3-5 day transit time once your package has been picked up on our dock.  Freight transit times will be communicated via email with estimated arrival date with email and phone notifications and alerts.

CHANGE ORDER REQUESTS

Buyers are responsible to ensure that all information entered and submitted is correct which includes but not limited to shipping information, sizing, and finish selections.  If there is an error on an order placed or a change request is needed, please contact us immediately.  If that information is received within 5 business days before your product has been put into production we will gladly adjust the information to your order and make those changes if it is like for like product.  If that request is made within 5 business days but the requested change is a cost in material or labor that is above the ordered item, we will supply you with a cost difference and send an invoice to purchase the adjustment.  In the same regard if the change requested is below the order value, we will refund the difference.  If a change order request is made after 5 business days it is up to the discretion of our team based on where your order is at in the production line if that change can be made. This may incur additional charges (up to 30% restocking fee for all materials ordered for your order) or may be denied if your order is too far along in the production process.  Any change order requests (which includes shipping) that is requested once your order has been boxed and shipped will be denied.   Any change order requests that need to be made should be emailed to operations@candiceluter.com for proper handling.

CANCELLATIONS

Standard Item Listings: As all our items are handmade and made to order, we do not stock inventory on any given product.  A standard listing order may be eligible for a full refund if cancelled within 3 business days after being placed.  A request to cancel after 3 business days, will incur a 30% restocking fee to reimburse the studio towards the labor and material that has already been invested in and allocated toward your order.  Note: Once an item has been produced and shipped, that order is considered closed out and cannot be cancelled under any circumstance.  For cancellation inquiries please contact our Operations team (operations@candiceluter.com).

Custom Orders: Custom orders are specialty items made to order.  Once your custom order has been placed and funds received, your order cannot be cancelled for any reason.  All custom orders are supplied with pictures when ready to ship for design approval.  Once an order has been approved to ship by the buyer, your order is considered complete.  No cancellations or returns accepted.  For questions on custom orders please contact our Operations team (operations@candiceluter.com).

On-Site Installation Orders: By purchasing a custom on-site installation order you are entering into a binding contract.  Deposits or full payments made to begin production after funds are received, cannot be cancelled for any reason.  If a 50% deposit has been placed and the project cancelled, the buyer forfeits the deposit and the remaining balance will not be charged.  If a 100% deposit has been placed and the project cancelled, the buyer forfeits the full payment for that project and in rare circumstances a credit may be approved to be placed on the buyers account towards a future project.  For any on-site installation order questions please contact our lead designer (candice@candiceluter.com)
