Delivery and returns

Delivery is included in every quote. We send worldwide from London with tracking by DHL, UPS or FedEx. In the UK the parcel is delivered to your door; outside the UK any customs duties or import taxes are paid by the recipient.

Because each piece is made for you alone, personalised orders cannot usually be returned. That does not affect your legal rights if a piece arrives faulty, damaged or different from the artwork you approved: write to info@laldie.com with a photograph and we will put it right.
