Fired Earth Returns

Returns are accepted only for complete orders. Partial returns are not permitted. Your return must be authorised within 14 days of receiving your order. Please get in touch with us within 14 days of your order being delivered.

Goods are eligible for return within 30 days of delivery. Any returned items must be in full boxed quantities and completely unused. Returns will only be accepted if the returned value is over £120 ex vat. Due to carriage charges and restocking fees, we cannot accept returns with a value of less than £120 ex vat.

A restocking charge of 25% will be deducted from the total refund, as well as the carriage charge. The carriage charge will vary depending on the total weight of goods being returned.

It is the customer’s responsibility to arrange and book the return shipping. Prior to handing your return to the chosen courier, please ensure the items are packed well to avoid damages in transit, take photos of your boxes/pallets in case of any issues with the courier. If any goods are damaged upon delivery to the warehouse, these items will not be refundable. This will be a case for the customer to take up with the courier company.

All returns must comprise of full unopened resaleable boxes only.(A photo of the boxes will need to be provided prior to collection)

We are unable to accept the return of any surplus tiles from reclaimed lots, zellige lots or end of the line.

Please make sure that you are happy with your tiles before they are manipulated, fixed or installed. Once these processes have begun, we are unable to exchange, as fixing and cutting means that we would be unable to resell the product.

Question 4

Sealing various products

Accepted Answer

A number of tiles require sealing.

- Natural stone & encaustic tiles require sealing due to their porous nature.

- Crackle glaze tiles must be sealed, especially if being used in a wet area or behind a cooker. This is because the crazing can allow liquids to pass through.

- Some porcelains can be sealed to aid cleaning

If you need any advice on what sealants to use for your purchased products, please get in touch with us before the tiles are installed: thetileemporium@mail.com
