A NOTE ABOUT OUR POLICY 

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to look into our policy on returns and exchanges. It’s probably safe to assume that you’re interested in reading this because you might want to return an item you are currently looking to purchase or that you recently purchased. Your reason for considering a return may be one of a number of reasons. Please let us help answer or resolve any concern that you may have so that you can feel good about your order. We encourage you to e-mail us (stuckinthemudpottery@gmail.com) if you have any questions, we’re good at solving problems so let us assist you through any challenge you’re experiencing that is a result of shopping with us online.

Below we’ve outlined a few scenarios that might prompt interest in a return and offer recommendations on how to avoid the problem in the first place and how we handle the problem if it’s already a reality.

Oh no, I don’t like the color of the piece I selected.

We recommend thinking ahead about how you would use this piece of pottery and which color best suits how you will use this piece in your home. We do our best to portray the colors in our pottery as accurately as possible to avoid any surprises when you open up your shipment. If you know what color you want and like what you see online, we should be able to avoid this problem. We understand, however, that you may just have a change of heart and decide that instead of going with a bold color you’d prefer something more neutral. Or maybe you purchased a gift for your girlfriend and she would prefer a different color. We know that color is a particular thing so we can offer a one-time exchange for that particular item. Please e-mail us to see what colors we can offer as an exchange. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges. 

Oh, I’m just not that into it. 

You’re probably happy to know that we can offer exchanges under certain circumstances but still disappointed that we don’t offer any returns. Let us explain why. We are a small business, a very small business that makes many of our products to order. Each time that we accommodate an exchange, we are taking the time to make another product for you. We have made the decision to limit exchanges and we choose not to accept returns because it is simply not cost effective for our operation. Our time is limited and we handle nearly all aspects of our business ourselves. To keep up with orders and to still set aside enough time needed to maintain our business, work on new collections and directions for our brand this is the only feasible choice.

We believe deeply in the quality of our products and know that our products are better in real life than they appear online. So if you’re reluctant to purchase something that you have yet to see in person, we think it’s safe to say that if you’re drawn to it online then you will not be disappointed when you received the product in the mail.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our policy and our business. We hope it offers answers to your questions and improves your online shopping experience with us. As always, please reach out if you have any lingering questions. We’re here for you!
