​
Ordering Stationery and Decor
​
Your order will be considered to have been placed once the required payment has been received by F3 Design. Our stationery orders are broken down into three ranges, ‘Pre Wedding Stationery’, ‘On The Day Stationery’ and ‘Post Wedding Stationery’. You must order all of your required stationery items from each range at once to ensure that we have the capacity to complete your order, for example if ordering from our ‘On The Day Stationery’, you must order all of the stationery that you require from this range at once, items from this range cannot be added at a later date. Where you do not have precise numbers for additional items at the time of ordering, (place cards for example) approximate numbers should be used. These can be adjusted once you know your final guest numbers and your final invoice is prepared.
​
Chair Covers
We are unable to un-stack or put out chairs at your venue. This is something you need to arrange with the venue before our arrival.
It is your responsibility to arrange with your venue to have the correct amount of chairs available for us to dress. We will only cover the chairs that have been put out for us. We are unable to leave any spare covers/sashes. If the correct amount of chairs is not put out and we have to return, there will be an additional fee for this. Should you require more, please notify us 24 hours prior to delivery and if in stock, these will be offered and charged for accordingly.
Cancelling
​
If you wish to cancel your stationery order, this must be done in writing and within 48 hours of full payment being made and before any stock has been purchased. All monies will be returned, less the non-refundable booking fee and any costs of stock already purchased.
Cancellations for room décor must be made before 6 weeks of the date of the event and in writing, your monies will be returned, minus the non-refundable booking fee. If a cancellation is made within this 6-week period, you will be charged in full and will be ineligible for a refund.
Unforeseen circumstances
​
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept any liability for unforeseen circumstances should you need to cancel within the 6 week period, this can include and is not limited to, weather conditions, change of date etc. Should you wish to postpone your event and rebook a new date, we may be able to transfer the event over at no additional cost provided that we have the space available.
​
Returns
​
As all stationery is personalised, we regret that we cannot offer refunds. Any defects or errors with goods must be reported to F3 Design by email within 48 hours of the goods being received by the customer. After 48 hours, the goods will be deemed to have been accepted by you. In the event that the error reported is a typographical error by us (i.e. it differs from the guest list or wording supplied by the customer) F3 Design shall replace the item(s) affected. In these circumstances you may be required to return the item(s), in original packaging, if requested to do so by us. F3 Design will ask you to return the items to us by Royal Mail and you will be reimbursed for the postage cost. Replacement items will be sent out as soon as possible. IMPORTANT: Reprints or refunds will not be made if the goods contain errors but are as ordered by you. It is therefore vital that you ensure that the information and guest names given to F3 Design are correct. F3 Design accepts no responsibility for checking your spellings and is not responsible for running a spell check on stationery wording.
​
Proofs
​
Both electronic and physical proofs (where applicable) are sent for all relevant stationery items; please be aware that all electronic proofs are sent to scale. Great care is taken to ensure all information is accurate, however it is ultimately the responsibility of the client to check layout, copy, spelling and grammar. Before printing can commence, you are required to sign a declaration confirming that you are happy with the final product. If designs are approved with type errors and subsequently printed F3 Design takes no responsibility, and will not be liable for any resulting cost. If replacements are required then they will be charged for in full. It is therefore of the upmost importance that you check all spelling and copy thoroughly before approving any designs. The proof can be amended as many times as necessary, and should you make any changes, a revised proof is always emailed through with the relevant changes. Please note that the colour on your screen may differ from printed colour, as individual screens are collaborated differently and this is particularly noticeable on phones and tablets.
​
Variations
​
As some of our work is handmade, slight variations between items may occur. We take great care to keep variations to an absolute minimum. Please note that with all natural wooden products, changes will occur. As wood is a natural product it reacts to the environment and expands with rising temperatures, unfortunately there is currently no process in place to prevent this from happening. Therefore please note that all natural wooden items come with a risk of cracking / expanding.
​
Payments
​
Upon approval of the estimate sent by F3 Design a non-refundable booking of 50% of the estimated cost will be required before any design work can begin. An invoice for the fee will be sent by F3 Design. Once final proofs have been confirmed and you are happy for production to start, 100% of the remaining balance (50%) will be due. All costs are quoted in and are to be paid in pounds sterling by bank transfer, cash or cheque. Bank details will be provided on the invoice sent by F3 Design. F3 Design cannot be held responsible for any delay to delivery as a result of late payment. Payment for stationery is required prior to commencement of your order. As your stationery is fully personalised and therefore bespoke to your wedding production cannot be started until the required payments is received and has successfully cleared. Payment must be made in a timely manner. In the event of late payment, the production time will be pushed back accordingly.
​
Lead Times
​
We currently work on a 4 week turnaround for all orders from our custom collection. We currently work on an 6 week turnaround for all orders from our bespoke collection. If you need your order completed sooner than these turnaround times; we will endeavour to accommodate but cannot be held responsible if we are unable to complete your order before the above turnaround times. To guarantee your order is completed outside of these production times, a £50 express fee will be applicable. Once this payment has cleared production will begin to meet your requested turnaround time.
​
Delivery
​
All items posted by F3 Design will require a signature; therefore any returned items will incur additional postage costs. F3 Design cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery due to circumstances out of our control, such as postal strikes or adverse weather conditions. F3 Design shall not be liable for any losses, damages or expenses incurred by the customer arising out of any delays in delivery or damage or loss during transit.
​
Storage
​
Once completed work has been handed over to your possession, it is your responsibility to ensure that it is stored correctly before use, to minimise the risk of any damage.
