PLEASE KINDLY TAKE TIME TO READ THE FOLLOWING ON POSTAGE AND RETURNS. 

POSTAGE:

All clocks are shipped using new double thickness boxes with appropriate filling to aid shock absorption in transit. 

  • Domestic customers (UK)

For domestic orders to the UK, I offer postage options via Royal Mail Tracked depending on how quickly you need the item.  

I also welcome collection from Horsham, West Sussex, UK. 

  • International customers (Worldwide)

I welcome international orders but please do read the Returns Policy.

I ship directly to worldwide destinations, via Royal Mail International Tracked 3-7 days, for clocks under 2kg in weight.  Over 2kg will be shipped via eBay Global Shipping Programme. For GSP orders, eBay will quote shipping cost. 

Please note international buyers will be responsible for import tax and duties. In some cases, eBay may collect this at payment.  

RETURNS POLICY:  

I want to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase, and in the event you are not satisfied, I will do all I can to help. I will accept returns in certain instances, but please read the following returns policy:

  • Change of mind  -  Returns must be requested within 14 calendar  days of receiving the item. However, return postage will be the buyer's liability and cost, and the refund will be total selling price less P&P cost.  The clock must be received back in exactly the same condition as it was despatched and match the photos on the listing. I cannot accept any liability for any damage to returned items.  Returned damaged items may result in partial or no refund in line with eBay policy.    
  • Faulty mechanisms (UK ONLY)  - All clocks are tested and inspected before despatch.  They are well packaged, so it is unlikely the item will arrive with a damaged mechanism. However, shock could affect the mechanisms particularly on striking clocks.  In the event the item arrives with a faulty mechanism it must be reported to me within 2 working days  of receipt with photos/videos if requested.  Please do not attempt to repair anything you think is faulty as I cannot accept returns where it is evident the buyer has caused further damage or tampered with components. A full refund will be issued including all postage where 1. the buyer has notified me in the requested time and 2. it is evident the damage is not caused buy the buyer.   
  • Striking clocks (IN TERNATIONAL ONLY)  -   Due to the particularly sensitive nature of striking mechanisms they may not tolerate well any considerable and/or repetitive shock caused by international courier handling and therefore I am unable to guarantee their working order. I am happy to accept returns if the striking mechanism is not working but all postage (both despatch and return) must be at the full buyer's cost and responsibility .  The clock will be well packaged and any rear striking components will be protected, but it's important to point out this risk on these clocks and bidders should consider this when bidding. The most likely risk is the mechanism jamming and normally an easy fix for a clock specialist.  
  • Mis-descriptions  - Full refund and all liability and postage at my cost. See further below on Listing Descriptions
Any refunds (both UK and International) will only be issued following receipt and inspection of the clock - usually within 5 working days of receipt.

LISTING DESCRIPTIONS:

This is an antique/vintage item and is very likely to display some signs of age, wear and tear, minor scratches and glass corner chips, unless I specify otherwise, so please do study photos closely as they form part of the description .  I take clear photos of every part of the clock including full exposed dial, so there should be no reason for cosmetic mis-descriptions.  I will do my best to describe any broken, faulty parts or unsightly damage as far as possible. My descriptions are as objective/factual as possible and I do not use subjective words like "beautiful, lovely, amazing or stunning".  Instead good, fair, poor, bad.  If you are unsure about something or have any concerns then please do ask me and I can always send you another photo.  

  • Note on glass chips  - Small chips to bevelled glasses particularly in corners and along edges are quite common but often concealed by the case.  Any that are not visible and concealed by the case are not deemed as a mis description as its simply not possible to describe every single concealed imperfection.  Any that are, should be identified in the photos and I will do my best to point these out. Damage to glasses in transit is very uncommon as they are well packaged.   

On receipt if you feel the item has been mis-described this is never deliberate, please do contact me and I will help and will always offer a full refund with postage and responsibility at my cost if this is the case.
