The clothing you send
It is your responsibility to provide the right number of suitable clothing items. To be deemed suitable the clothes must be: Laundered, in good condition, and intact.

If clothes are deemed unsuitable when we receive them, we reserve the right to refuse to use them and you will be informed and given the opportunity to send in additional clothes – though you will evidently need to pay for the additional postage and packaging. We will make design decisions about where items of clothing are used.
Special requests
Please include a note with your package of clothing that you send to us if you have any special requests. If you specifically want all the items used, or feel particularly strongly about certain items, this must be specified when the clothing is sent to us. We will do our best to honour all requests but cannot guarantee to include all special requests. We will make design decisions about where items of clothing are used. If you are in any doubt about the condition of the clothes, the quantity, or have any other questions about them please email us before you send them.
Clothing remnants
Standard practice is for cut items of clothing to be returned with your finished keepsake, in case you wish to use them for something else further down the line. If you do not wish to receive these back, please let us know, either by the included note or by emailing us at shugglebears14@gmail.com.
Posting clothing to us

Delivery

Please note that there is always an element of risk with using a courier/postal service and whilst we will always assist in any issues with couriers where we are able, we cannot be held liable for items that are lost in transit.
Keepsake Timescales
We work extremely hard to ensure your keepsake arrives with you within the published timescales for However in some instances this is not possible due to a number of reasons. Shugglebears reserves the right to extend the timescales in these instances.
Returns, Refunds and Exchanges
We do our very best to make sure you receive the items you want, exactly as you want them. Unfortunately, as keepsake items are personal to you, our customer, we are unable to provide a refund or exchange unless the item is faulty or incorrect due to a mistake on our part. Some of the keepsake animals can vary quite a lot in appearance depending on the material used (how stretchy it is for example) and we cannot guarantee that your keepsake will look identical to the photographs on our website. Where there is no actual fault with the item but you are unhappy with the appearance we may agree to try and alter it for a fee starting from £10 and may vary depending on the alterations, you will need to cover the postage back to us. We cannot refund or exchange used or customer damaged items.
When returning items to us, please ensure you get proof of postage and where ever possible, use recorded delivery. For items that are faulty, we will refund the postage. No refunds or exchanges will be made until the goods have been returned to us.
