Return Policy
Long Love Memorials' Return Policy
All Long Love Memorial products are described and presented as accurately as possible. Because every product is handmade with porcelain, sizes can vary by up to 1/2 inch (2.5cm) on any dimension. Our photographs are color-corrected to represent -as closely as possible- the actual object, bearing in mind that all monitors and screens represent colors differently. If you have a question about a particular color or size, please contact me before making a purchase.Due to the handmade, made-to-order nature of my work, I regret that I cannot offer refunds.
- Custom orders are not returnable, nor eligible for store credit.
- All sales are final on discounted pieces, seconds, or sale items.
- I accept returns for exchange or store credit only within 5 days from receipt of goods for pre-made, non-customized products.
- All products must be unused (resalable) with all original tags and packaging to be eligible for return.
- Shipping charges are non-refundable and buyer is responsible for return shipping to my studio.
- In the unlikely event that a product is vastly misrepresented, please contact me to discuss options.
To start the return process for a non-customized item, please contact me within 5 days of receiving your order to obtain a Return Authorization number. Merchandise returned without authorization will be refused and/or returned at customer expense. Items that arrive used, damaged, or without original packaging will void the RA, so please take care in repackaging, and use a trusted shipping carrier. Long Love Memorials is not liable for merchandise lost or broken in transit to us. New orders will be shipped once the returned item is received and processed.

VARIATIONS VS. DEFECTS
All of our products are handcrafted. As such, there will be slight variations in color, texture, & finish. These are not considered defects; rather they’re characteristics of the natural handmade process that results from our particular techniques & materials.We hope you agree that these variations add to the uniqueness and beauty of your new piece. Each item is inspected for discernable flaws before leaving our studio. In the rare event that you received a defective item, please notify us with a description of the issue – we'll diagnose the problem and will ship a replacement (excluding custom orders) or issue store credit upon determination of a defect. Shipping for defective or damaged items is free.
