General Ordering Information Due to lack of space for storage, all orders are made-to-order. This means that we do not produce the bisque until we receive an order for it. Depending on order size, it can take 3-6 weeks for orders to be shipped, larger orders may take a bit longer. Shipping & Returns/Deliveries Phantasy Ceramics ships via UPS or USPS only. Insurance is included in the shipping total. If your subtotal is more than $200, please use UPS for shipping *DO NOT* use USPS. Items are well packed using shredded paper, bubble wrap, peanuts, styrofoam, or whatever else may be necessary to protect your item(s) during shipping. We take extreme care in packaging your order! We will not ship more than 50 lbs. in one box. There is a small packaging fee of no more than $8.00 per box to cover packing materials.

Order Cancellation If you choose to cancel a placed order, only 50% of your merchandise total + shipping will be refunded. This is because if you place an order, we immediately begin producing your order and usually within 1 or 2 days of the order being placed, we have already poured the molds for the items which have been ordered. Once the items have been cast, they are done except for cleaning and firing and the 50% of your purchase price will cover the costs of pouring the greenware for your order.
We will not under any circumstances ship greenware to anywhere! Please do not ask us to ship greenware at any time.
