Liability Disclaimer

• The K9 Creative accepts NO liability whatsoever for illness, injury, contamination, or damage arising directly or indirectly from USE OF THE ENGRAVED SIDE FOR FOOD PREPARATION, SERVING, OR FOOD CONTACT. This side is not sealed and is not intended for such use.

• Should you choose to use the engraved side for food-related tasks, this is done entirely at your own risk. You acknowledge that you have been clearly advised that this surface is not food-safe and release The K9 Creative from all claims, losses, or damages resulting from improper use.

• We are not liable for damage caused by misuse, neglect, excessive heat, water damage, or failure to follow care instructions.

Processing time:

Please allow a minimum of 3 weeks from order placement to dispatch. This includes 3–5 business days for processing, plus time for production and preparation. Dispatch may sometimes be quicker, or longer depending on the time of year and order volume. If your order will take longer than expected, we will let you know.

Personalisation approval:

If we need to confirm personalisation details or send you a proof, processing time only begins once we receive your approval.

Shipping time:

Shipping time begins after dispatch and does not count toward the 3‑week turnaround above. Delivery length is subject to the courier used (Royal Mail, Evri, or InPost) and their standard service timeframes. Once your order has left our premises, any delays in delivery are solely the responsibility of the chosen courier — we cannot be held responsible for shipping delays after dispatch.

Dispatch confirmation:

You will receive an email or text message (if you have provided your contact details) as soon as your order ships, including tracking information where available.

Shipping & Delivery Policy — The K9 Creative

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights.

Production Times

• Personalised items: 3–7 working days from payment & receipt of all details before dispatch.

• If a proof is sent, production begins once you approve it — delays approving will delay dispatch.

• Ready‑made items: Estimate shown on product page, at checkout, or in your order confirmation.

• Busy periods may extend times — we’ll contact you if we cannot meet agreed dates.

• Working days = Monday–Friday, excluding UK bank holidays.

Delivery Options & Times (after dispatch)

• Standard UK Delivery: approx. 2–4 working days

• Tracked Delivery: approx. 1–3 working days

• Express Delivery: where available, normally next working day after dispatch

• Express speeds up delivery after production — it does not reduce production time unless we have agreed this separately.

• Total lead time = production + dispatch + carrier delivery.

Deadlines & Special Dates

• Need your order by a specific date? Contact us before ordering — we will confirm if achievable.

• A delivery date is only guaranteed if expressly agreed in writing.

• If no date is agreed, goods must be delivered within 30 days from order.

Delivery Responsibility

• We remain responsible for loss or damage until you take delivery — handover to the carrier does not transfer risk.

• Tracking details provided when available; carrier updates may occasionally be delayed.

Issues in Transit

• No delivery after 10 working days from dispatch → contact us. You do not need to wait if tracking shows lost, it is confirmed lost, or an agreed deadline has passed.

• Lost parcel → contact us directly — we will investigate and arrange a replacement or refund.

• Damaged on arrival → contact us promptly; keep the item and packaging, and photos help us resolve this faster.

Address & Returns

• Please check your delivery address carefully before ordering. If you spot an error, contact us immediately — changes cannot be guaranteed once dispatched.

• If you provide an incorrect address and the parcel is returned, you may be asked to cover reasonable redelivery costs.

• Parcels refused or not collected → we will contact you; redelivery fees may apply.
