Free Collection
If you are located in or around the Bristol area you can pick up your order free of charge by selecting the "Pick up" option at checkout. Once your order is ready we will have it waiting for you here to collect at our Bristol HQ and will contact you to arrange pick up.
Please wait until we give you a call or email to let you know when the order is ready as there is a 1-2 week turnaround time for every order.
Lead Times
We aim to complete all orders within 7-14 working days (although often it can be sooner).
Rest assured if your order is likely to take any longer - for whatever reason - we will contact you and let you know. For overseas orders, please allow at least 28 days. We send all of our products via courier (this does not include jewellery, unless specified) so all deliveries will need a signature upon arrival. if you require a specific delivery date for an order then please don't hesitate to call us on 0117 972 0818.
Due to high delivery costs of our works of art we do not offer a Saturday delivery service as standard. However, we can provide this service at a cost if required. Please email or call to speak to us.
Please remember, we are a small company and all of our items are unique and individually handmade. This means our products are given a very high level of personal care and attention until the job is right. Sometimes this takes longer than churning out mass produced, soul-less items, but the wait is always worth it - we guarantee it!
Shipping Costs
The cost of shipping is calculated according to the total order weight and the destination. This is dictated by our Couriers and Royal Mail. We try our best to find the most cost effective options available, despite the astronimicl rises that we have been subject to.
International Shipping
We endeavor to ship as cost effectively as possible. For larger international orders, we will seek the most competitive current quote and will refund any excess shipping charges.
Since Brexit, orders to Europe attract import customs VAT and sending occasions us considerable extra administration. The customs charges are beyond our control.

Packaging
Our products have been shipped to customers for over 30 years with very few breakages. If you are worried about fragile items in transit to your door then don't be!
Once production of the order has been completed your item(s) will be expertly packed and handled by our dedicated staff. It will be wrapped very carefully in order to make sure it arrives at your door in the same perfect condition as it leaves the factory floor.
Also, we are proud to announce that we use exclusively-recycled and recyclable boxes and packaging. This includes our bubble wrap which is biodegradable.
You can choose for your order to be placed in a special gift box for a small additional charge, so be sure to select this option on the product page if you would like this. If you are buying a gift for someone then we would recommend the gift-wrapped option.

This signifies the website uses the SSL protocol (a data transfer security standard that is used to encrypt data and authenticate the server and the integrity of the message).
Your order
As soon as you place your order with us you will receive a confirmation by email with details of the product(s) ordered, the amount paid and your Bristol Blue Glass order reference number.
Work then gets underway on making the product(s) you have ordered. Every product is made by hand from scratch. It will very closely match the image shown on the relevant product page but please bear in mind that because no moulds are used in manufacture there is no mass-production and no short-cuts are taken. Your product will be one of a kind and unique. Molten glass is moulded and shaped by hand using basic tools so very slight deviations may be apparent, although we guarantee you a perfect and beautiful glass product!

Either way, the item is packaged very securely and sent on its way to you by courier. We know these are fragile products and rest assured they will be packed very well. The last thing we want is for you to receive damaged goods! We will advise you of the courier tracking number at the time of dispatch so that you can follow the parcel's progress to your door.

If there are ever any problems we will do our utmost to put them right for you. However, if you receive your order and it is not what you expected or that it just doesn't suit the space you had intended to put it in, then all you need to do is let us know that you wish to return it by sending an email or calling us within 14 days of receipt. Assuming the item returned to us arrives in an undamaged state and in the same perfect condition as it was sent to you originally then we will duly refund your original payment.
If you receive a product from us that is faulty, damaged, or otherwise defective in some way (instances such as this are very rare and are out of our control but the occasional problem can sometimes occur) then please get in touch with us as soon as you can (and no later that within 3 days of receipt of the item). Depending on where you live and if it is a large item we will arrange for a courier to collect it from you, otherwise we will reimburse you the postage cost once you send it back to us.
