Purchasing on Our Site

When you place an order to purchase a product from www.beautifulthings.ie, we will send you an e-mail confirming receipt of your order and containing the details of your order. Your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product which is accepted by us only when we send e-mail confirmation to you that we’ve dispatched that product to you. That acceptance will be complete at the time we send this dispatch confirmation email to you. Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed in a dispatch confirmation email as having been dispatched do not form part of that contract.

Products

All products on our site are checked for quality before being dispatched and are packed carefully and suitably for transit.

Due to the unique nature of handmade and natural products, please note that there may be slight variation in each product and that measurements and colours are approximate and may vary slightly. Whilst every attempt is made to present images that represent products as they are, please be aware that colours, dimensions and appearances may vary with the individual electronic viewing screen that you use and we are not responsible for if these present a slightly altered image.

Returns & Refunds

All customers in the European Union are entitled to a statutory cooling-off period of 14 business days, calculated from the date of receipt by you of the products. This means that you must inform us via our Returns form or in writing or via email contact@beautifulthings.ie within 14 days of receipt that you wish to cancel the contract. You must then return the products to us within a further 14 days.

The returned items must be in their original condition, in the original packaging and with original labels and tags attached. We do not provide refunds for products that have been used or damaged.

Please review our Returns policy for further information which applies to products purchased from us.

Pricing, Availability and Dispatch

We try to list availability information for products sold by us on our site.

We try to verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If a product’s correct price is lower than our stated price, we charge the lower amount and send you the product. If a product’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatch or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
