If an incorrect address is provided to us or the address is incomplete (ie no unit number or business name) and Australia Post is unable to deliver the parcel, you will be required to pay additional postage charges for the order to be redelivered.
Colour
Please consider that images shown on your device/ computer may appear slightly different to the true item colour. We try our best to show the items true colour in light but are unable to offer returns due to colour discrepancies.
Items cut from plywood & pine may have slightly different wood grain variances due to the natural nature of the product. This is not considered a fault of the product.
Misspelling Of Names
Please ensure upon purchase that all names are spelt correctly as once items are made, we cannot make any changes. If you have only just placed your order please contact us ASAP on willowdesigngifts@gmail.com and we will try our best to address this.
