Please note that I cannot be held responsible for delivery times, so if you would an item by a specific time make sure you place your order in plenty of time to avoid disappointment. This especially applies to busy times such as Christmas!

Most orders are small enough to fit through a letter box. If it is too big, or it needs to be signed for, the postman will leave you a card informing you that delivery has been attempted. On this card will be instructions on how to obtain your parcel.

If , for any reason, your purchase is returned to me by Royal Mail it is the buyers responsibility to pay for all of the postage costs to have the item/s reposted.

Please allow 1-3 working days for standard delivery purchases to arrive. However, it has been know for 1st class to take over a week to arrive. If after a week you haven't received your order, please click here to contact me with your query and order number.

Recorded Delivery Orders

Items sent using Recorded Delivery (just £1 and highly recommended!) arrive the next day and need to be signed for.

If you weren't in to sign for your order the postman will leave a 'Sorry you were out' card telling you how to collect your parcel or arrange a redelivery.

If you have followed the instructions above and still have not received your order, please click here to contact me with your query and order number.

If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase please contact me within 7 days. Items must be returned within 14 days of purchase. Please click here to contact me to receive information on how to return your purchase(s).

I will issue a full refund on receipt, or exchange the item for a different colour if preferred.

If you require a different product (rather than a different size or colour of the same product) you will need to place a new order online and return the original item for a refund.

Some products (such as earrings) are non-returnable; these are clearly marked with a '+' next to the product name.

If a discount was applied to your original order, the amount refunded will be adjusted to allow for the revised order value and appropriate discount level.

Once you have contacted me, you have a legal "duty of care" to take good care of the goods. You must return the goods at your expense - I highly recommend that returns are sent using a trackable posting method such as Recorded Delivery to ensure that it arrives to me safely.

If the item you received is faulty, I am really sorry. Please click here to contact me.

If you are returning an item, or items, to me then the cost of returning the item to me is your responsibility, unless the item is faulty or not what you ordered.

The item is your responsibility until it reaches me. I recommend that you send the item/s using Recorded Delivery.

If you make lovely things and would like to sell them on the Oriental Magpie, outlined below is how to do just that.
I have tried to cover everything you need to know, but if there is anything I've missed out, or if you have further questions, please email me emma@theorientalmagpie.com or contact me here

The Oriental Magpie sells designer's items on a consignment basis. This gives you the opportunity to sell your work without the hassle and faff of e-commerce, photography, promotion and shipping.

You send your items to me and I deal with the boring stuff, giving you time to do the fun creating bit! If you already have your own shop then this is a great way to get your items seen by a wider audience or different market with little cost or hassle.

Of course we do! The more the merrier!

So long as it's handmade and good quality, The Oriental Magpie will consider it! We can take jewellery, accessories, bags, hair accessories, clothing, stationery and paper goods, prints and artwork, home wares, toys...if you think it will go down well in the store then get in touch!

I reserve the right to refuse or return items if I feel that the quality is not of a suitable standard or they are offensive.

Your items are sold at a price that you specify. I use a consignment ratio of 40:60 upon sale of your item, which means that you get 60% of the retail price. You don't have to worry about the costs of P&P, Paypal fees etc. as I cover these.

Payments are sent monthly by bank transfer, cheque or Paypal for UK consigners and by Paypal for international consigners. All payments are made in GBP (£) only.

I obviously can't guarantee that your items will sell. I ask that all items stay in the shop for a quarterly basis (3 months) to give me a chance to fully promote your pieces. After that time you can request any unsold pieces to be returned to you.

The Oriental Magpie is a small emporium and at present there are no forms. If you need a reference I can put you in touch with one of my current consigners.

Upon acceptance of your items I will email you a list of items together with the retail price you have specified, consignment fees and how much you will receive should your items sell.
It usually takes 2 weeks to get items photographed, descriptions written and then added to the site.

Brilliant! You now have to decide on what pieces you would like to consign. You as the designer obviously know your pieces best, but if you would like a helping hand and guidance choosing pieces I will try to help.

Once you have chosen some pieces, please email the following information to emma@theorientalmagpie.com:

• Your name and location
• Your website address if you have one
• A selection of photographs (or link to photographs)
• A bit of information about each item- materials/techniques/sizes
• The quantity of each item you would like to consign
• Retail price of each item.

I will contact you within 10 working days if you have been approved.
