CLAY-KING.COM TERMS OF SALE

BACK-ORDERS: We stock thousands of items at our warehouse and while we prefer to ship all orders complete, there are times when we do not have all items in-stock. If there are items that are unavailable, we will typically ship the order less the unavailable item, which will ship when it is back in-stock at no additional cost. This applies to orders shipping within the contiguous U.S. only.

CATALOG: In an effort to keep our prices as low as we can support, we do not print a catalog.

DAMAGES: If your ground shipment is found to be damaged, please call us right away. We will handle the claim process for you and re-ship the item as soon as possible. Damages MUST be reported to us within five (5) days of receiving your shipment NO EXCEPTIONS.

FREEZE POLICY: Glazes, wax resist and clay will freeze and ruin. Neither Clay-King nor the shipping company we use will be held responsible for items received damaged due to freezing temperatures. Please take your local weather into consideration when ordering items that vulnerable to freezing temperatures. If you live in locations that experience long periods of freezing weather, consider delaying your order until warmer weather is expected.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS: Some items on our website (primarily medium to larger sized kilns) must be shipped via  freight carrier. This is called a less-than-truckload (LTL) shipment. Trailers used in LTL can range from 28' to 53'. The standard for city deliveries is usually 48'. In tight and residential environments the 28' trailer is sometimes used. These shipments are usually palletized, shrink-wrapped and packaged for a mixed-freight environment.
