FAQ

How can I place an order?

The easiest way to order is from this website where you can place your order 24/7 day or night, at a time that is most convenient for you.

Just follow these simple steps:

  • On the “Categories” page click on the product that you want to see, eg. "Large Westmorland Lamp | Langdale".
  • This will take you to images of the product with all the details and specifications written above and below it - you will see a number of thumbnail images showing different colours. This will give you the different variations for this product. Eg. Wine Shade or Brick Shade or Terracotta Shade.
  • Click on the colour variation that you want to see so you see several image details.
  • Clicking on any one of these thumbnails takes you to the same purchase screen. (To go back to the original images click on the back arrow at the top left hand corner of the screen.) 
  • On the purchase screen, you will see the specifications below the image.  Scroll down & complete the “Quantity” icon and then click on the “Add to Basket” button which will take you to the 'Your Shopping Basket' screen.  
  • Check that you have the right product(s) in your shopping basket, check the quantity and alter it if necessary. 
  • Enter discount code if you have one eg. "AB2021", and click on “Redeem”. Discount will be applied. 
  • Click on “Proceed to Checkout” or “Continue Shopping”. Billing details will appear, please fill in all the requested information. Then click on “Continue”.  
  • Check that all of the details in your basket, and both billing & delivery addresses are correct. 
  • Click on “Pay Now” icon.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to make payment by PayPal or by debit or credit card.

How do I know if my order is accepted?

As soon as we receive your order you will receive a confirmation email. This will confirm what you have ordered, your shipping address, the amount paid and the latest expected delivery date. 

How long will it take for my order to be dispatched?

Each piece is bespoke and made to order by Stewart Hearn, for this reason there is a six week delivery time from the date that you place your order. However, depending on Stewart's workload he may be able to deliver your order within a shorter time frame. You will be notified by email or phone when you order is ready for delivery.

Where do you deliver to and how much does it cost?

We can deliver to anywhere in the world but the cost will vary depending on the distances involved. To ship within mainland UK and The Highlands & Islands, the shipping cost is included in the price on the website. However, if your shipping address is Northern Ireland, Europe, or International please email us giving details of your shipping address and your product choices. We will give you a shipping quote by email as quickly as we can. 

How will my order be sent?

We have years of experience in sending glass long distances, so you can have every confidence that your order will arrive in perfect condition. We use a trusted courier company that we have been working with for years. Please let us know by email of any additional address details which you think might make delivery easier. E.g. 'Access from Berry Lane'.   

Can I add an alternative delivery address?

Unfortunately we can only deliver to your billing address.

Why isn't my order the same size as it states in the specifications on the website?

 Each item that is sold on the online shop has been handmade to order and as a result each handcrafted item is unique. When making each piece Stewart works hard to get as close to the dimensions given on the website as possible. However, in some cases, due to the making process, the dimensions may be a few millimetres larger or smaller than originally quoted. This is nothing to worry about and does not affect the overall quality of the piece.

There is a small bubble in the glass item that I ordered, what should I do?

Because the glass is gathered on the blowing iron during the making process, air sometimes gets trapped inside. This is not a fault in the glass and is integral to the piece. Stewart's standards are very high and he would never allow you to receive an item that did not meet his own high expectations.

Why are the colours in my item not the same as the item on the website?

Each item made by Stewart Hearn is made to order and is a unique item in its own right. Despite using the same set of colours when making the same piece, sometimes the way that the colour moves during the making process appears to create different tones in some places. This is not a fault but rather a result of the traditional mouth blown making process. And this is what makes each piece a bespoke piece of art.

Can I use an alternative light bulb in my lamp?

You are welcome to use any light bulb which fits the light fitting but please follow the wattage recommended on the lamp shade. The fitting takes a standard bayonet type bulb and we will supply you with an energy saving light bulb with each lamp that you order.
