To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted:

  • Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to a manufacturing error.
  • Any item that is returned in less than 30 days after delivery

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.

Late or missing refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account or PayPal account, as sometimes if payments have been made through PayPal these can be lost in between payment systems and sometimes they can be held as PayPal credit.

If the payment has been done as direct debit or PayID transfer we recommend you to contact your credit card company. As well you may have to take into consideration that payments may take a few days before they’re ready to be released in your statement.

If the payment hasn’t arrived after 3-4 working days, please check that the details you’ve provided to us are correct, as that might be the reason why isn’t there. If that’s the case, you might have to contact the bank institution. They’ll have to guide you through the process of recovery.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at tamborineglassblowing@gmail.com

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations will increase the business’s outgoings without a full class (minimum 3 paying students). 

The viability of our Glass Craft requires constant maintenance whilst the furnace is in operation. (sustain a minimum temp of 1000degree celsius). A single cancellation often will create cascading losses in resources, human and natural.

We hope you understand refunds can not be processed.

If Tamborine ​Glassblowing: Our minimum class size for most classes is three persons, unless otherwise noted in the class description. In the unlikely event that we cancel a class for any reason, those who have registered will receive a full refund or an opportunity to transfer their registration fee to a different class. If a class is cancelled we are not responsible for reimbursing travel costs or other reservation fees.

If You Cancel or No-Show: Our class fees include a $50- non-refundable registration fee, which is forfeited by those who cancel a registration. Students who cancel a registration 14 or more days prior to the beginning of a class will receive a refund of the class fee, minus the $25 registration fee. Cancellations made fewer than 14 days prior to the beginning of a class will not be refunded. In order to keep class costs low for all, we make no exceptions to this policy.

No exceptions.

An Unpaid No-Show: If you have not pre-paid for your class or session, there will be a $25 fee (per person) before you can attend another one of our classes. We try to collect payment at the time of registration, but this cannot always be done. This does not release the student from their verbal or written agreement that they will attend at the previously arranged time and place. Our instructor has made arrangements to be there, as well as materials and a work space has been prepared. Those considerations cost time and money.

If You Need To Reschedule: 

Our class fees include a $50- non-refundable registration fee. (Booking/Admin Contribution)
