LAYAWAY:
I am pleased to offer you a helpfull payment option, to ease the financial pressure of buying your very special teddy bear:
  •  the first (1/3) payment will be made as soon as you agree to adopt a bear;
  •  the second (1/3) will be requested the same date of the following month;
  •  and the final third, 30 additional days after that.
  • This can be adjusted if needed: e.g. you can dived the total payment into 2 monthly payments.
  • Delivery will be made after the last payment.
  • Payments for a lay-a-way are non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Should you wish to clear the layaway earlier than expected, you are more than welcome to as I'm sure your new furry friend will be more than happy to see his or her new home sooner than later....
  • All I ask in return is that payments dates are respected! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. Thank you.

COMMISSIONS:
  • I keep getting emails with this very frequent question: "DO YOU TAKE CUSTOM ORDERS...?" 
  • But I am very sorry to let you know that I don't take any custom orders. All my creations are made on a one and off basis.
  • Besides this I think that commissions also stiffle my creativity and I have so many creative ideas that I want to make. I feel it is better for the Milly Me Designs concept and originality to make my creations free of the constrains of commisioned designs.
  • In other words: I want to be free to design and create my own designs and patterns. This in the long run enables me to be more productive, efficient and above all creative. And it will also benefit you as a collector.

CANCELLATIONS, RETURNS & REFUNDS:
  • I want my customers to be 100% happy with their purchase. If for some reason you are not,  please contact me within 3 working days after receiving the item.
  • In accordance to the EU law you have 14 days to withdraw when purchasing goods (13, June 2014). This “cooling off” period expires 14 days after the day you received your goods. However, if this period expires on a non-working day, your deadline is extended till the next working day. You can choose to withdraw from your order for any reason within this timeframe - even if you simply changed your mind. 
  • I realize that taste varies, so please ask questions before you buy. I cannot stress this enough. I respect my work and my designs and I inspect all the items before they will be shipped to you.
  • A full refund will be given to the item returned in its original condition and packing. The cost of return postage is the responsibility of the buyer.
