Your sculptures are hand-crafted by glass studios which are are more often than not small companies that are only able to produce a certain amount of product each week. Nevertheless, when needed we can often speed up production. All we ask is you email us, or call us, and we will see by how much we can speed up your order. Once goods are ready, we can ship to you on a special 2 day service- Normally goods take 4 days to ship from Italy to the UK on our standard road service, but a special 2 day import service is available with TNT at an extra cost.

We accept all major credit and debit cards. You order can be transacted on-line using Visa, MasterCard. You can also request pay by bank transfer. If you are a UK resident you may also pay us by cheque, but this may take a little longer to process.

There is no minimum order requirement from Murano Glass Sculptures.

We do not have a single catalogue that shows all of our products. This would be impractical to print as we represent such a large number of Italian manufacturers. We may be able to send you relevant catalogues of particular manufacturers if we have them in stock. Please contact us if there is a particular product you are seeking. We can also post or email high resolution images of any models you may be interested in.

We are very happy to offer you trade terms as a trade customer/account. You must be a bona-fide trade customer to qualify for discounts. In the UK.

You can also email us to find out when the order is ready for shipping, and we should be able to give you a pretty firm idea of the shipping date.

We are currently unable to ship to a post office box. The only exceptions are some Middle Eastern states where P.O. boxes are recognized by FedEx.

All our goods are specially packed to cope with the rigours of international shipping. In the unlikely event of any products arriving damaged, we will send out replacements.

We frequently ship to international customers, and welcome your business. Please email us with your delivery address, and the items you are interested in purchasing, and we will send you a quotation including shipping door to door, and purchasing instructions.

Shipping to a UK mainland address and mainland Europe is charged at a flat rate of £10.00 per order. For deliveries outside the UK mainland (Channel Islands and outer Islands) a supplement may be charged. Shipping costs for the rest of the world are charged according to weight/volume. Please contact us for a price.

We work with FED EX , UPS and Royal Mail.

Sometimes orders are made up of products from different suppliers. In this instance we may ship the order separately. However, only one shipping charge will be made.

If any of our other carriers are unable to deliver your order due to an incorrect address, the order will be returned to us. At this stage you will be responsible for any reshipping fees charged to redeliver the package. In the case of absence on delivery day, we will attempt delivery 3 times, and will notify you of such action. After this period the order is returned to us until you are able to take delivery. A redelivery fee will be charged in this instance.

Please inspect your goods as soon as you have received them, or at least within 7 days of purchase. If any of the items have been damaged, contact us, and we will replace these items for you. If you are able to take a photograph we would appreciate this. In some instances we may collect the damaged item on behalf of our insurance company.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that your goods arrive within the stated timeframe, we do use a third party for delivery, and therefore cannot accept responsibility for the delayed arrival of your goods.

If a product does not meet with your 100% satisfaction for any reason, you are welcome to return it, and unlike with many other shops, Murano Glass Sculptures has no irritating re-stocking fees. You must notify us in writing or by phone of your wish to return your purchase within 7 days of receiving it. This is because we have a limited time frame in which to seek recourse with our suppliers for faulty/incorrect goods, and with the carriers for any damage in transit. This returns policy applies to all the products you see online. In addition trade accounts are subject to separate trade terms & returns policy. This is sent to you with your first trade order, and is available upon request. 

The written or verbal consent of Murano Glass Sculptures must be obtained before cancellation of any order becomes operative. Under no circumstances may goods be returned without first notifying the Company. Before returning goods, we welcome any feedback you can give for the reasons for your return, as the feedback is important in helping us improve our service. The returned goods should be carefully packed in their original packaging where possible, to minimize the risk of damage in transit. 

PLEASE NOTE: You are responsible for the cost of shipping returned goods back to us. No credit is given for lost returns. We do strongly recommend that you use a shipper who offers insurance and tracking, as we cannot be responsible for lost return packages.

After we receive your package and inspect the items, you will receive an email confirming refund total. Refunds will be issued in 3 to 5 business days. Please allow adequate time for your banking institution to process the credit.

You are welcome to exchange your order if you change your mind. Please contact us via email or telephone.
