TATE HARWOOD / CUSTOMER CARE
A little clarity.
Before & after.
From finding the right proportions to the moment your parcel arrives. The details, all in one place.
Choosing your object
13 QUESTIONSWhat is Tate Harwood?
An edit of sculptural home objects: ceramic vessels, stone bookends, trays, candlesticks and incense holders. Each product page describes the particular item offered.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the surface and available height before ordering. Compare those measurements with the dimensions on the product page; a paper outline is useful for checking a footprint.
Are measurements in inches or centimetres?
Available product measurements are shown in metric and US units. Use the measurements for your selected product, not the apparent scale of a styled photograph.
What if a measurement I need is missing?
Email customer care with the product name and the measurement you need. Please check before ordering rather than estimating from the photograph.
Which finish or option will I receive?
The selected finish and configuration are named in the product details. Photographs illustrate that configuration; an alternative seen elsewhere is not automatically an available option.
Are flowers, books and candles included?
Only the contents listed on the product page are included. Flowers, books, candles, jewellery, furniture and other styling props are excluded unless expressly listed.
Are bookends sold individually or as a pair?
Check the included-pieces information for the particular bookend. Do not assume every bookend listing includes two pieces.
Will natural stone look exactly like the photograph?
Natural veining, pores and markings can vary. The listed material and selected finish remain the reference; individual natural patterns are not identical.
Will colours look the same on my screen?
Lighting, screen settings and natural material variation can affect appearance. If a precise match matters, ask us about the finish before ordering.
Can I use these pieces outdoors?
Do not assume an object is suitable for rain, frost or prolonged sunlight. Unless its listing expressly states outdoor suitability, choose it for indoor display.
Are your decorative pieces food safe?
Do not use a decorative tray or vessel for direct food contact unless its product description expressly confirms that use.
Can I order a different colour or custom size?
Only the options shown as available on the product page can be ordered. Contact us about a requirement before purchase; custom production is not promised.
Can you help me decide between products?
Yes. Send customer care the product names and the dimensions of your intended space. We can help clarify listed materials, contents and proportions.
Ordering & payment
13 QUESTIONSHow do I place an order?
Choose an available object, add it to your bag and review the quantity and price. Continue to checkout, enter your details and review the final total before paying.
Do I need to create an account?
An account is not required to add products to your bag and use checkout. Keep the order reference and use the same email address when contacting us about that order.
When is my order confirmed?
An order is confirmed after payment has been successfully processed. An open checkout or an item in your bag does not by itself confirm a purchase.
Why does checkout use Whop?
Whop processes payments for our store. Your purchase remains for the Tate Harwood items shown in your bag; review the order total before authorising payment.
Which payment methods can I use?
Use one of the payment methods displayed in the secure checkout for your transaction. Availability may depend on the device, location and payment provider.
What currency are prices in?
Store prices are in US dollars. If your account uses another currency, your bank or payment provider may apply its own conversion and fees.
Are sales taxes included in the displayed product price?
Applicable sales tax is calculated and displayed at checkout before payment. Review the final total, including shipping and tax, before confirming.
What should I do if my payment fails?
Check the details and any request from your bank. If you are unsure whether payment completed, check for confirmation and contact support before making another attempt.
What if my bank shows a charge but I have no confirmation?
Contact us with the email used at checkout and the approximate purchase time. Do not send full card details, card security codes or banking passwords.
Can I change the quantity in my bag?
Yes. Review and adjust your bag before continuing to payment. If you have already paid, contact support promptly so we can check the order status.
Can I cancel after paying?
Email support as soon as possible with your order reference. We will check whether processing or dispatch can still be stopped; cancellation is not guaranteed after dispatch.
Can I correct my email or delivery address?
Contact customer care immediately with your order reference and the correction. Once an order has been dispatched, changes may no longer be possible.
I may have placed two orders. What should I do?
Send both order references, if available, to customer care. We will check the records before advising what can be cancelled or returned.
Shipping & tracking
13 QUESTIONSWhere do you ship?
Our published delivery service covers supported addresses in the United States. If you are unsure about a particular destination, ask customer care before placing an order.
How much does standard shipping cost?
Standard shipping is $5.99 per order. The shipping charge is shown at checkout before payment.
Where are orders dispatched from?
Orders are dispatched from China. Our Washington, DC correspondence address is not the dispatch warehouse.
How long does handling take?
The published handling estimate is 0–1 calendar days, with order processing Monday through Friday. The order cutoff is 3:00pm Eastern Time.
How long is delivery in transit?
The published transit estimate is 2–8 calendar days after dispatch. Delivery estimates are not a guarantee of a specific arrival date.

The current published estimate combines 0–1 days of handling with 2–8 days of transit: approximately 2–9 calendar days. See the Shipping policy for the applicable processing schedule.
What happens if I order after the cutoff?
Orders after 3:00pm Eastern Time, or outside Monday–Friday processing hours, enter the next available processing window.
Do I have to pay import duties separately?
Import duties are included under our published shipping terms. If a carrier asks for an unexpected import payment, contact customer care with the notice.
How do I track an order?
Open Track My Order and use the complete order reference from your confirmation. Use the email address entered at checkout for any secure access request.
Why is tracking not showing movement yet?
A tracking record can exist before the carrier records its first movement. Check again for updates and contact support if the order exceeds the published estimate.
What if the order is late?
Contact customer care with your order reference and the latest tracking information. We will investigate the status and explain the next available step.
Tracking says delivered, but I cannot find the parcel. What now?
Check the delivery location, building reception and anyone who may have accepted it. If it remains missing, contact us with the order reference so we can investigate.
What if I entered an unsupported destination?
Contact support promptly. If a paid order cannot be served, we will arrange a full refund rather than dispatch it to an unsupported address.

Care & customer service
13 QUESTIONSHow should I clean stone bookends?
Start with a soft, dry cloth and follow any product-specific instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners and acidic products that may damage the surface.
How should I clean glass and ceramic objects?
Use a soft cloth and handle carefully. Do not assume an item is dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe or heat-resistant unless the product page expressly confirms it.
Can I put water in every vase?
Do not assume every decorative vessel has been tested for water retention. Check the product details or ask customer care before using it with fresh flowers and water.
How should I care for a wood or hair-on tray?
Keep it away from prolonged moisture and direct heat. Dust gently, and check product-specific advice before applying cleaners or conditioners.
How do I protect furniture under an object?
Use a suitable protective layer where needed and lift objects rather than sliding them. Take extra care with heavy stone and delicate polished surfaces.
What precautions apply to candle holders?
Place them on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable items. Use a suitable candle, never leave a flame unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.
What precautions apply to incense holders?
Use a stable, heat-resistant surface with ventilation and keep combustible materials clear. Never leave burning incense unattended; allow ash and components to cool before handling.
