FAQs

General Questions

  • Besides buying from product drops on the website, there are opportunities throughout the year to buy in-person.

    If you are local to or will be visiting Michigan, check out my Events page for all of the markets and fairs I am going to attend.

    If you have an idea for a custom piece, you can also commission your own work of art by filling out the form on this page.

  • If you see something on my social media that isn't on my website or it says "sold out," it means more work is in production. I work in batches, so once something is gone, it won't be back until I update my shop.

    If you miss a release or are not able to get the piece you wanted, there will be more on the way! I suggest joining my email newsletter to stay up to date on when future work is being released and to be notified as soon as it's available.

  • My intention is to release a new collection of work every 8-12 weeks.

    The ceramic process is long and time intensive, so this is the fastest I can go between collections. If I have special projects or extra work, I will add them to my shop between releases though!

    I keep future release dates/times on my website header and in my Instagram bio | @robynlynnstudios.

  • I do not determine the prices of my work until the very end of production when I see the finished piece. Therefore, I do not give out prices until the shop preview that goes up shortly before a release.

  • I am not taking on wholesale, preorders or customs at this time. Everything included in my releases are available to everyone on a first come, first served basis.

  • Yes! I currently offer two payment plan options:

    Shop Pay Installments- If you already have Shop Pay set up, you’ll have the option to pay the order in full or in four payments. There are no additional charges, interest fees or late fees. This method will not affect your credit score.

    PayPal Credit- This must be set up in advance with an existing PayPal account. You need to be 18 years or older to apply and PayPal will check your credit score. If you would like to use this feature, simply checkout with PayPal and hit the "Pay with PayPal Credit" button when finishing your order.

  • Near the beautiful west coast of Michigan in the United States.

Product Questions

  • The clay I use is Blick Art Materials white stoneware, but may change depending on availability. I use Amaco Velvet, LUG, and Semi-Moist underglazes with a coating of Amaco low-fire clear gloss to finish.

  • Ceramics can last lifetimes if cared for with love! I always recommend gently hand washing immediately after use, although some pieces such as mugs can be put in the dishwasher. I advise avoiding the microwave and oven.

    Please read all info on the individual product page carefully. I will list care recommendations on those pages for more specific information.

Shipping Questions

  • Shipping costs are automatically calculated on your location and USPS Priority weight and size standards.

  • Orders are shipped via USPS Priority which takes 2-4 business days to be delivered domestically. I pack and ship out orders within 3-5 business days.

    It's hard to estimate international orders because your package has to go through customs. Packages will usually move out of the United States within a few days after being shipped, then they are passed onto your local postal service.

  • These are to help cover the costs of packaging materials and upgraded insurance at USPS. Ceramics require more materials than most items, and those costs can add up.

  • I am not currently shipping Internationally. When the option opens up, I'll make an announcement on my Instagram!

  • I package the work very carefully. If your pieces are damaged through transit, please keep the broken item, all of the packaging and get in touch with your local carrier ASAP. You will be able to make a claim for the damaged item through them. I do not have liability for, or offer replacement for lost or broken items, though I will prioritise your request for any new orders when they become available.

    I pack orders very carefully and every piece leaves my hands intact. In the unlikely event that your order arrives damaged, it is *your responsibility* to submit a claim through USPS. I personally pay an extra fee to insure the full value of the order being shipped, so you should be reimbursed entirely.

    International packages receive insurance up to $50. If you would like to add full insurance to your international order, please email me within 12 hours of purchasing so I may add that service before printing labels- this will be an additional cost.

Return Policy

All orders are final sale so I do not accept returns.

Please read the descriptions and look through all the photos available. I put measurements and important details on each page. Remember that colors vary across devices, so your piece may look slightly different when you receive it.

**Due to the nature of every piece being entirely handmade and one of a kind, there may be small imperfections. I will always disclose and show pictures of any imperfections large enough to affect the aesthetic or functionality of a piece.**

Tips For Shopping on Releases:

Join my early access email list!

My early access list members will always be the first to shop new releases before they open to the public. If you are not on the list, there is a much lower chance you will be able to grab the piece you want. 

You can opt in at the bottom of the homepage! On release days, you will receive the password to my website 30 minutes before it is unlocked.  

Set an alarm

High-demand pieces have the potential to sell out quickly. Give yourself a reminder for a few minutes before the release time so you can be ready on my website right when it updates.

*All of my release times are in Eastern Standard Time, please adjust according to the time zone you live in.

Putting an item in your cart does not reserve it

You must complete the *entire* checkout process in order to secure your piece(s). 

Buy one at a time

If you want to get more than one piece, I suggest going through checkout with your first choice and then going back for the next one. 

**I will refund the extra shipping cost for those who place more than one order if the pieces can be safely shipped in one package!

Set up payment and shipping information in advance

If you have an Apple device, Apple Pay is the quickest payment method since it saves and enters all of your information for you. If you have an Android, Google Pay offers the same benefit.

PayPal is also fast if neither of the options above are available to you.

*Please double-check your shipping address after purchasing!*

Once you receive a confirmation email of your order, ensure that the shipping address you entered is correct. Please email me immediately with the correct address if you made an error. I can easily change the address if you email me before I ship your order. I am not responsible for incorrect shipping information.
