Delivery, Packaging and Returns
Delivery
In order to keep costs down as much as possible, Blackrock Bricks relies on the standard global postal service. After researching costs with various couriers, the postal service turned out to be the cheapest. However, we can still offer express/registered shipping with this option, so all needs should be covered.
Below are some sample postage rates as a guide, based on 1 specific product in your basket/order. The cost is based on weight, but thankfully is not linear... so ordering 2 items doesn't necessarily result in twice the figure below, it should hopefully be less.
All prices are in Euro

Packaging
At Blackrock Bricks, we do our best to minimise our impact on the environment, so every effort has been made to exclude single-use plastics from the whole ordering process. All our products come in lovely, re-usable, sealable bags, made from a combination of paper and a small plastic window. As mentioned, the bag is re-usable, even for food, so hopefully that alleviates the small amount of plastic contained within.
Instructions come via a QR code link on the bag. This is an effort to save paper, avoiding printing instructions which might only be read once and lost over time. This also helps to reduce the final cost of the product to you, the consumer.
Orders are wrapped in simple, recyclable brown paper, with the address printed on a postage label, affixed to the front. While it might not look the most professional, it avoids the usage of single-use plastic postage bags.
Returns
All purchases are entitled to a refund if requested within 14 days of receipt, assuming all parts are present and in good condition when you return them; you then have a further 14 days to send the item back to Blackrock Bricks, at your own expense. You can contact us via the contact form, stating your original order number.
