Shipping, Cancellation and return policy

This policy applies to all purchases made at Educational Maps (www.educational-maps.com). It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with this policy. By placing an order for any of our item(s), you indicate that you have read this policy and agree with and fully accept the terms of this policy.

If you do not agree with or fully accept the terms of this return and shipping policy, we ask that you do not place an order with us.

Delivery 

Most orders are processed within [2-3] business days. Your order will usually arrive within [2-3] days. As soon as we have handed over your order to our carrier, you will receive a shipping confirmation by e-mail. 

If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days. Please allow additional days in transit for delivery. If there is a significant delay in the shipment of your order, we will contact you via email or telephone. Orders placed on a Saturday, Sunday, or Public Holiday will not be dispatched until the next working day. 

Delays

We will ensure that item(s) are completed and delivered within the estimated lead time advised at the time of purchase. However, delays occasionally arise due to production or shipping issues out of our control. If a delay occurs, we will let you know the new confirmed delivery date; however, this does not mean you have the right to cancel your order if it is beyond the estimated time frame.

Risk of Loss

All items purchased are made under a shipment contract with our couriers. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items passes to you upon delivering your order to our couriers. Please contact us if you do not receive your order within 20 working days from the date of dispatch. We request that you contact us as soon as possible and within 45 days of placing your order. We cannot track your order or provide any reimbursement if you contact us outside of this time frame.  

My delivery is damaged, what can I do?

If you have received a defective item, please email us within 48 hours of delivery and attach pictures of the damaged item so that the damage can be checked. Please do not dispose of the item until you have heard back from us. No complaint can be considered unless clear proof can be given that the item(s) are faulty or damaged.

Change your Mind (Cooling Off)

Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, you have a cooling-off period of 14 “working days” during which you are entitled to cancel your purchase if, for any reason, you decide you no longer want the item from the date the contract is concluded (i.e., the date we send our Order Confirmation email). You can return your items within 14 days, and it must be returned as new and in their original packaging. Please contact us to confirm the cancelation. You will need to repackage the goods in the original packaging and send them to us.

Amendments and orders made in error

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email to the e-mail address you placed your order with. However, this also means that if your order has already been dispatched, we are unable to amend or cancel the order.

If you have placed an order in error or made a mistake on the order, you need to contact our Customer Services team as soon as possiblewithin one hour of the order being placed, to let us know to amend or cancel the order before it is dispatched. 

If your order has already been dispatched, we are unable to amend or cancel the order until you have returned the order to us.
