TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT POM POM’S ONLINE STORE

This website is operated by Finnish yarn and fabric store Kässäkerho Pom Pom (VAT number FI25200922).

The products are ordered primarily from www.pompom.fi via the shopping cart. The items in your shopping cart are effectively reserved for you only after completing your order.

You must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid email address and phone number when making your order. You are responsible for giving us your accurate billing and shipping information.

All orders are confirmed by email and include the total price of the order, shipping costs and products ordered.

The customer agrees to the terms and conditions when placing an order. The version of terms that will apply to your order will be those on www.pompom.fi at the time you place your order.

All prices are shown in euros (€) and they include Finnish Value Added Tax (VAT) 24% or 10% but exclude shipping costs. If you are ordering from outside the European Union choosing your country at the cart or check out will show the prices without VAT.

All international customers are responsible for their country’s possible customs fees and duties.

Please check the list for the shipping costs below.


PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AND INFORMATION

If the product is in stock, the number of available items is shown below the item price (e.g. 3 varastossa = 3 in stock) or at the drop down menu (e.g. Saatavuus 2 kpl = Availability 2 pc). Items are sold individually, and the price is for one (1).

When ordering fabrics 1 item equals 10 cm of fabric. If you need 2 meters of fabric, add 20 items to the basket.

If you can’t add an item to cart, it is not in stock right now. You can sign up to be notified when an item or a certain color way gets restocked by leaving your email address at the product page.

Kässäkerho Pom Pom is not responsible for invalid price or stock information. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time.

The products listed in the online store are also available at our store in Kuopio, Finland. If a product you ordered has been sold out or is not in stock for other reasons, we will contact you as soon as possible and try to find a suitable replacement.

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear at the store. Please note that the colors may look different on different devices and monitors.

Some of our yarn is hand dyed. Please note that all hand-dyed yarns, even from the same lot, may be different in their color saturation and color variation. When we ship yarns sold via our online store, we try to ensure every skein is from the same dye lot. If this is not possible we make sure that the skeins look as similar as possible.

We recommend striping for every hand-dyed yarn but especially for yarns from two different dye lots.


PLACING AN ORDER

You can place an order in our online store by adding products to the shopping cart (Ostoskori) and proceeding to the check out (Siirry kassalle). If you are ordering from outside the European Union choosing your country at the cart or check out will show the prices without VAT.

The items in your shopping cart are effectively reserved for you only after completing your order. After completing your order by checking out and paying, you will receive an order confirmation email to the email address given in the order form. You should check that the details in this order confirmation are correct, and keep a copy of it.

You will receive a confirmation of shipping via email once your order has been shipped.


SHIPPING AND DELIVERY TIME

All orders will be dispatched only after confirmed payment. We aim to dispatch orders in the fastest possible time and in the order in which they are placed. We process and ship nearly all orders within 1–3 business day (often the same day) if all products ordered are in stock and unless otherwise agreed.

Delivery times are an estimate and not a guarantee. Campaigns, weekends, holidays and shipping delays due to the carrier may affect delivery time.


SHIPPING METHOD & COSTS

All international orders are sent with DHL Express Worldwide which provides a fast, trackable and reliable delivery. Depending on your location your order will arrive within 1–5 days after we have packed and shipped it. Shipping costs include the cost of shipping & packaging.

Customs forms are filled out in accordance with Finnish and international law to accurately reflect value and contents of the package. All international customers are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand, and cannot give you an estimate of the cost – charges vary around the world.

If customs fees and charges are refused at the time of delivery, your order will be returned and you will not receive a refund for shipment and return costs. Also if the order cannot be shipped because of your country’s customs policy and therefore returned, we will not refund you the costs for shipping and returning the parcel.
