Custom order terms

These terms are for pieces Flink designs and makes to order for you: anything quoted from a custom enquiry, or a shop piece made to your own sizes. They sit alongside your rights under New Zealand law, which they don't take away.

Your quote

  • Your concept and quote is valid for 30 days. Ply prices move, so after that we'll check it again.
  • Flink isn't registered for GST, so no GST is charged. The price on your quote is the price you pay.
  • Sizes on the concept are what we'll make to, within about 1 mm.

Paying

  • A 50% deposit starts your job. The balance is due before pickup or delivery, and the piece is released once it's paid.
  • You pay through Shopify's secure checkout, from the link in your quote email.

Design and sign-off

  • Once the deposit is in, we draw your piece up properly and send it to you to sign off before anything is cut.
  • One round of changes is included. Changes after you've signed off, or that change the size or the work, may cost extra; we'll tell you what before we do them.
  • Your lead time starts from the deposit and your sign-off, not from the quote.

If you change your mind

When you cancel What you get back
Within 48 hours of paying, before design work has started The whole deposit
After design work has started, before cutting The deposit, less a design fee of 20% of the quote
Once cutting has begun The deposit is non-refundable: it has paid for your materials and machine time

If we can't make your piece, or can't make it as agreed, you get your money back.

Plywood is a natural material

  • Birch ply varies in grain, colour and the odd knot, and no two sheets are the same. That's part of the look, not a fault.
  • Paint colours on a screen won't match the real thing exactly. Ask us for a sample if the colour matters.

Pickup, delivery and storage

  • Once your piece is picked up or delivered, it's yours to look after.
  • We'll keep a finished, paid-for piece for 14 days. After that we may charge for storage.
  • Installation isn't included unless your quote says so. Wall fixings depend on your wall, so check with us if you're unsure.

If something's wrong

  • If there's a fault in the materials or our workmanship, tell us and we'll put it right. Your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act always apply.
  • Not covered: misuse, wear and tear, indoor pieces used outdoors, or changes made after it left us.
  • If you're buying for a business, the Consumer Guarantees Act doesn't apply to your purchase, as far as the law allows it to be agreed.

Designs, logos and photos

  • Flink keeps the design of what we make for you.
  • If you send us a logo or artwork, you're telling us you have the right to use it.
  • We may photograph your finished piece for our portfolio. Just say if you'd rather we didn't.
