Description

This custom hourglass is handcrafted from solid birdseye maple grown in the United States. Creamy white with a hint of reddish brown in color, the wood is figured with many small swirls resulting in circular "eyes" that are separate from each other. This hourlgass was selected by QVC for nationwide broadcast where 120 of these beautiful sand timers sold out in 4 minutes!

As with all wood each piece will vary slightly in graining and color making each hourglass unique. Hourglasses are handmade so sizes are approximate.

6X10 SIZE CAN ALSO BE ORDERED WITH 30 MINUTE, 45 MINUTE OR 50 MINUTE GLOBE, 8x12 SIZE WITH 90 MINUTE GLOBE - PLEASE CALL FOR PRICING **6x10 SIZE ALSO AVAILABLE WITH WHITE, DARK BLUE, YELLOW, PINK OR GREEN SAND - click here**

IMPORTANT: Signature Collection hourglasses are sent insured. If you are not there to sign for it the package will be taken to your local post office for pickup and you will have a week to do so. Unclaimed packages are sent back to us which will result in extra shipping charges.

Shipping Information

Shipping is included to all our Continental U.S. customers (extra shipping will apply to Alaska and Hawaii). Our Signature Collection hourglasses are made when ordered and are shipped Insured, Priority Mail and generally arrive in 7-10 business days from time of order. Since they are insured your postal carrier may require a signature. If you are not there to sign for it and it stays at the post office for more than a week it will be sent back to us resulting in higher shipping costs. Please enter your shipping address carefully. If any address corrections are necessary after shipment customers will be charged the corrections fee.

Due to the much higher cost of shipping outside the United States, shipping costs will be charged to our international customers.As with all international orders there will be customs fees upon delivery. If you refuse to pay the customs fees upon delivery the hourglass will get shipped back to us and you will be responsible for all shipping charges and restocking fees.

I'm sorry we cannot except returns for buyers remorse for the 11x25" sizes.

01-Nov-11 Hourglass Kit - Horrible, by Pk from ma

Comments:

The kit is not easy to assemble. The pieces do not fit together nicely, no matter how hard you try to get them together. Sand other than the sand that comes with it does not fit, although it was stated that it would. A bow does not hold the glass piece up when using during the ceremony. You also do not get a funnel and you have to find one that fits perfectly.

Service Comments:

I spoke directly with someone about wanting COLORED sand in my globe. It was stated that the sand would be tan. I had stated that we wanted the sand to be able to measure out the correct amount needed for one hour but that we would replace it with colored sand. We were told that ANY colored sand from a craft store would work. To our surprise, DURING our wedding, we learn that the sand does not fit and it became backed all at the top. When addressing the issue, the woman stated that it was my fault because we were supposed to use the sand it came with. We had specifically stated we wanted to use colored sand but wanted the tan sand to JUST measure out the amount we needed. For such an expensive item, it was more work and a hassle than planned. I would have loved for it to be less stressful on and after our wedding day. The pieces still do not fit together and we had to dye the sand to make it work. I would not suggest this "kit" to anyone.

BOTTOM LINE

No, I would not recommend this product to a friend.
