How long before I get my stuff?

We target within two weeks. As we are a very small business, we don’t tie our funds up in stock. This means we often print / make to order. It also means we can invest money to create more artwork, develop & design more kits and sewing pieces, and plan lessons.

When we post out the item we will email you the proof of postage so you can see it is on the way.

If there is a delay in our processes (eg: sickness) or a delay caused by external factors (eg: storms, strikes) we will be in contact asap and will continue to keep you informed.

Can I collect instead of pay for postage?

Absolutely! Go through the checkout process and there is an option to collect. Once the order has gone through, please email anna@baddave.co.uk to arrange collection.

Note: we do not deliver locally.

Do you ship internationally?

• This is in development. Please contact us with your query.

Can I use your kits to make products to sell?

Our kits have design elements unique to Bad Dave and thus are our Intellectual Property. If you want to use our kits to make products to sell legally, please contact us for terms and costs.

Note: if your child is wanting to make items to sell for charity, please do contact us and we’ll see what we can do to support their efforts without cost impact.

Do you take commissions?

The only commissions we take are for large orders or fabric changes as in the below two questions.

We do not design items or produce artwork on commission.

Can I customise an item/can I change the fabric?

We do not personalise items. We only customise sewing kits / sewn items fabric choices. Note that this option will extend delivery time due to the additional communication time needed.

Option 1: For fewer than 10 items

• Let us know the colours you want and we will share images of what we have in those colours in the appropriate fabric for the item you want us to make.
• We will only use our own fabric and will not source fabric specifically for this type of order.
• We do not ship fabric samples.
• You confirm which if our fabrics to use and we will make the item and ship it to you.
• Note that this option will extend delivery time due to the additional communication time needed.

Option 2: For more than 10 items

• Please contact us to start the conversation, letting us know what item(s) you want, how many and by when.
• We will advise on the type of fabric, and amount of fabric(s), you need to buy and ship to us.
• We will also advise on timescales to make a largescale order.
• Please allow six weeks minimum to complete this process and get the item posted to you. This gives you time to source the fabric and us time to make many items.

Can I buy a lot of the same item for Wedding/Party favours?

• Absolutely! Contact us to start the conversation. The process is listed directly above this question under ‘Can I customise and item?’.
