Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I receive my fabulous glasses?
All our lovely products are made to order and it takes a little while to get them looking perfect. The timescales for recieving your order will depend on the shipping option you choose at Checkout. You can see more about these options below. Please note that deliveries to Scotland and Northern Ireland may take a few days longer than the timescales stated. Whichever speed you go for we promise all our items are well worth the wait! To keep you informed, you will receive an email as soon as the glasses are picked up by the delivery fairies.

Can I choose the colour of the writing to go on my lovely, sparkly glass?
You certainly can! For most glasses we can offer black, silver or gold writing. If you don't request a specific colour we use whichever colour we think looks best but if you have a preference please just leave a note in the "special instructions" box at the checkout page. But please don't be silly and ask for silver writing on a silver glass!
Can I collect my order?
Yes of course! We are located in Gillingham, Kent. Please select COLLECTION from the range of delivery options offered.
The glasses will stay glitterlicious, won't they?
Yes! The glasses are sealed and waterproof. To keep your glasses in tip-top condition please see our care instructions.
Can the glasses be put in the dishwasher?
A bit like your favourite kitten, we would not recommend it due to the high temperatures. If you've not taken a peek already, have a quick look at our care instructions.
Will my glasses be in one piece when the delivery fairies land?
We use the same delivery fairies as Santa uses at his peak period and therefore they take really good care of your sparkly glasses. Before they leave our factory the glasses are well packed in a box with bubble wrap.
Where's the catch? Are the glasses for "display purposes only"?
No! How dare you say that?!?! All glitter, glue and sealer used are non-toxic and we have tested the glasses on relatives we are not that fond of and they're still standing! :-( You will be following those special care instructions, won't you?
Do i HAVE to pay up front for glittery goodies?
NO!!! Working with our lovely finance partners we have two great solutions for you. Choose Pay in 3 at checkout where PayPal is available, and enjoy the power to split your purchase into three interest-free payments, with no set up fees or charges. (Subject to status. Terms and Conditions apply. UK residents only. PayPal is a responsible lender. Pay in 3 performance may influence your credit score.) It’s a great way to help you stay in control of your budget.
What's all this "Klarna" malarky about then?
Choose Klarna to pay NOTHING when your order, and enjoy 30 days interest free!!!
How does Pay later in 30 days work?
Once your order is confirmed, you'll receive an email with payment instructions within two days from Klarna. You'll then have 30 days to pay for your order. Complete the payment online, at your convenience, with no extra cost. You can pay via credit or debit card at www.klarna.com/uk
Am I eligible for Pay later in 30 days?
To use Pay later in 30 days you must be at least 18. Pay later in 30 days is subject to your financial circumstances. When choosing Pay later in 30 days, Klarna's assessment will not affect your credit rating.
How can I increase my chances of being accepted for Pay later in 30 days?
Klarna is unique and offers Pay later in 30 days based on a number of factors such as the order value, your previous order history and item availability. If you are 18 or over, you can improve your chances of being offered Pay later in 30 days by ensuring you provide your full name and accurate address details and shipping to your registered billing address. All orders are assessed individually. Just because you have had Pay later in 30 days before does not mean it will be offered for every order and in turn, as it is denied does not mean it will be denied for all future orders.
Will a credit search take place against me?
Klarna may run so-called unrecorded or "soft" credit searches but these do not affect your credit score and are only visible to you and Klarna, but not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor The Glitter Emporium run credit searches which could impact your credit rating.
Why have I not been offered Pay later in 30 days?
Although Pay later in 30 days is widely promoted it is not always universally available.

Alternatively, you are able to complete your order by PayPal, credit or debit card at the checkout.
What are my payment options with Klarna?
You can pay with debit or credit card immediately in the checkout or take advantage of our Pay later in 30 days payment option, where you can pay for the goods uo to 30 days after order via credit card or debit card.
