At Niko Forge, each piece is made with care, and every order is carefully prepared for shipping. Whether you're purchasing an available item or commissioning something unique, the aim is to ensure your order reaches you safely.

Shipping Destinations

Niko Forge currently offers shipping throughout Ireland and the European Union.

Orders are shipped using An Post, with tracking provided for every parcel.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated individually based on the size, weight and destination of your order.

The applicable delivery charge will be confirmed before you complete your purchase. For custom orders, oversized metalwork or particularly heavy items, a separate shipping quotation may be required.

Order Processing Times

Ready-to-ship items

Products that are available in stock are normally prepared and dispatched within 3–5 working days after your order is confirmed.

Made-to-order and custom pieces

As many Niko Forge products are individually made, production times will vary depending on the design and complexity of the work.

An estimated production timeframe will be provided when discussing your order, with a more specific estimate confirmed before the order is placed.

Please note that production time is separate from shipping time.

Estimated Delivery Times

Once your order has been dispatched, estimated delivery times are:

• Ireland: Up to 7 working days.

• European Union: Up to 14 working days.

These are estimated delivery times rather than guaranteed delivery dates. Delivery may occasionally take longer due to circumstances outside our control.

You will be informed if a significant delay affects your order.

Tracking Your Order

All shipped orders include tracking through An Post.

Once your parcel has been dispatched, you will receive tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Local Collection

Collection may be arranged by appointment.

If you would prefer to collect your order, please get in touch before placing your order to discuss the arrangements.

Lost, Delayed or Damaged Parcels

Where Niko Forge arranges delivery, the goods remain my responsibility until you, or someone you nominate, physically receives them.

Unless a different delivery period has been expressly agreed, goods will be delivered without undue delay and within thirty days of the contract being made. Longer production and delivery periods for pre-orders and custom commissions will be agreed before ordering.

If delivery does not take place within the agreed period, your statutory rights concerning additional delivery time, cancellation and refunds remain unaffected.

Large or Heavy Items

Some forged pieces, including oversized metalwork and heavier items, may require special packaging or delivery arrangements.

Shipping options and costs for these pieces will be discussed and agreed upon individually before the order is confirmed.

International Shipping and Customs

Orders are currently shipped to Ireland and destinations within the European Union.

Where applicable, any import duties, customs charges or local taxes not included in the agreed purchase price are the responsibility of the customer. Any such charges will be explained where known before purchase.

Incorrect Delivery Details

Please ensure that your delivery address and contact information are correct when placing an order.

If you notice a mistake, please get in touch as soon as possible so the details can be corrected before dispatch.

Once an order has been shipped, address changes may not be possible.

Lost, Delayed or Damaged Parcels

Every order is carefully packaged to protect it during transit.

If your parcel arrives damaged, please contact Niko Forge by email, preferably within 14 days of receiving it. Include your order number, a description of the issue and photographs of the item and packaging where possible.

If your order is delayed or has not arrived within the expected timeframe, please get in touch so the delivery can be investigated.

Any delivery issues will be handled in accordance with your applicable consumer rights. The requested reporting period does not limit your statutory rights.
