Slip can not freeze, and all small package carriers refuse to warrant their shipments against freezing damage. Therefore, it is recommended that slip NOT be shipped during the winter season if the day time high temperature, at Dogwood Ceramic Supply's location, the location of the customer, or the Jackson Mississippi UPS servicing hub is below 28°F.

Basic packaging fee of $2.25 will be assessed on all UPS orders that are boxed for shipment by Dogwood Ceramic Supply. This fee covers the cost of the first box used in packing the shipment and the administrative costs of prepaying the UPS charges. In addition, a handling fee of $1.00 per gallon of Seeley's Porcelain Slip will apply. These fees will be included within the UPS charges on your invoice.

Please note, even with the additional packaging material, including double boxing and Styrofoam box liners, there is no guarantee for the safe arrival of any slip product as the internal bottle holding the liquid slip may be stressed, compressed, or even punctured during the shipping process. Historically, Dogwood Ceramic Supply's damage rate for slip shipped via UPS is less than 1% of all boxes shipped. Even with this relatively low damage rate, slip is shipped at the risk of the purchaser. In the event a gallon of porcelain is damaged in shipping, neither UPS nor Dogwood Ceramic Supply will honor any claim for product replacement or refund.
