All international orders are sent with DHL Express.

International shipping is set as flat rates, calculated at checkout based on the total weight of your order and region of residence.

(Note) ¹ International customers will be responsible for payment of all duties or taxes imposed by the destination country. 

(Note) ² Shipping is calculated into these flat rate categories based on the total volumetric weight of the items (not the weight of the products listed on the product pages).

International orders may incur additional fees and duties as required by the destination country. The responsibility for all customs duties, taxes or other fees imposed on consignments rests solely with the customer. 

In the event that shipments are undeliverable due to the refusal of any import fees as determined by your customs office, shipments will be abandoned on-site due to non-payment of customs charges. 

Import threshold and relative charges are determined by your destination country based on the contents and value of each consignment. You may be required to pay these before receiving your order, or they may be charged to you at a later date. Fees of this nature are solely the receiver's responsibility, and Softedge Studio will not be liable for the payment of such charges under any circumstance.

Duty-free imports may apply to some orders irrespective of value if there is a Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the destination country. This is because all ceramic products offered on our website are made in Australia from Australian raw materials. If the destination country's customs require a Statement of Origin to permit duty-free entry, don't hesitate to contact us with your order number.  

In the event of a redirection back to sender due to ant situations aforementioned, additional shipping fees will be charged to the receiver prior to the order being redelivered. Any refunds issued in association with such occurrences will be made less any freight, customs or import charges.

Our pieces are produced in small batches or made-to-order. This means that the items in stock at any time are limited.

We send a newsletter whenever an item is restocked, or we are opening up made-to-order. Scroll down to sign up & stay in the loop.

Made-to-order production times can range from 6-12 weeks, depending on the product. Expected dispatch date on individual product pages at the time of purchase. These timeframes are indicative and may be subject to change due to circumstances outside our control, such as supply chain issues and natural disasters.

Each softedge piece is hand-crafted from Australian clay in our Northern NSW studio. Irregularities in colour, glaze and surface result from the inevitable human touch received during the making process and should be embraced.

Porcelain and stoneware can withstand high temperatures; however, sudden temperature changes are likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage and crack ceramics over time. Always place very hot items onto wood, cork or cloth, and let them cool naturally.

Due to the irregular forms of our designs, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or non-abrasive utensil to avoid scratching—this will prolong the life of our pieces and maintain glaze integrity as the years roll by.

Please refer to the care instructions provided with your order or get in touch if you have any questions.

Porcelain Pieces

Rolled Rim Dinnerware

We have a simple approach to sustainability –  our designs are intended to be timeless & resist trends. We hope our customers care for each piece in their collection and that they are passed down through the generations. 

During the making process, we avoid plastics wherever possible, and whether it be clay or cardboard, we carefully reuse, recycle and reclaim materials throughout our operations. In addition, we are always looking for ways to make our firings more energy efficient and our products more sustainable without compromising on quality. These combined processes can slow the production pace,  but we think it’s worth the wait. 

We have always aimed to connect with you, the individual, directly online as a way of delivering our designs at a fair price based on expenses, materials and labour, and not on markups, margins or marketing budgets. As such, we do not currently have any stockists.
