How to find the web shop and the courses
The web shop is situated in a residential area and open by appointment only. If you wish to come and visit you are always welcome to give Arendse a call and make sure she is in for you.
Please find 322 Rope Street, SE16 7TY and your route of travel on maps.google.co.uk, GPS or any other detailed London map.
By car: 322 is along the dock and over the bridge towards the end of Rope Street just 100 m from River Thames and Greenland Pier. Parking is plentiful and free. Traffic in the one ways system around Surrey Quays can be really bad at peak hours as there is road works taking place throughout 2009.
By tube: Surrey Quays Tube Station is closed until 2010 due to engineering works. Canada Water on the Jubilee Line is then the nearest tube station but still a 20 minute walk away. Please bring a map for your walk in the docks.
By boat: The Thames Clippers pulls in at Greenland Pier situated at the end of Rope Street. We are just 100 m up the road from the pier. This is a very convenient and exciting way of traveling and also the easiest way to find us but it is also rather expensive - £5.00 from Embankment to Greenland. Make sure you check the time table at thamesclippers.com before you go.
Terms and conditions
How to order kits and supplies from the web shop
Please place your order
1) on the website and pay via Paypal
2) to send your order along with a cheque made payable to VIVA mosaics Ltd.
If you find the Paypal buttons do not work properly you can still order via Paypal. Go to “Send Money” in Paypal and send us the total amount including £5.99 for the postage. Carefully type in your order and the delivery address in the email you can send with your “Send Money” request and that’s it!
Postage and packing
Orders are usually shipped within 2-3 working days hours on a 48 hour service with Parcelforce.
Please contact Arendse for Express Delivery.
Our principle is that P&P shall be charged at cost price.
The default setting for postage is £5.99 on the web site and that will take your order up to 30 kg anywhere in UK Zone 1 (England, Wales and parts of Scotland excluding Highlands & Islands). This is infact less that the cost price but we do not feel we can charge more than that. Orders of more than 30 kg or bulk that will have to go in two boxes will also have to be charged as such.
Orders of less than 0.99 kg gross weight cost us less to send, and thus you can pay accordingly by placing your order over the phone on +44(0)2073 949719.
If you want to order from UK Zone 2 (Highlands & Islands of Scotland), UK Zone 3 (Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Isle of Scilly) or the rest of Europe, please contact us BEFORE placing the Paypal order for information on postage for deliveries outside of UK Zone 1.
Recycling
VIVA’s policy with regards to the environment is as green as possible. We recycle as much packaging as we can inside out: boxes, wraps and fillers. Hence the parcel may not look as good as it could when you receive it or be as delicious as we would have liked it to be to unpack it; but obviously the actual goods are the same as the packaging make no difference to them. Using recycled packaging also helps to keep the cost down for you, it is expensive enough as it with the postage charges these days. When we have to buy packaging in we spend the extra money on biodegradable bubble wrap, loose fill etc.
Prices in the web shop
Prices and stock in the mosaic web shop may change without notice. If a price on the web site is obviously wrong VIVA mosaics Ltd may refuse to process the order. If VIVA mosaics Ltd is not able to process your order right away for any reason (out of stock, additional postage, error in price) we will get back to you by e-mail and eventually return your money in the unlikely case that satisfactory arrangements can not be made for customer and VIVA mosaics Ltd.
