  Robin's Dockside Shop is only an on-line store, however we do delivery to local customers on occasion to save shipping costs and time.

Our line of nautical brass items are the finest we can procure.   Most of our nautical brass items are hand machined and made in India by skilled craftsmen.   The linens and throw pillows are hand made by a couple of local seamstress in the United States.  The quilts are hand quilted and come from China.  We have carefully scrutinized and selected only the best of these items from our suppliers to make available to our customers.   Most of the items on this web site are things that we own ourselves in our homes and have aboard our boat.
 

 

All of our brass and copper items are of solid brass and copper.   There are no cheap tinplate items in our inventory that tarnish easily and cannot be re-polished.   We use a polishing compound that coats the brass and copper to a high luster and leaves a coating that prevents tarnish for several months. 

 

We take great pride in each piece that we have on our shelves and we do our utmost to provide our customers with the highest level of service that we can.   We treat each customer as we would like to be treated ourselves.

For those who would just rather call and order over the phone to a live person, our main number is (410) 609-4044   
Our recent migration from PayPal to a more secure merchant account with Metro Bank now allows us to take credit card orders over the phone.

We are always will be glad to hear from you at any time during normal business hours, and thanks for visiting our shop on-line.

We urge you to join our Mailing List to receive the semi-monthly Newsletter that is generated and sent via e-mail to everyone on that list.  By doing so you will have some fun reading as well as being notified of our new items and sale items.


  Shipping:
 

All of our items are shipped in double boxes.  The item is packaged in either a white or craft box that is suitable for wrapping for gift giving.  That box then is packed in a shipping box and packaged carefully against breakage.   Should an item arrive broken, please contact Robin's Dockside Shop at once.  We ship most packages UPS Ground or USPS Priority Mail and the contents are insured for the value of each item. PLEASE allow at least 7 - 10 business days for delivery of all items.  However, if we have your item in stock it will ship the next day after your order is placed.

 

When we ship an item an e-mail is generated informing the customer of the date of shipment, the date of expected delivery and the tracking number.   Therefore, you always know where your shipment is and when it is due to arrive at your door.  Again, PLEASE allow at least 7 - 10 business days for delivery but it may be faster than this if possible.


  Free Shipping:   We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $150.00 within the United States ONLY with the exception of the original works of art by Harve de Grace artist Liz Arango-Howshall.  Overseas customers PLEASE expect a call or E-Mail from us regarding extra shipping charges.  If the Shopping Cart charges you shipping when you should not have been charged, or some other error occurs, you will be refunded that shipping charge back to your credit/bank card.  If you have any questions regarding this process, please call or send us an e-mail. 

  Returns:
 

Robin's Dockside Ship warrants each item to perform as expected and to have the appearance and luster that it appears to have on our site or in our store.   If you are not happy with the item, please contact us for an RMA number or just verbal consent for return. However, there is a 15% Restocking Fee on ALL returned items, unless damaged.

 

Also Note: Items that are special ordered or items that have been altered per customer request cannot be returned unless damaged. This includes items that have been lacquer coated and oil lamps that are converted to electric light.  These processes alter the item with a non-removable hard coating or have been drilled to install electric light kits.  Items that have been special ordered cannot be returned unless some verbal agreement has been reached prior to placing the order.

 

Damaged items: Occasionally items are damaged in shipment.  If you receive a damaged item it is the responsibility of the customer to call the US Postal Service and report the damage and start a claim for reimbursement.  You should also inform Robin's Dockside Shop of the problem as we can facilitate the claim.

 

DO NOT simply return a damaged item to Robin's Dockside Shop. The US Postal Service or UPS will need to pick up the damaged items from the customer and NOT Robin's Dockside Shop.

 

Robin's Dockside Shop is primarily concerned with customer satisfaction.  If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return it to us for a refund, minus a 15% restocking Fee plus the shipping cost (if any)  Due to the shipping times and distances, some allowances have been made concerning returns.  Therefore, you have 10 days from the date you received the item to return it to us for a full refund.   Your refund will be credited back to your credit / bank card or sent to you in the form of a cashier's check if that is not possible to do.  Please allow 10 days from the date of the return for that check to be mailed out to you.


  Engraving:

Robin's Dockside Shop now has engraving available on request.

Our engraving orders are done by a small local shop that has been in business many years and specializes in etching and engraving.  They can generally engrave on any item that has a flat surface.  Curved items cannot be done.

Engraving example

   However, they can make small plaques that can bend to fit a curved surface.  Plaques or name plates are available in 3 colors.  The standard BRASS with BLACK Lettering.  SILVER TONE aluminum with BLACK Lettering and BLACK BRASS with BRASS Lettering.  Prices are .45 per letter plus $3.00 for the brass plaque.  Please send us an E-Mail with the text that you wish on the plaque and then call us or leave a phone number where you can be reached to discuss your needs.  Click here to order.
