Frequently Asked Questions

Product information

What Makes Wentworth Wooden Jigsaws so Special?

The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company has been producing exquisitely crafted wooden jigsaw puzzles since 1994 and has become known for its quality & design.

Our skilled design team produces each cut most of which include our famous unique themed whimsy jigsaw pieces. Whimsies are specially shaped pieces cut into puzzles on a whim by Victorian hand cutters and Wentworth are one of the only companies still producing these unique puzzles. From nature to music, from stately homes to the beach, from gardens to vintage transport, we have a cut pattern to suit most requirements. 

Wentworth offer exquisite high quality puzzles ranging from 30 to 1,500 pieces, whether you are a beginner or an experienced puzzler there is something for you.

We can turn your own paintings, drawings and photographs, or one of our huge range of stock images, into puzzles using over 700 themed cut patterns to make the perfect jigsaw for yourself or as a unique gift.

What does Maxi, Mega Magnum, Millenium and Majestic Mean?

Our puzzles come in various sizes, within some of these there are variations for example fewer pieces and some without whimsies; this detail is always within the product description under

What is 'The Whimsy'?

Wentworth Wooden Jigsaws produce a catalogue called 'The Whimsy' three times a year. This contains the latest exciting new images, products, news and offers for our customers to browse through and order. 

You can request a catalogue online, call us on +44 (0)1666 840033, or e-mail us at customerservice@jigsaws.co.uk, and we will add you to our mailing list!

Can I download your latest catalogue?

Yes! We have a selection of Whimsies for you to download, click here.

Can I chose what cut pattern my puzzle has?

Currently we are unable to offer this facility. We always match cut patterns to the theme of a puzzle and have over 700 cuts available so you should never be disappointed. If you have a particular request we will try our best to accommodate it, please add any special requests to the 'order comments' box when placing your order online. We always try not to duplicate cuts you may have already received. 

If you are after something really special and want a personalised cut we offer this with our Platinum Puzzles.

What is a Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw made from?

Our puzzles are made from a specially developed wooden board called Medite PremierTM, all taken from sustainable sources.

Can we visit Wentworth and see how the puzzles are made?

Yes! We usually have two open days per year when you can come and see how we do what we do, and of course pick up some bargains!

What if I can't find an image I like?

We are continually adding new images but if you can't find a suitable image then why not create aPersonal Puzzle using your own photo? 

You can also view a random selection of images from our collection here.

Can I decide whether to have an image on the box or not?

Yes, simply tick/untick the Clueless? option as required after selecting the size of puzzle you want to order. Ticking the Clueless? option means that your puzzle will arrive without the puzzle image on the front of the box making it a suprise or more difficult!

Please note that some items are not available as Clueless, details will be within the products description.

I have lost a few pieces from my puzzle, can you replace them?

Sadly we can't provide replacement pieces, please call us on +44 (0)1666 840033, or e-mail us atcustomerservice@jigsaws.co.uk, if you have a query and we will try and put you in touch with someone who can help.

Can I have any image in any size of puzzle?

Most images are available in most sizes, however some puzzles feature special cut patterns or limited editions that might not, sizes available are shown on our website within the products description. If you need any further help or advice please call us on +44 (0)1666 840033, or e-mail us at customerservice@jigsaws.co.uk and we will try to help.

Why doesn't my puzzle look the same colour as the image I saw on my computer screen?

The colour output when we produce puzzles may vary from what you see on your computer screen as every screen is different and will produce a different result; some variance should be expected but acceptable.

Do you have a retail outlet?

Unfortunately we do not have a retail outlet that stocks all our puzzles. You will find some of our puzzles at various outlets across the country in places such as Harrods in London and also lots of National Trust properties stock our puzzles of own images.

The best way to access our entire range is via our website, you can also request a catalogue online and order over the phone.

Personal Puzzles

I am having problems uploading my personal puzzle image, what's wrong?

Some image files are too big to be uploaded, if you are experiencing problems simply e-mail your image to images@jigsaws.co.uk and include your name, address, telephone number and what size puzzle you want to order and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have multiple large images you can also post them to us on a disc, please ensure you include contact details and write on the disc so we are able to identify you.

What size of photo do you need for a personal puzzle?

A good resolution image is the key to producing a great puzzle. Generally digital images produce the best results; a resolution of 300dpi is optimum. 
If you are sending us an original photograph we get the best results from 5x7" prints. 

Please note that some cropping will occur when we cut your puzzle, approximately 5mm all round. Please take this into consideration when submitting your image especially if you have an image tightly cropped around a person or object.

We check all personal images before proceeding with an order but if you are unsure then please call us on +44 (0)1666 840033, or e-mail us at customerservice@jigsaws.co.uk for advice, we are happy to help. We will always contact you if we have any concerns with the quality of reproduction.

I'm from outside the UK, do I still pay VAT?

No, however, all our prices are fixed, the price you see is the price you pay and if you are from outside the UK this price does not include VAT.

Why is it cheaper on postage for me to order puzzles separately than together?

In some instances it may be cheaper to order puzzles separately when they are being shipped outside the UK. 

This is because we use both the Royal Mail and Parcelforce for shipping goods. Using the Royal Mail for shipping can only be used on smaller parcels meaning larger parcels containing multiple items have to be shipped via our courier service Parcelforce. Using a courier service outside mainland UK is considerably more expensive and this is why shipping prices for larger orders are much higher.

Should you wish to place multiple orders for one destination, in turn paying less shipping, then this is fine but please note your items will be despatched separately and may not arrive at the same time.

Do your prices include postage and packing?

No, all prices quoted exclude postage and packing.
