Shipping and Packaging

Packaging

Please note that I primarily use recycled packaging. I just cannot bring it over myself to throw away packaging that could be reused again, and unnecessarily add more garbage to our landfills. If this is a problem for you and you would prefer new packaging, or you're buying something from my shop as a gift, please choose the gift wrap option ;)

​

Processing time

The time I need to prepare an order for dispatch varies but I aim to dispatch within 3 working days.

​

Customs and import taxes

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.

International Postage Charges (US explained)
I get a lot of questions from American customers regarding my international postage charges which is why I'm now explaining them here now to help you guys understand that I don't earn anything on these rates ;)
The absolute cheapest rate for tracked postage to the US is £20.80 if it's under 1kg incl packaging (USD 28.50), otherwise it's straight away £24.80 = USD 34.00. However, I "only" charge £24.90 *flat fee* regardless of weight and number of items = USD 29.63. In most cases this means I need to fork out money out of my one pocket to make up the difference and I therefore cannot reduce the postage charges I'm afraid.
There is no other service like by boat. All parcels are sent by plane and this is a standard economy service, not express.
If there was a cheap reliable option I would offer it, but I've literally checked and tried everything, from Fedex, UPS, DPD, Hermes, Royal Mail, Parcelforce and DHL, and the only affordable and reliable option is Royal Mail.
