December & Christmas Shipping Schedule

I will be shipping orders on the following dates. Usually any order placed by 10am GMT will be included but some items are made to order (pins, magnets) and may need extra time.

  • Thursday 4th December
  • Monday 8th December
  • Thursday 11th December
  • Monday 15th December
  • Wednesday 17th December - extra shipping day
  • Friday 19th December - last shipping day of 2025
  • Monday 5th January 2026 - shipping resumes

Tracked Upgrades

Tracking is strongly recommended at this time of year for priority during busy times and so that you can check the progress of your package.

In the UK, Royal Mail Tracked 48 usually arrives in 2 working days. Royal Mail Tracked 24 is also available, which aims to deliver next day.

Tracked Airmail is available as an upgrade for international orders, usually arriving in 3-14 working days. Please note that the tracking may not update until it clears customs in your country. For untracked mail, allow up to 6 weeks for delivery. Please see below for information on US Tariffs (now paid upfront) and EU orders (currently closed).

Check the Shipping page for more information on delivery times, shipping costs etc.

Christmas Delivery

Please order as early as possible if you need your items to arrive for Christmas and choose a tracked service. Delays are extremely likely everywhere, due to the increased volumes of Christmas mail.

I am not providing any last order dates this year and no orders are guaranteed to arrive by Christmas. Royal Mail's dates are optimistic at best and should not be relied on. As a general guideline (again, not a guarantee of delivery), please order no later than 17th December in the UK or 4th December internationally.

Christmas Holiday

All orders received by 9pm GMT on Thursday 18th December will be shipped on the 19th. I will then be on holiday and shipping will resume on Friday 5th January 2026. Thanks for your patience!

Order Not Arrived?

If your order has not arrived in the expected timeframe, or is shown as delivered but you have not received it, check my Shipping page for next steps. While I will be answering emails during my time off, I can't arrange replacements or refunds until I return to work on the 5th.

GENERAL UPDATES

UNITED STATES (US Tariffs)

I am now able to re-open shipping to the US. US Tariffs are included in the shipping price, which means they are pre-paid (DDP) before passing through customs and you will have no further fees to pay on delivery. Apologies for the higher costs but these tariffs are set by the US government, not me!

EU, EEA, Switzerland, Türkiye & Northern Ireland (GSPR)

Unfortunately, orders to the above countries are closed until further notice through all my online shops (including Etsy). Apologies to everyone who has ordered previously or follows me but I can't currently justify the additional expense of an EU representative. You can still order through my print-on-demand partners who ship many products from local printers.
