Shipping Information
Order turnaround
I am currently shipping orders on Monday and Thursday mornings, plus occasional additional days during busy times (e.g. Christmas). If you need your item sent quickly or have any other delivery requests, please ask as early as possible (ideally before ordering) and I’ll do my best to help.
Some items have components that require them to be made to order (e.g. pin/brooch backs and magnets). The glue needs to dry for 12-24 hours so you may miss the cut off for the next shipping day.
You will be emailed a shipping confirmation once your order has shipped.
Personal & Public Holidays
Royal Mail do not collect mail on public holidays and I will ship on an alternative date instead. These will be listed on my Shipping Schedule, along with any minor service updates or delays. For major incidents or longer personal holidays, I will add a notice on the cart page before checkout.Delivery Times
UK orders are sent by Royal Mail and usually arrive in 1-5 days.
International orders are sent by Royal Mail Standard Airmail and usually arrive in 5-21 days but can be delayed at customs.
Tracked Delivery
Please choose a tracked service if you need extra peace of mind or want to keep an eye on progress. Orders will be sent by Royal Mail Tracked 24 (UK only) or Royal Mail International Tracked (International). Please note that tracked orders are not dispatched any faster. Tracking may not update quickly or often when things are busy and may only update once it arrives in your country.
Shipping Prices
Shipping is added separately at checkout as "free" shipping means the shipping cost is included in the product price and you will be overcharged for buying multiple items. A table of shipping costs is now available here so you can check the cost of shipping before placing your order. I keep these as low as possible and do not make any profit on shipping.
EU ORDERS - Customers in the 27 EU countries, please use my Etsy shop. From July 1st 2021, Etsy will charge all sales taxes at checkout so that you can avoid paying additional fees on delivery. You may still be charged customs fees/import duty depending on the value and contents - this is set and collected by your government and information will be available on their website. Please join my mailing list to receive special Etsy offers for EU customers.
Last Order Dates For Christmas
I no longer provide last order dates and delivery for Christmas is never guaranteed. Please order as early as possible and choose a tracked service.
Shipping Address
It is your responsibility to provide a correct address and I cannot be held responsible for missing and wrongly delivered orders if you provided incorrect information. Please check your order confirmation email carefully and inform me of any issues as soon as possible. I usually do not see your address until the printed postage label is being applied.
Customs and Duty
You are responsible for all duties/customs fees that may be applied by your country. The customs form will state the accurate value and origin of the items included and will be marked ‘sale of goods’. Please don’t ask me to falsify this information.
Lost or delayed items
If your order has not arrived after 21 working days, please let me know so we can get it investigated. Please check with your household, neighbours, building supervisor, mail room and/or local delivery office first as in most cases you will find it! All packages have my return address displayed so the worst case is usually that they turn up back here. If your order is returned to me as undelivered and you wish it to be re-sent, there may be a re-shipping fee. In some circumstances (e.g. EU orders using IOSS) it may be easier to refund your order so you can place a new one.
Fraud
Shopify checks for fraud as part of the order process. If an order is flagged as possible fraud, I reserve the right to cancel the order and refund in full without explanation. If you think I am making a mistake with your order, feel free to contact me to discuss.
Care of items
Any hand or machine washing of items is done at your own risk, unless clearly stated in the item description. Frequent exposure to rain, strong sunlight, damp etc. should be avoided. All items are created and stored in a smoke and pet-free environment.
Gift Wrapping & Gift Messages
While I do not offer a gift wrapping service, I'm happy to make your order look pretty with patterned paper bags, tissue etc. and add a personal message – just leave a note at checkout or email me. I can only handwrite very short messages - anything longer will be printed by computer. This service is only available when sending the package direct to the recipient.
Returns and Refunds
Please see the returns policy for more information
