EU IMPORT CHARGES

Since July 2021 we have been part of a new E.U. VAT system. In short, this means that you will not receive any additional charges on shipments valued at 150 euro or under. The checkout price that you see includes all costs. 

We are shipping all orders as normal but please understand that overseas delivery times are not as fast as usual, as a result of the ongoing pandemic around the world. Orders shipped without tracking may take as long as 4 weeks, potentially longer. We strongly recommend paying a little more and opting to have a tracking number, you will see this option on checkout. We will do our utmost to ship heavier orders with a courier (UPS etc) to ensure a speedier delivery.

 

DELIVERY PREFERENCES

Please be aware that requesting a contactless delivery from a courier, ie asking for a parcel to be left outside or in a safe place, is the responsibility of the customer. Any damage that occurs as a result of this request is not due to neglect on our part. In this situation we are unable to make any claim for the parcel, should it to go missing or get damaged. Therefore we are not able to replace the affected items. 


SHIPPING

We aim to dispatch orders within 2-3 working days, unless UK Special Delivery is chosen. Delivery time after that varies with your chosen method of shipping.

Our packing supplies are biodegradable boxes, envelopes & bubble wrap.

We do not make profit from our P&P, all prices are based on current Royal Mail guidelines. VAT is added onto the postage costs for UK & Europe. Consequently the amount seen on your parcel may differ from the amount you were charged.

Charges are calculated automatically when you check out. If you have any questions about shipping then please ask and we can help.


COLLECT FROM STORE

You can collect from our London store by choosing this option on checkout. When your order is ready for collection we will contact you to let you know. Collection is available Mon to Sat from 12-6, please let us know if you need to pick up outside of these hours & we will do our best to accomodate.


UK SHIPPING

1st Class: We aim to send all 1st class orders within 3 working days of the order being placed. Typically it will then arrive the next day but can take longer.

Royal Mail evaluate shipping price on size & weight. Occasionally some items will travel without tracking. This flexibility allows us to keep postage prices as low as possible without actually affecting the speed with which you receive them.

It is standard practice for all orders over £35 to travel with tracking.

Upgrade to Special Delivery for a speedier arrival. Orders placed before 3pm will arrive next day, except those placed on Saturday which can only ship on Monday to arrive on Tuesday. There is no postal service on a Bank Holiday monday, so any orders will ship the next day.
