Shipping outside of the UK (EU & International) and how does it work

EU and International orders:
Delivery is charged for one item and increases slightly if multiple items
Customs & excise is charged on all shipments in and out of the UK and applied by the government of the country the parcel is going to. Until the parcel arrives in the destination country, brokerage and customs charges cannot be predicted and will need to be paid for by the customer. Please make sure your address, email and phone number given at checkout is correct. Failure to pay these customs and charges will result in the courier returning the parcel to us. Should this happen your order will be refunded less the postage amount and customs return fees.


Some countries may open parcels as part of random quarantine checks. All products are checked to ensure they are safe for transport to other countries and are also packaged correctly in accordance with guidelines.

Please check all your shipping details before purchase - we cannot be held responsible for incorrect shipping addresses, in particular to work places where items are accepted.

**Please note** We can not be responsible for the misspelling of any personalisation details sent. Please check all details carefully before sending.
Please ensure that the correct address is on either your paypal shipping address or Etsy address.

We are only human, we sometimes make mistakes, if we have made a mistake or you are unhappy in any way please contact us straight away and explain the problem politely. We get disappointed if our products no not meet with your expectations as we take great pride in our work BUT we do not tolerate any rudeness, which I am sad to say has happened in the past.

So please remember, we are human.
