Shipping FAQ’s

Delivery Times.

Please keep in mind that each item is hand crafted to order and usualy takes 3-5 working days to make.

After your order has been carefully hand crafted, the delivery period can vary depending on your location. See below for guidance on delivery times.

Domestic Delivery Times

Estimated delivery times are based on 3 - 5 working days to hand craft your item plus shipping times. So for example items shipped to the uk will take 3-5 days to produce and 3 - 5 days for delivery. meaning the delivery window is 6 - 10 Working Days after placing the order.

United Kingdom: 6-10 business days

International Delivery Times

North America: 9-16 business days

Europe: 7-16 business days

Australia, New Zealand and Oceania: 10-20 business days

Asia Pacific: 10-20 business days

Germany:

Unfortunately due to issues and lengthy delays at German Customs as a result of Brexit, we are not accepting orders for Germany at this time.

This is not a decision that has been taken likely, as we have some wonderful German customers. However, shipping to Germany over the past few months has seen lengthy delays, upwards of 6 weeks on deliveries and multiple lost items.

We do not feel it is fair for customers to have to wait that long for their items. This combined with the large volumes of losses, the decision has been made to stop orders to Germany for the present time.

I'm very sorry for the Inconvenience.

We do our best to meet these delivery estimates, but can't guarantee them. Actual delivery time will depend on the delivery method you choose.

Tracking

Tracking is NOT standard in the UK. For those customers wanting tracking on their items, this is offered as an optional extra at checkout. There are two shipping options:

1/ Standard delivery - Untracked, proof of delivery only (This keeps the cost down for buyers, especially for international customers).

2/ Tracked and signed - Offers Tacking and signature on Delivery for an additional fee at checkout.

Unfortunately, I can not provide tracking details or add tracking to orders after they have been shipped. If you require tracking please make sure you select it at checkout.
