Shipping and Returns

Do you offer free postage?

We would love to be able to offer free postage to all our customers but, as a small business, sadly, we are unable to offer this at the moment without a minimum spend of £50.

What are the postage costs?

If you spend £50 or more, your order will qualify for our free postage. Under this amount we do charge for postage. We use the Royal Mail prices and add on an extra £1.00 to cover our packaging materials. Our postage costs are:

  • Tracked 48 with Royal Mail - £4.39

  • Tracked 24 with Royal Mail - £5.19

We can also arrange in person collection at any event or makers market we are attending. Details of these can be found here.

Postage to Scottish Highlands and Islands, Channel Islands and Ireland may be excluded or incur different postage charges and will be calculated on checkout.

All shipping methods are tracked and you will receive SMS, email notifications and delivery updates to the contact details you provide. If you are not available to receive your order, you can instruct the driver to leave your parcel in a safe place, deliver to a neighbour or a pick up shop. Details of options are available via your tracking email and text notification.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Our delivery times are based on working days Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) and are not guaranteed. This time does not include picking and processing lead time which can be up to 2 working days.

Please note: orders placed during busy seasonal periods may be subject to a longer processing and delivery time.

Please bear in mind that this is a small business selling handmade items and is operated by a sole trader; we may not be as quick to dispatched as bigger companies.

If your package has not arrived within 7 working days of dispatch, please contact Royal Mail with your tracking number.

Do you ship orders internationally? 

No, not at the moment. We currently only offer postage/shipping within the UK.
