Delivery / Shipping

Delivery costs

Your order is shipped from the UK. How to get shipping from the US instead.

Delivery is free to addresses within the UK.

For delivery to addresses outside the UK greeting cards and stickers are free to most countries. For other products the postage cost varies but the average is £3 to Europe* and £4 to the US. Delivery to the US of mugs, drinks bottles, clothing and tote bags is via USPS and you will receive tracking information within a few days of dispatch, other items are posted through standard Royal Mail and will take a little longer. When calculating postage cost the product(s) you have chosen and your order total are taken into account (there are some reductions in shipping price when spending £25 or more, for sweatshirts it's £40 or more).

*Europe being defined, for shipping costs, as: Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Hungary, Austria, Slovenia, Denmark, France, Slovakia, Lithuania, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Latvia, Spain, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Estonia, Croatia, Finland, Romania, Serbia, Greece. Countries outside of the US and this definition of Europe will have an average shipping cost of £1 more than to the US.

Processing / delivery time scales

All items are made to order. Due to my printer's increased work load whilst coping with social distancing and other safety measures in the workplace, orders are taking a few days longer to produce but are now close to pre-pandemic speed again. The same is the case for Royal Mail when orders get to the delivery stage (more about the UK delivery situation on the Royal Mail website). International delivery is also taking longer than usual. USPS are taking roughly 11 days to deliver from the UK to the US. For Royal Mail international delivery see the current international delivery status for individual countries on the Royal Mail website. Here is a list of links if you prefer to buy from a store in the US.
