Postage as of 1st April 2021 is £3.49 second class and £4.99 first class in the UK. We offer a 48 hour tracked service also but you should add onto this dispatch times which may vary. Overseas shipping will cost extra, but thats no problem, we can quote you for this. We very rarely encounter any issues with delivery however please note: even Royal Mail say that " any dates quoted are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence." We can not therefore ensure that the service you receive will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, however, we will try our very best to ensure a smooth and swift service. We can not guarantee that a parcel will arrive with you in any time frame as we have no personal control over your parcels' delivery. Your beautiful gift will be sent to you in the post via Royal Mail. We can send your parcel to you, or direct to the person it is for, if you want us to.

Your parcel is delivered from our HQ in the heart of Lincolnshire to your door. We aim to ship out within one working day, however, we dont ship at weekends and cannot ship on bank holidays. Any weekend orders will be processed on Monday morning. We are finding that the Royal Mail delivery times are taking a lot longer as online shopping has increased through lockdown and the Christmas period is seeing significant delays of up to two to three weeks. We have no control over this but we can aim to post your product out within one to two working days to get it on its way as soon as possible. Please therefore allow extra time for your parcel to arrive. There are times we will be away. And we will have some time off too so please check our Facebook/Instagram page for updates and I will also leave a note at checkout advising of this. Our handmade products will take a little longer because they have been personalised for you and any made to order gift will not be refunded.
