USA customers, end of August, Trump has put tariffs on my work, so you will be charged 10% extra by your customs to receive your parcel. I don’t know if they will charge admin fees too, we have no info yet. Contact me when you order and we’ll see if I can help a bit, I am trying to find a courier to pay the tariffs up front to help you. If purchasing more than one animal in a package will be overcharged shipping due to the listing requirements not matching your system, but I will refund you the extra when processing the order.
POSTAGE AND PACKING
My packaging is now plastic free and recyclable/compostable. It might cost me a little more, but it is worth it for the planet.
I wrap books/cards in paper bags, and animal sculptures are popped in their own little natural cotton drawstring bag, with some travelling choklit and a thank you bookmark and postcard. I then pack in tissue and add a thank you chocolate too.
Print to order merch is sent direct from the printers, not gift wrapped but they are also plastic free.
I usually post out next day from ordering and you can choose either tracked 24 or tracked 48 with Royal Mail. You can request a handwritten card in the notes when ordering if sending direct to someone else.
Current UK postage costs:
Large letter £2/£3/£3.80 depending weight 48/24
Small Parcel: £3.90/£4.60 TR48/24
Tribe members teapot/teacake level get free parcel shipping
USA postage costs £12-36 depending on weight. If you order all my books the weight will tip it up to £36-£45 shipping costs. A single animal is generally £20 If you buy more than one animal it will overcharge you shipping but I will refund the extra paid when I fulfil your order.
