📦 New Postal Options
Following Ofcom’s approval of changes to 2nd Class Letter & Large Letter postal services, we have now discontinued the use of 2nd Class post as of Friday 25th July. We recommend opting for tracked services when possible. See full details here: Postal Changes
Check out below the new options now available. We offer a variety of UK and international delivery options based on weight, with prices calculated automatically at checkout.
What’s Staying the Same?
- Standard Post (1st Class / RM24 – Untracked)
- Tracked Post (RM 24 & RM 48)
- Next Day Delivery Available (some kits, like Stitch a Photo, may require 2–3 weeks production time)
- Overseas Postage No Change as it is all sent Tracked International. Delivery depends on location and customs which are out with our control
