✉️ Changes to How We Post
UK Shipping Update:
Due to the changes within the Royal Mail system we discontinued the use of 2nd Class service as of 25th July 2025.
We understand that changes in delivery services can raise concerns, especially regarding cost and reliability. Standard 2nd Class had become increasingly unreliable, and our updated shipping methods aim to ensure a more secure and consistent delivery experience.
US Shipping Resumed
All US orders are now subject to a “Landed Cost” charge—regardless of order value. This replaces the previous system, where low-value goods under USD $800 could enter duty-free under the de minimis threshold.
Shipping to the United States has now resumed, the Landing Cost is now included in the Postage shown at checkout and all taxes & duties will be paid direct to the relevant authorities.
