Shipping outside of the UK
USA SHIPPING & TARIFFS UPDATE!
To my US customers – I will be pausing US shipping for a little while after 9am UK time on 12th August. This is due to the USA imposed tariffs coming into effect on UK orders under $800 at the end of the month.
From 29 August 2025, all goods entering the US valued under $800 will be subject to full duties, based on the country of origin and product category. Please note that not all of our products originate in the UK - we usually specify the country of origin on the product listing and it has to be declared on customs documents when we ship your order. We cannot predict or be responsible for these tariffs as they are applied and payable in the USA and not the UK.
There may be added service and admin charges applied once the parcel enters the USA - again, we cannot predict or be responsible for these charges as they are applied and payable in the USA and not the UK. There may also be shipping and customs delays due to the new systems being implemented.
I therefore need to review my shipping methods and providers to ensure the best possible service for my valued American customers, to avoid unnecessary costs for you and parcels being returned to me unnecessarily.
Please stay subscribed to my mailing lists and social media for updates as I do hope to resume USA shipping soon, though unfortunately there will be tariffs to pay on any orders sent to the USA for the foreseeable future.
Thanks so much for your patience and support.

Weight limit
The weight limit on international parcels for our shipping is 2KG. We will try to deliver all your goods in one parcel and most of the time this is possible. However, if your order is large or made up of heavy or delicate items, then we may have to ship in more than one parcel. We will then have to ask for an additional postage payment to help cover this. We will always contact you before shipping to check this with you and arrange payment, or enable you to amend your order.
Inside the EU - IOSS
Your tax will be included in your order at the current rate of your country. There should be no further taxes or fees to pay on delivery. We pay the tax into the EU on a monthly basis through our EU agent.
Outside the EU
If you are outside the UK but not in an EU member state, when you place your order, the sales tax is deducted. Tax does not apply to books.
We will then export the parcel to you using Royal Mail. You may have to pay tax on your goods at your country's rate as they enter your country. You may also have duty and fees to pay depending on your country and the goods that you have ordered. You will need to pay any fees and taxes before your parcel is released for delivery.
At this stage, we cannot predict the cost of the fees/duty/tax that is due as each country/state will have different rules and allowances on imports.
By agreeing to our terms and conditions at checkout, then you agree to be responsible for payment of any fees/duty/tax incurred by your order.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
