(Rest assured that no other destinations are affected by this.)

You may have heard the news floating around... the USA has introduced some tariff changes, which, unfortunately, the world was not ready for. Unlike other countries where the buyer simply pays customs upon a package’s arrival, packages without customs PRE-PAID in advance will be rejected at the US border.

Countries around the world are now scrambling to put systems in place to pre-pay tariffs, but it’s a huge task, so it might take a while. Thankfully, Royal Mail has made a lot of progress on this already, so at the moment I’m HOPEFUL that this suspension won’t last any longer than 1-3 weeks. “Hopeful” being the keyword :(

That being said - I’m STILL ACCEPTING ORDERS, it’s just that, if the destination is the US, I won’t be able ship them until these systems are in place. Shipping costs have also been increased for US orders to cover the tariffs - these are inaccurate and I will likely have to eat some of the costs myself, but I really have no other choice at the moment. (Tariffs are 10% of an order, but I have no option to set regional pricing, so I will work on an average order basis, which is around £20 - I’ve added £2 to all my US shipping options for now.)

I'm at the mercy of your kindness and understanding - I truly do not know when these systems will be in place. But I am following the news closely and will update anyone affected as soon as I know more. If at any time you no longer wish to wait and want to cancel your order - contact me and I will cancel it, no questions asked!

SHORT VERSION: USA shipping is suspended due to tariff chaos, orders heading to the US should, hopefully, go out sometime in the next 1-3 weeks. Please keep this in mind when placing your order!
