Orders under €150 Euro:
VAT at your local country rate will be collected at check out on orders under €150 Euro (approx GBP£130). This also means that you should get your parcels more quickly as they fast-track the customs procedures at borders. Parcels are sent with our IOSS / VAT details clearly displayed, and labelled duty exempt. (You may be charged handling or processing fees by your local post office - but no VAT or duty should be charged).

Orders over €150:
Not covered by IOSS, so we will not charge any taxes, and orders are likely to be subject to import duty and VAT upon reaching your jurisdiction. These levies are the responsibility of the customer to pay.

*Note for our Czech and Romanian customers - these two countries are not yet participating in the IOSS scheme so VAT for orders for customers in these locations will not be collected at checkout. Therefore taxes and handling fees may still apply when the items are delivered (just to confuse you all a little bit more...)

Free Shipping

We don't hide shipping costs in our product costs. As much as we would 🌸 LOVE 🌸 to offer Free Shipping forever, in reality we don't think it's a fair and transparent way to do business (hiding the actual cost in product prices, or exploiting underpaid delivery drivers), or a reasonable expectation.

(Even Amazon Prime charges over £100 per year to cover shipping.)

We do promise to keep our shipping prices AS LOW AS POSSIBLE, and we don't make any profit on packaging & shipping.

[Here's an instagram post we wrote on the topic.]

ALSO, every order with us EARNS YOU POINTS which you could use to offset shipping costs! Yay!!

Returns

We hope you are thrilled to bits with your items, and we sincerely thank you for choosing our small, independent shop for your order! If, for some reason, you aren't completely satisfied, please see our returns policy.
