Delivery on Needlecraft kits, charts, patterns, books and leaflets is free to United Kingdom addresses.
Following price hikes by shippers, we have had to add a shipping charge for overseas destinations.
This is calculated by our shopping cart when you add items to it as it depends on the size and weight of your purchase.
There is a surcharge for some countries * whose delivery record has been poor.
We charge for shipping/delivery at cost for other products: Papercraft items and Supplies/Accessories.
Our shopping cart calculates the shipping costs when you place your order.
If your order has, say, a chart, fabric and needles, then you will have to pay shipping for the fabric and needles only.
Shipping Methods
In the UK, we use first class post or a courier (for heavier items like some books and larger supplies).
Overseas orders (European Union, USA/Canada, Australasia, etc.) are shipped by airmail.
Despatch and Delivery Times
Items marked immediate despatch are normally posted on the same or the next business day.
(Exceptions to this include: days when there is serious disruption to postal services through weather, strikes or other causes outside our control).
Delivery Aims
Deliveries to the UK: within 2 days, or 4 days for large items.
Deliveries to Europe: 5-7 working days.
Deliveries to USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand/Rest of the World: 7-10 working days.
Please note that these are aims and not guarantees.
For example, your own country's Customs may inspect your package and thus cause a delay in delivery; or there may be weather or air traffic problems which hold up your package.
Airmail package size and weight are restricted to Length + Width + Height under 900mm (and no dimension more than 600mm) and Weight under 2Kg.
Some products may exceed these limits and consequently cannot be shipped overseas.
Our cart should warn you that this is the case if you attempt to purchase one of these products.
* Insurance Surcharge
Shipping to some countries may incur an insurance surcharge and you'll see this on your shopping cart if it applies.
These countries include Russia, South Africa, Philippines and Malaysia and may change as circumstances dictate.
We have had to introduce this surcharge because of unreliable deliveries to these countries.
We absorb as much as we can of the insurance cost so you will find that the surcharge reduces as the value of your order increases.
