You can also often catch us on live chat on Facebook or our website during daytime hours.

PRICE MATCH - Have you found the same item in the same condition cheaper elsewhere? Give us a shout and send us a link to the item and we'll see what we can do. We can't promise anything, but where possible we will try to match or even beat our competitors prices.

SHIPPING DISCOUNTS - We have 1000's of items in our Etsy stores and you will generally only pay postage on the heaviest item you buy. The rest, if they individually weigh less than 1kg each, are very often sent free (heavy items do incur a small extra fee). Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout for multiple item orders. Shop across our two stores and we will combine postage and find the very best postage deal we can for you. See more notes on shipping discounts below.

PACKAGING – Where possible we use recycled or recyclable packaging. Sometimes this is not possible; For example paper tape will not stand up to the rigours of international shipping. We are though constantly evolving our business practices to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Note that Etsy also claim to offset carbon emissions from all orders, All new packaging options are available at checkout for an extra cost.

* Note. Postage from France falls into bands. Up to 2kg is a reasonable cost but anything over 2kg gets expensive to send internationally. The bands are 2-5kg, 5-10kg, 10-20kg and 20-30kg. So when purchasing multiple orders we can sometimes make savings over and above automatic postage discounts applied at checkout. For example; If you buy 4 items weighing 2kg each (allowing 2kg for packaging) we can pack those items into a 10kg package. Automatic discounts applied at checkout are usually pretty close but if you are considering multiple purchases and especially from both of our shops get in touch with details of the items you are considering buying and we will let you know if we can do any better on postage.
