🇺🇸 US Friends/Customers - Trump has announced tariffs on all orders, payable by customers within the US for importing from other countries. Unfortunately he’s provided no way for Etsy to collect the tariffs due when you order. I have therefore increased postage costs to include the tariffs due. This means the tariffs will be paid upfront when shipping is booked with Royal Mail and you’ll have no further fees due when the order reaches the US 🇺🇸

Having bought a few book buddies for myself, I am so impressed with the quality that I've ordered more to offer to students at our school to protect their library (or other) books in their bags from being crushed, torn or dripped on by water bottles!
