ROYAL MAIL HAVE ONCE AGAIN INCREASED THEIR POSTAL PRICES. THEREFORE TO KEEP IT AT A RESONABLE LEVEL, I 'VE NOW MADE MY STANDARD UK POSTAL OPTION "2ND CLASS" INSTEAD OF 1ST. (THIS WON'T APPLY TO INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS) JUST SO I CAN KEEP COSTS DOWN AND YOU GUYZ AREN'T FORKING OUT AN ARM AND A LEG JUST TO
GET YOUR PACKAGE! IF YOU WANT 1ST CLASS THERE 'S ALWAYZ OPTION TO UPGRADE BUT ETSY IS KIND OF WEIRD WITH THEIR DELIVERY PROFILES ETC. WHERE IT CAN END UP COSTING WAYYYY TOO MUCH. THROUGH MY BIG CARTEL IT'S MUCH MORE STRAIGHT FORWARD HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MULTIPLE OPTIONS.
THANX FOR READING,
SORRY IT'S BORING BUT JUST WANTED TO LET YA KNOW... ANY QUESTIONS I 'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! BACK TO NORMAL PROGRAMMING ❤️

29/12/2025
I will return to the shop after the new year- 02/01/2026 all expected orders (ordered before or during the holidays) will be dispatched within several days of me returning. Any questions or queries I'm always happy to help. Look forward to what this year has in store!

POSTING DATES...
Hi all, thought I'd hop on and just put a little reminder of the final postal dates. Within the UK my courier (Royal Mail) have advised that the FINAL postal dates for 1st Class letters/parcels to arrive before Christmas is-Saturday 20 December for 1st Class. Since all my parcels are sent this way within the UK, that means you should receive em on time! I'm working my lil butt off to make sure even orders that are meant to dispatch after this date are made and sent early. I'm going to work my hardest to make sure everything arrives by Christmas on my end. But we all know this time of year puts alot of stress on delivery services. Also please remember (even though everyone is always very kind and understanding) that Slime Rat Merch is a one lady run business, I try and be as organised and quick as possible but sometimes there's not enough hours in a day!! So in short, everything ordered within the UK will be made and dispatched no later than the 19th December, fingers crossed to get to you in time for Christmas. This will apply to badges/stickers/prints.
NOT to t-shirts as the print/processing times wouldn't be realistic to finish in time.

And as you all already are aware International orders there can be huge delays anyway nevermind the holiday season, as parcels are being flown to the other side of the globe. But as of now I've tried to keep to a strict schedule, anything ordered before 15/12/25 has been sent internationally in hopes that it will arrive on time due to Royal Mails timing of 7-14 days. Anything after this date I will send before 19/12/25, but the likelihood of it arriving may be less likely, unless I flew in on a plane and hand delivered it myself.

Truly thank you everyone for your support this year, it's been a real good one!! I'm excited to make cool new stuff and grow Slime Rat even more in 2026...
Any questions I'm always here to help as best as possible I just always ask for some patience and understanding.

CHEERZ and TAKE CARE!!
Until next time...

📢 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
Slime Rat Merchandise has FINALLY got it’s own website! I’ve been working hard to grow my shop over the last few years, starting on Etsy. Well I’ve found myself these last few months outgrowing my Etsy shop, with lots of negatives along the way motivating me to build my own website. I hope you’re all as stoked as I am 💚
There will be serious development over the next few weeks with new products hosted. For the moment it’s a bit more of a glamorous version of my Etsy page, but she’s up and running to say the least!! My Etsy will still be trading in unison with my Big Cartel for now so the word can get out!! I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has supported me and continues to. 💚🐀

I’m looking forward to what the future holds…

UPDATE USA SHIPPING 04/10/25
Hey all, thank you for bearing with me. I now have the capability to allow US shipping back on both my Etsy and website through my mail provider Royal Mail. I now will ship all US parcels with PDDP (Postal Delivered Duties Paid.) This meaning that when I purchase your label all duties, tariffs, handling fees etc. will be covered for, so there aren’t any nasty surprises when your goodies arrive at your door. The only frustrating thing is that this has increased the postal prices to get your orders to the US. I’ve tried to keep any additions to a minimum but unfortunately due to the current climate there has been increases. Luckily due to the nature of my items there isn’t too much that has to be accounted for but the changes can be frustrating. If you have any questions I’m always happy to help as much as I can. I really appreciate the support as always and I’m happy to be able to trade with all my US customers again!

(IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFO) 22/08/2025
Hey all!
Got a bit a sad news for Slime Rat Merch. Hopefully this isn't permanent, just a bit of a short term issue. Due to the current climate of posting parcels overseas, I've currently ceased the option of international customers being able to order in the USA. As of August 29th there will no longer be a de minimis exemption for goods entering the US. This means more items that are being shipped to the US may be subject to duties and taxes regardless of the value in the parcel. Although the majority of my items are clothing or very small, it is currently unclear what processes I myself have to account for to be able to ship items as I have been previously. My fear is the possibility of customer's receiving surprise charges in order to receive their item(s) which is no good!
So to sum up, until everything is much more clear and I can adjust my item/postage pricing to account for duties and taxes, there sadly won't be any post available for my US customers. I want to ensure that my customers are getting the fair chance to see exactly how much everything costs before receiving their order, so I think this is the best path forward for now until I can include DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) in my postage options. Aswell, my current courier (Royal Mail) isn't taking any parcels after the 25th August until they also know more about the current oversea postal issues and have indicated they will be adding a DDP option in the coming weeks.
My apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment. I know about roughly half of my customers shop from the US, who i greatly appreciate!! Hopefully this will be a short term issue and resolved quickly. I just wanted to put a quick message and be transparent with you all. If you have any questions or queries please always feel free to ask, I will try my best to help based on the info I currently know. As soon as I hear further update I will inform all my customers through here, social media and website so keep an eye. Any American outstanding orders will be posted tomorrow before the cut off at my post office. If anyone is currently waiting for any orders, there could be some delays due to all the changes currently happening. I ask for your patience during this time! But all there's left to say is farewell for now to the USA, I'll see you the other side of the pond! Thank you for all the support as always, post and order fulfilment will continue the same for everywhere else internationally and in the UK.

(OTHER SHIPPING INFO)
I've noticed there's been some confusion with shipping options recently, especially with my overseas customers. When checking out you will have two shipping options. "Standard Shipping" doesn't have a tracking number attached to your order, whereas "Tracked Shipping" (although an extra charge) will allow you to track your order and claim back for any damaged or lost orders worse case scenario.
If any queries, please never hesitate to contact the shop and I will try my best to help sort any problems immediately!
CHEERS,
FLETCH aka Slime Rat XO
