Hi there
Welcome to the QuirkyGirlWorkshop.
At QuirkyGirlWorkshop we are working hard to dispatch orders as usual from the U.K. within 48 hours.
Unfortunately there could be delays in some areas of the U.K. and worldwide with the postal services and courier companies, this is due to covid restrictions and the increase in volume of mail as more people than ever are buying online. Your order could take longer to arrive than the stated estimated delivery times.
QuirkyGirlWorkshop offers free shipping within the U.K. (Royal Mail 2nd class / 48 ) which can be upgraded to 1st class in the drop down menu at checkout.
If you would like next day delivery please contact me for availability,
If you are not in the U.K. and you wanted to order more than one item you only pay the shipping cost for the first item any other items in the same order are post free if they are going to the same address
QuirkyGirlWorkshop is a U.K. based ETSY shop please read the shipping estimates ( these are estimates and not guarantees ) for how long your purchase could take to get to you.
Please note that International shipping can be unpredictable, especially during this COVID-19 outbreak shipping can take longer. For peace of mind during the time I am only sending international orders by tracked shipping.
Europe:-
postage is by tracked shipping , estimated to take 1-3 weeks
USA :-
Postage is by tracked shipping :- Estimated to take between 1 - 4 weeks
Please note there can be delays in some airports in USA if a package is stuck in a backlog of mail it will not be scanned, therefore the tracking will not update until the package clears the backlog.
Rest of the world postage:-
Is by tracked shipping :- estimated to take between 1 - 4 weeks (if tracking is not available in your country I will choose the nearest alternative )
Please note that are are severe delays in some countries

4 out of 5 starsItems are fine and exactly as described, but I think I should have ordered a pair with larger hoops as I just can't manage to close these - my cack-handedness and clumsiness at fault, not the earrings!

A perfect gift for a lady on her 50th birthday
-
I just love collecting sea glass and pebbles to make into jewellery
-
I have given these British sixpence coins an ‘aged look’ before making them into earrings
-
One of the thing that I love most about my Etsy shop is thinking up new ideas with my customers

This special order was for a hotel in Cornwall, such a great idea for each room to have a beach pebble keyring
There is always something new to make
Hi there my name is Paula
I have always been passionate about recycling and reusing, and I love creating, even as a small child I used to make my own necklaces out of antique beads that my grandad gave to me.
Now I'm lucky enough to be able to do what I love doing as a full time career
I just love making jewellery and accessories using recycled coins or out of sea glass, shells, pebbles, driftwood or even sea worn bits of china that I have found washed up on the beach.
I enjoy putting old and new together to create something different.
The coins that I use for my jewellery and accessories are genuine, mostly circulated But a few uncirculated coins, they have all been sterilised and polished individually by hand to bring out the detail, the circulated coins may have small marks or signs of wear in keeping with their age.
Each piece I make evolves rather than being designed, depending on the mood I am in. Sometimes I have to leave it for a while because I am not quite sure how it's going to finish....

Hi there I've always loved making things especially jewellery, I've also always loved beach combing and going to flea markets to see what I can find to make something new out of.

Can I send a gift directly to the recipient
You are welcome to send a gift directly to the recipient. When ordering add the gift recipients address at checkout instead of your own.
You can also add a message, if you leave the message in the ‘note to QuirkyGirlWorkshop’ section as your order. The package will not contain a receipt.
My order seems to be taking a long time and the tracking has just stopped
Unfortunately this seems to be happening more during this worldwide pandemic.
If your order seems to be taking a while this could mean that your package is stuck in a backlog of mail unfortunately items of mail do not get scanned if this happens.
We just have to be patient until it clears when it will be scanned again however this may take several weeks because of the huge backlog of mail especially in some air ports in the US.
The delays are because there are less customs officers and mail workers on duty because of illness and self isolating.
Those that are working are having to work with new distancing and hygiene rules.
Coupled with the above more people than ever are now shopping on line.
I can’t find the coin that I am looking for
If you can't find the coin or item that you are looking. first try searching the year and country you would like in the search bar on the left hand side above the index on QuirkyGirlWorkshop front page:- https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/QuirkyGirlWorkshop
Or just message me, I may have it, as I have too many coins and items to list
I entered the wrong shipping address what can I do
Please contact me right away
If you can give me the correct address before I ship your order, I can create your shipping label accordingly.
Please note, when you receive the shipment notification email from Etsy, it will still show the wrong address, because we can’t change your address recorded on your Etsy order.
Unfortunately if your order has already shipped I will not be able to redirect it
If I order more than one item can the be shipped together to save on shipping costs
If you are an international customer and you order more than one item at the same time, I can ship them together and you will only pay the postage for one item, if they are going to the same address.
