Teacup Tuesday... postage costs


Well we've been umm-ing and ahhh-ing over this for YONKS! What to do? What to do?

We LOVE sending our gifts special delivery... we and the customer can track them and make sure they arrive safely. They're there before 1pm the next day (unless we post on a Friday then they arrive on the Monday) and are always treated with care.

BUT it's expensive and since April last  year it's become VERY expensive. We've tried to protect our lovely customers from the price hike but it's been costing us dearly.

So we're saying goodbye to special delivery for those gifts that are under £50 and not likely to break in the post.

We're rolling out a new price structure that works inline with the post office's first class UK mail prices. We'll be gift wrapping as usual and sending things on their way with all the love and attention to detail our customers know us for.

BUT no more tracking, and no more next day delivery. Unless you contact us to request it. Then of course we'll send it Special Delivery. Anywhere in the world.

Christmas Post... deadline dates

We use the Royal Mail here in the UK to send out our lovely gift wrapped presents!

Each year they let us know the "cut off" dates where they can guarantee delivery to you by Christmas, since we use their Special Delivery Service [so that your parcel is insured and guaranteed delivery by 1pm the next day] our last posting dates are the following:







For Australia, New Zealand, Japan & Asia - Wednesday 5th December

For Africa - Friday 7th December

For USA & Canada - Monday 10th December

For Europe - Wednesday 12th December

For UK - Saturday 22nd December


So please ensure you've left plenty of time for your gift to arrive to avoid any disappointment!
