USA Customers - IMPORTANT Delivery Update

16 August 2025

ORDERS FROM US CUSTOMERS ARE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.

From 29th August 2025, all goods entering the US will be subject to a new theshold for paying duties and goods from the UK will be subject to a new additional 10% tariff.

If you are one of my wonderful US customers, the $800 de minimis threshold has been lowered to $0. Therefore all orders (which includes the cost of the postage in the calculation) will be subject to:

  • 20% import duty (you will pay this upon reciept of the good in the US)

and a

  • 10% Tariff - which will be collected by my store and paid before shipping the goods.

Currently I am establishing how I can collect 10% tariff & waiting for the UK postal companies to build in a process for this to be paid before shipping. The information being updated from Royal Mail and other courier companies is changing on a daily basis, and I will be updating this post as I know more.

If you are in the US, please ping me a message if you want to order so we can chat about the best way forward.

I will turn US orders back on once I know how I can make this work on my website, and I will keep you updated here.

Giving every US customer and every small business a virtual hug as we work through this together.
