Shipping & Tax

United Kingdom

Important — US Customs (effective 29 August 2025):
The de minimis exemption that previously allowed duty-free imports up to $800 has been completely removed. This means all shipments arriving in the US from overseas, regardless of value, are now subject to customs duties and clearance procedures. Import duty and any applicable sales tax are the responsibility of the buyer. We are unable to predict, cover, or reimburse these charges.
⚠️ We currently do not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or other US territories.
European Union
- Royal Mail International (5–10 business days) — £7.99
Since Brexit, all parcels from the UK to EU countries pass through customs. Your order may be subject to import VAT (typically 20–25%, depending on your country) and a customs duty/handling fee charged by your local postal service or customs authority. As of July 2026, the EU also applies a small flat customs charge per parcel in addition to VAT. These charges are calculated and collected by customs/your postal service upon delivery, are separate from your order total, and are the responsibility of the buyer.
Tracking
All international orders include a tracking number, sent to you by email at the time of dispatch. Track your parcel at royalmail.com or via your local postal service.
Packaging
Every order is carefully packed to protect your art supplies in transit. We use recycled cardboard and minimal plastic wherever possible.
