Shipping & Delivery: How Your Loot Gets to You

Alright, witches, let's talk logistics. You've bought the goods, and now you want them in your hands. We get it. Here is exactly how your new favourite things travel from our cauldrons to your doorstep. No boring corporate speak, just the facts.

Where Is This Stuff Coming From?

Our magical inventory is summoned from a couple of different realms:
Custom Garments (Apparel): These beauties are conjured up and shipped by our trusty print-on-demand partner, Tapstitch, operating out of the US and China. They use UPS to fly your threads across the globe.
Handmade Treasures, Crystals & More: All the handcrafted goodies, shiny rocks, and other mystical items are packed with love (and maybe a little protective spellwork) by Eleri right here in Scotland, UK. These are dispatched via Royal Mail or DPD.

Shipping Costs: Parting With Your Coin

We keep it transparent. No hidden hexes here:
Apparel & Garments: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the rates set by our production partner.
Handmade & UK-Shipped Items: These costs are also calculated at checkout, using the current rates from Royal Mail or DPD.

When Will My Stuff Arrive?

Patience is a virtue, but waiting sucks. Here is a rough timeline of when you can expect your loot:
Custom Garments: It takes about 3-5 working days to actually make the items. Once dispatched, delivery usually takes 5-7 working days for most locations. If you live in a remote, hard-to-reach corner of the earth, it might take up to 21 working days.
Handmade Items from Scotland: These are dispatched within 3-5 working days. Delivery times after that will vary depending on where in the world you are.
A quick reality check: These delivery times are estimates, not blood oaths. Sometimes the postal service gets overwhelmed, customs decides to be nosy, or other mortal nonsense causes delays outside of our control.

International Shipping: Crossing Borders

Good news! We ship worldwide. No excluded countries. If you have an address, we will try to send things to it.
But crossing borders means dealing with mortal bureaucracy:
Customs, Duties & Taxes: You are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees charged by your country's government.
A Little Sneaky Help: To try and save you some coin, we split orders to keep them under the £120 tax threshold and mark them as gifts whenever possible. We absolutely cannot guarantee this will ward off customs charges entirely, but we do our best to help a witch out.
