PROCESSING TIME
For stock items I aim to ship orders within 24-48 hours. For special orders delivery times will be discussed in any correspondence.  If there should be any delay due to unforeseen circumstance such as a T8 storm, I will contact you. If you would like an order sent urgently, please notify me by email and will do my best to send it out ASAP.

Jewellery items are sent in a presentation box (sustainable of course) and further packaged in a suitable box for shipping. Cushions are carefully wrapped in FSC certified tissue paper.  Any plastic packing used has been recovered from deliveries I receive and can be reused again.
