Royal Mail & Parcel Force are now collecting European shipments once again. Please note that due to the current coronavirus situation in the UK and the backlog created by the week suspension of mail, there are still likely to be delays in receiving your parcel if it is going to Europe from UK.
After the government’s announcement of lockdown in Wales from midnight December 19th, we are happy to say we are still operating online as per usual, the shop is closed to the public until further notice. Royal Mail is collecting our post the next working day after your order is processed.
