Shipping, Delivery and Packing Information
Shipping Costs
Waltzingmouse Stamps is pleased to offer free standard shipping on all orders over £50GBP.
Shipping is based on weight and may be checked by filling your basket with the items you like and then proceeding to checkout. You can add your address details and the cart will work out your shipping. You can of course view this before you get to the payment bit.
You are not limited to purchasing physical items to qualify for free shipping, purchases of digital, downloadable goods will count towards your qualifying order.
The current offer runs until the end of my vacation (ends 15th August)...but we're thinking of making it permanent! Would we like that??
Tracking
Standard shipping is the default method of shipping for goods from Waltzingmouse Stamps. It does not include tracking. This means that I can offer competitive shipping rates.
Tracked services are more expensive and are not offered on the checkout facility on the store, however, If you require tracking and insurance, please email me before ordering as I will be delighted to accomodate you, many thanks. Unfortunately the free shipping offer will not extend to orders tracked or insured shipping.
Delivery Times
• Please allow up to 14 days for delivery to US, Australia, Europe and Canada. Many customers receive their parcels in 7 days.
• 8 sets can fit comfortably in one envelope.
• All In-stock items ship in 24-48 hours unless there is something outside my control such as a public holiday.
Back-order Items
Stamps are available to order even when we do not have them in stock. We are constantly re-ordering replenishment stock and aim to keep all sets in stock so I am happy to take orders for all stamps that are currently out of stock as their replacements are often already on the way.
Dies are not available to back-order as they come from another supplier, with whom we cannot guarantee stock levels.
The clear stamps come mounted on clear plastic sheets. There is an accompanying clear plastic sheet printed in black showing the stamp images. These are housed in a clear plastic poly bag with a printed insert carrying basic instruction and a tip. I ship them in a heavy duty padded envelope.
Customs
It is likely that if you are ordering from overseas that your country may have a system for charging customs/duty for goods that you are buying/importing from over seas.
I have tried to find out about what level of customs/duties payments might be charged to folks from overseas purchasing my stamps. The following information relates to US customers purchasing stamps and having them shipped to their US addresses. As I find more information for other destinations I will update this page.
“Packages whose declared value is under $200 ($100 if being sent as a gift to someone other than the purchaser) will generally be cleared without any additional paperwork prepared by CBP…”
The above statement comes from this link here:
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/basic_trade/internet_purchases.xml
I believe this to be the US Government Customs and Border protection website, and this is their information regarding Internet purchases. It seems to suggest that folks can purchase up to $200 worth of merchandise before any customs charges might apply but I would strongly advise that you check this out for yourself, I do not have any concrete evidence from customers yet about any charges that anyone may have had to pay.
