SHIPPING

@Madame:

We have a 4-day holiday weekend in the UK to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee 

This means that any orders received after around 3pm UK time tomorrow will not ship until Wednesday 6th June 

Apologies in advance for the shipping delay, but outside our control I’m afraid.

Oh man don't I know it. My company is based in the UK and we have been acquiring tickets for this event for the last few months. I will be happy once it is over. Not only for me, but for those with orders.

What is this strange thing you mention?? Time off from work?? On a Bank Holiday?? Not this mug… Still, could be the one time I get to wear some decent clothes at work.

Feel for you, MP - we appreciate those who keep the country ticking on whilst the masses (and UPS employees) enjoy their street parties (if not rained off!)

::)

Heh :). I wouldn't go that far, I don't think the country would grind to a halt if I got a couple of extra days off… Mind you, for some of the customers round here...

Anyone have experience with returning an item from USA back to IHUK?  I'm curious to know how much a 1 pound package might cost to send back.  I browsed thru the UPS site and it's telling me something around $80-90.  Does it really cost that much?!

[elclintor]

Ship it via USPS. It'll cost between $30-$50 depending on which service you choose.

I shipped a pair of 634-XHS to the UK before using USPS and it was $17.

I'm sure there are tons of variables in there though. Just go to your local post office and have them quote you prices.

What is it that you are sending that is 1 lbs??  If it's big enough to fit in a USPS Flat Rate Envelope, use that, usually shipping overseas is $16.95 using USPS' online shipping, I always say to people that USPS shouldn't of said, "If it fits, it ships…."  I stuffed some IH702's in a Flat Rate Envelope, just taped the shit out of it.

If you need more help, PM me, I can help ya out.

Thanks people.  Will definitely be taking a run down to my local post office.

[JCar2666]

For future references I sent out for return 1, IHSH-51 at $40.85.  Since this fucker was so thick there was no way I was getting it into a large flat rate envelope.  I ended up using their large soft priority mail envelope.  Which I almost did not fit in as well.

We decided to make our packaging a bit more fun.  Most orders will now get shipped in a paper sack, chain-stitched top and bottom (blue bagged inside for added protection).  We like it, hope you do

And btw, thank you for the great image for the stamp Von Olzon…..

Don't know if this belongs in here, but this link is useful for anyone who wants to work out UK import duty.

The new paper sack with the stamp looks awesome.  Another gem G&P

[Giles]

Madame Buttonfly shows us how to get into chain stitched goodness.  What she forgot to tell you is that, you must do this from the left hand side, otherwise it will not work…

[supersalami]

OH MY GOD! that is some incredibly creative packaging!!!! can't wait to open one myself!

[thomasnunnally]

Love it…and I need a patch if it happens!
