Shipping method

All items are sent by trackable, express post.
We use beautiful, sturdy, eco friendly packaging.

International orders are sent by express airmail and delivered by your national postal service.

Delivery time

Working days, after dispatch:

  • Portugal 1-3 days
  • Europe 3-8 days
  • Worlwide 5-10 days 

Delivery Fees

For smaller items the shipping fee is a flat rate - it will cost the same whether you buy one item or five, because they all fit in the same box.

For larger, heavier items, like yarn and yarn bowls, shipping fees are calculated by combined weight.

To preview the postage cost, add the items to your basket and add your address.

Customs charges

Orders within the EU include 23% VAT. You will not be charged any further import taxes.

Customers outside the EU do not pay tax on their order, but it may be subject to customs fees at the border, depending on your country. We are not responsible for any customs charges.

Order status / tracking

You will receive an order confirmation email when you purchase, and an update with a tracking link when your order has shipped. 

You can track it through your national postal service, who will deliver. 

If your parcel is late, or anything goes wrong, please email us at fizzystitches@gmail.com with your name and order number so we can make it right.

Gifts

If you are sending a gift directly, let us know when you order! We can make them an extra special parcel and include a note from you too 😊
For EU parcels we can also leave the price off of the receipt. We have to include itemised receipts on parcels to countries outside the EU.

Returns

We are happy to accept returns and exchanges up to 30 days after delivery. When the item is returned in its original condition, we will refund the full item price. The customer pays the return shipping costs, unless there is a fault with the item. If you prefer to exchange the item, it's best to return the item for a refund and order the replacement item through the shop in the normal way.

Exceptions

We can't accept returns of certain custom orders, especially if the item had a long designing process or a large material outlay. Or personalised items that will be difficult to re-sell, such as name engravings. Sale items and gift cards cannot be returned. (You can still return any of these if there is a defect in the item.)

Guarantee

In the rare event that your tool breaks, or it is faulty in any way, we will either replace it, repair it, or refund the full amount. We believe in our tools and we will do everything we can to make sure you can enjoy them for years to come!

Please contact us to let us know what has happened so we can work towards a happy and practical solution.
