Delivery prices and estimated delivery times

Most items are dispatched via Royal Mail and include their tracking service. In some cases, we may use a different courier if we have been notified of delays within the Royal Mail network. The following times provide an estimate of the number of days it will take for your parcel to reach you after we dispatch it.

EU Countries:  No Longer Dispatch To (Please see information below)

We’re so Sorry! Unfortunately, due to new EU regulations introduced in December 2024, we can no longer ship to countries within the EU. The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) has introduced significant administrative and financial requirements that are not feasible for small UK businesses like ours. We deeply regret any inconvenience this causes and hope that more practical solutions will be introduced by the European Union in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

* For International Postage the prices listed above are based on a single item. However, please note that for international orders of multiple items, or when adding a gift box, there may be an increase in price due to additional weight considerations. In such cases, we will provide you with the most accurate shipping cost during the checkout process.

For international orders containing more than one item, please be aware that they may be dispatched in multiple parcels. This is necessary to comply with weight restrictions and ensure the safe delivery of your items.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding shipping, please feel free to reach out to our friendly customer support team

 

Unexpected Delivery Delays

Please note that on rare occasions, unforeseen delivery delays can occur within customs or the courier’s networks, which may result in longer delivery timescales. While we are unable to directly influence or expedite these situations, we will do our best to keep you informed and provide any available information regarding the status of your shipment.

 

Customs, duties and taxes on non-UK orders

We want to ensure transparency regarding customs and taxes applied to your order. Please kindly note that any fees or charges incurred during or after shipping, such as tariffs or import taxes, are the sole responsibility of the customer. Unfortunately, we are unable to assume responsibility for these additional expenses.

Our aim is to provide you with a seamless shopping experience. To ensure smooth delivery, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with the customs regulations and potential charges in your destination country. For assistance or information specific to charges and regulations in your country, we kindly suggest searching online for “import taxes and customs duties [your country]” and visiting your government’s official website.

We take pride in the quality of our products, which are meticulously crafted and thoroughly checked by our in-house quality control team. While rare, we acknowledge that human errors can occur.

If this happens, please contact us with your order number, along with a photo and description of the error. Please click here to get in touch.

We strive to provide a hassle-free experience for our customers, which is why we usually issue replacements without requiring you to return the incorrect item.

Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are here to make things right. If you have any concerns or questions regarding our return and refund process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are always ready to help.

This includes double-checking dates, names, occasions, addresses, and postcodes for correctness. At A Gift of Happiness, our staff members do not perform spell-checks or question spellings—it is the customer’s responsibility when placing the order.

We value your satisfaction and want to avoid any disappointment. Taking a moment to review and confirm the information before finalising your order will help ensure that your personalised items are created exactly as desired.
