Delivery Charges to Europe & the rest of the World

     Delivery cost inside UK here... 
 
 
1) Delivery charges to Europe
 
2) Delivery charges to USA, Australia, Africa & Asia
 
3) How do I calculate the weights?
 
4) Small packets up to 100 grams
 
5) What does the Delivery Charge include?
 
We ship orders to all countries in the world and currently have customers in more than 80 countries. With the high cost of international freight and postage, especially to countries outside Europe, we are obliged to charge appropriate post & packing costs.
 
We use UK Royal Mail's Airmail service to ship most parcels. For urgent deliveries, Royal Mail advises the use of their International Tracked & Signed service that costs £5.00 more than the cost of the Delivery Charge. Please email us if you wish to use the International Tracked & Signed service.

On receipt of your PayPal order for natural fibres and other items from the Wild Fibres store, we will send you a PayPal invoice for the extra costs of the Delivery Charge that you can pay with credit card, debit card or PayPal. If at this point you do not wish to proceed with your order, we will refund your order payment in full.

Please note that larger items must be sent by a carrier, such as Parcelforce, who will charge by volumetric weight, not actual weight. The volumetric weight of a Lazy Kate is a little over 4.8 kg.

Most non-European countries are World Zone 1 or 2. The USA is World Zone 3 and the most expensive. Australia & New Zealand are World Zone 2. The Royal Mail charges more for Airmail to Australia and New Zealand but we are currently absorbing the extra costs involved.
 
3) How do I calculate the weights?
The weight must include the weight of packing materials such as padded envelopes, cartons and mailers as well as the goods ordered. For example, an order for 500 grams of fibre will need to be sent at the 750 gram weight band. It cannot be sent at the 500 gram band. As a rule of thumb, add 150 grams to the weight for fibres orders of 100 grams or more and 200 grams for orders up to 1 kg. See also the note about volumetric weight above.

If you are ordering from the USA, Australia or from any country outside the UK, you can contact us via the Contact Form or by email to info@wildfibres.co.uk for an estimate.

4) Small packets up to 100 grams
Small orders for seeds or for say 50-100 grams of natural fibres, may be covered by the standard delivery charge of £6.95 (for orders up to £50) that is calculated by the shopping cart. You can order these directly through the shopping cart and we will email you if the weight exceeds Royal Mail limits.

5) What does the Delivery Charge include?
The Delivery Charge is the cost of Royal Mail's Airmail service plus a small amount for the cost of the external packing materials, such as gripseals, mailers and mailing cartons that are used to ship your fibre.

The Royal Mail charges more for Airmail to Australia and New Zealand but we are currently absorbing the extra costs involved and charging only the same costs as for Arica, Asia etc.

You will only be invoiced for the extra costs of delivery above that charged by the shopping cart.
