Little Darlings delivery times
Every Little Darlings print is made just for you, so here is a simple guide to when it will arrive. Every print is made to order and sent by my trusted print partner from the lab nearest you, with free tracked delivery.
Where we deliver
We currently deliver to:
- the UK
- Ireland and every other EU country
- Norway and Switzerland
- the USA
- Australia
We don't deliver anywhere else at the moment. If you live somewhere else, please contact me and I'll let you know as soon as that changes.
How it works
- Your free proof. Request a free proof and I'll email you a proof of your print, often within an hour, but it can take up to 24 hours. There's nothing to pay at this stage.
- Love it? Choose your size and pay. Once you've paid, you get up to 3 rounds of tweaks. Nothing is printed until you are happy and approve your proof.
- Printing and delivery. Once you approve your proof, your print is made by my print partner and posted straight to you, or to the lucky recipient.
The times below start once you approve your proof. So please allow an extra day or two for your proof as well.
Delivery times
Times are in working days (not counting weekends or bank holidays) and include printing and posting.
| Where it's going | Unframed print | Framed print |
|---|---|---|
| UK | 2 to 5 working days | 2 to 5 working days |
| Ireland and the EU (for example Germany, France, the Netherlands) | 6 to 10 working days | 6 to 10 working days |
| Norway and Switzerland | 6 to 13 working days* | 6 to 13 working days* |
| USA | 5 to 9 working days | 8 to 10 working days |
| Australia | 4 to 8 working days | 4 to 8 working days |
* This is my best estimate, as my print partner doesn't publish an exact time for these two countries.
Framed prints take a little longer in the USA because each frame is made to order there. Busy times like Christmas can take longer too, so please order early if your print is a gift.
How your print is made
Each print is made to order by my trusted print partner in their professional print labs around the world. Your print is printed on beautiful fine art paper, and framed prints come in a classic wooden frame, ready to hang. It is then sent from the lab nearest to you, so it travels less and reaches you sooner.
| Where it's going | Where it's sent from |
|---|---|
| UK | UK |
| Ireland and the EU | Netherlands |
| Norway and Switzerland | Netherlands |
| USA | USA |
| Australia | Australia |
Tracking
When your print is on its way, you'll get a tracking link so you can follow it to your door.
Customs, duties and taxes
- UK: your print is made and sent within the UK, so there is nothing extra to pay.
- Ireland and the EU: your print is sent from the Netherlands, which is inside the EU, so there are normally no customs charges. A few places count as outside the EU for tax, such as the Canary Islands, and import charges may apply there.
- Norway and Switzerland: your print is sent from the Netherlands, and these countries are outside the EU. This means the local post or courier may ask you to pay import VAT, and sometimes a small handling fee, when your parcel arrives. These charges are set by your country and are paid by the person receiving the parcel.
- USA: your print is made and sent within the USA, so there are no customs charges.
- Australia: your print is made and sent within Australia, so there are no customs charges.
Digital copies
Your digital copy is sent by email once you approve your proof, so there's nothing to wait for in the post.
