International Postage

International Postage / Sending Overseas

This page provides details of our international postage services and how to send Evocative Cornwall parcels overseas.

EU UPDATE 

Increasingly, deliveries to the EU have become problematic following the introduction of VAT requirements under the Brexit arrangements.  We have tried several approaches to meeting these requirements, none of which have been ideal for our customers.  In desperation therefore, as a small business, we have decided to service these orders through Ebay.  You can find a link to the page to purchase our calendar here.

We are so very frustrated that we need to direct our wonderful customers to anywhere other than our own on-line store, but by doing so your delivery should arrive safely with all taxes paid up-front.  The majority of EU customers come to us to purchase the calendar and this is the product that you will find there.  If you wish to purchase any other items, please email us with your requirements so that we can raise a custom invoice for you.

With sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

International Postage Options for destinations other than the EU

When it comes to international postage, we are currently sending overseas via Royal Mail.  Two options are available: International Standard (formerly Airmail) or International Economy (surface mail).

 

International Standard

The postage quoted when you enter your items automatically defaults to International Standard.

It may be the case that the actual postage cost is much less than that automatically generated (depending on parcel dimensions as well as weight).  One or two calendars, for example, can often be sent at the 'Large Letter' rate, which is considerably cheaper.  It is never a problem to let you know the cost in advance, just email us with your requirements.  We will automatically refund the excess should the postage be significantly less than you have been charged.

International Economy

To destinations beyond the EU, we can also offer the more cost effective International Economy service. Please contact us for a quote.  This service is unfortunately only possible for countries outside Europe, and please note that transit times vary enormously, often being very much longer than for International Standard parcels, so please plan accordingly!

 

Sending Large Parcels Overseas

If you have a large order to send overseas, please contact Evocative Cornwall for an international postage and packing quote.  

Early Bird Offer

Once a year, in early Autumn, we notify our subscribers of a special offer to send calendars abroad as economically as possible.  If you would be interested in this offer reminder, please ensure you are signed up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page.
