International Postage

International Postage / Sending Overseas

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

Sending to the EU in 2025

Sending to the EU remains problematic for us as a small business.  While it is not ideal, our current policy is to send items via eBay.  You can either place your order direct and eBay will calculate the postage and VAT payable on import, or place the order via our store and we will organise the dispatch via our eBay portal, charging a flat rate for this service (£10 for one calendar, £12 for two).  This double handling is not ideal, but allows items to be delivered until a better solution is available to us.  Please email us if you experience any difficulties placing your order.

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.
