I just wanted to let you all know today is my last day for free shipping worldwide. For you lovely international clients, I do want to give you a heads up: customs restrictions are getting enforced a lot more on both sides of the pond, and because of that, I have been hearing reports of people who still had to pay a customs charge on items marked as “gift” To my knowledge this has not happened to anyone who has ordered from me recently, but it’s best to err on the side of caution.
For those interested in the Oh So Very Perfume spray, it may be a good idea to contact me privately before ordering. Because it contains denatured alcohol I have to ship it by UPS, which always starts at $10. While I can ship it internationally via UPS, it would likely be prohibitively expensive so I’m reserving the scent for US customers only.* Your best bet may be to set up a custom order with me and add other items to that shipment to get the best value considering the expense of shipping.
You may or may not see a lot of new stuff from me in 2010; I’m focusing on my writing career, and while I will keep my Etsy shop open and always give my clients the best service I can, there’s just stuff I gotta write. I’m also growing a lot of catnip, as it’s my goal to get cats hooked on drugs. My first batch sprouted today. You’ll see more in 3-5 months.
*I have some perfume solids coming that ship internationally very easily. Hopefully this will make up the unavailability of the perfume spray.
Happy New Year, and all the best in 2010!
