USA Shipping updates!

Hello hello everyone! I've been postponing posting this because I'm still trying to figure this whole tariff thing out, but I wanted to give you some updates!

First things first: ✨ I'll continue to ship to the US, both on my shop and on Patreon! ✨


What is going on:

  • the U.S. recently changed its customs rules: small parcels from abroad may now get a 15% tariff payment or a new flat $80 fee (ONLY for the first 6 months of this change).

  • there used to be a minimum order of 800$ that would mean you didn't had to pay this, but this doesn't exist anymore: any order, no matter the value now is subject to customs and fees.


    IMPORTANT!

    If you’re ever asked to pay the $80 fee, please refuse the package!

    I’ll either

  • - Resend it or give you a refund,

  • - Or you can choose to cancel ou downgrade your tier for flat items, if it eases your mind - in case of Patrons or Website members with goodie boxes


What does this mean:

For orders with flat items

  • This includes Sticker Bundle Tiers and Medium Bundle Tiers (with postcards or bookmarks)

  • For flat items like stickers, bookmarks and postcards, I send them as letters: these are the safest and usually pass without extra charges

  • For this option there's a lower chance that you're asked to pay either the 15% fees or the fixed 80$ fee from USPS

  • If Customs ever asks you to pay the $80 fee, please refuse the package and I’ll send it over again or you can choose to cancel your


For larger/bulkier items

  • This includes the Ultimate Bundle and Super Supporter Tiers

  • For these orders and tiers, I sometimes send larger goodies that don't fit in an envelope. This means I won't be able to send them as letters

  • There’s a chance Customs may apply the 15% or the 80$ flat fee on these packages

  • For now I'm sending them by local international mailers, which means they will be distributed by USPS: they can choose from the 15% fee or the 80$ flat fee

  • If you’re ever asked to pay the $80 fee, please refuse the package! It will be returned to me and we can figure out what to do together.


In short:

  • You can still order and I'll send your orders, just keep in mind the 15% fee will apply in most orders

  • If you get the notice to pay the 80$ flat fee please refuse the package!

  • If you want to be safe: order ONLY flat items! Fees may still apply but there's a less change of that happening


Please let me know if you have any questions!

Love,

Bia x
