Our products are handmade in the UK - therefore they have a 'Production Time' prior to their 'Shipping Time'. Each product listing shows how long it takes to be made by our Artisans in our workshop. You'll find this information below the 'Add to Cart' button on each listing in the form of a timeline with icons.

Please not that 'working days' do not include weekends or Bank Holidays; our workshop is closed on these days.

Please note that during Sales or new product releases our Artisans work extremely hard to meet demand, but there may be a slight delay in your order if volumes are high.

COURIERS for UK Standard Delivery are Royal Mail & DHL UK:

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. We are not responsible for delays due to customs or customs fees not being paid for by the purchaser. 

Delivered Duties Paid: Prior to 1st January 2021, businesses could move goods freely between EU member states; the impact of Brexit now means that fees are involved with the exporting of goods from the UK in to the EU.

What does 'Duties Paid' mean? 

At Checkout you will now see two options for delivery into the EU. DHL Economy Select or DHL Economy Select Delivered Duties Paid. If you select the delivered duties paid option this means that the shipping price you see at checkout will be the only chargeyou will have - The Blackened Teeth will settle all fees prior to your parcel arriving; you'll encounter no additional charges.

If you select the DHL Economy Select option and do not wish to pay for the 'Duties Paid' service, DHL will email you for collection of the applicable fees upon arrival in to your country. Please be sure to check you're selecting the correct shipping method; we can't change your order to a 'Duties Paid' service if you have selected a normal method (that will incur fees upon arrival). 
Our EU Free Shipping option (for orders €125.00 and over) is NOT delivered duties paid.
