Friday 22nd August **SHIPPING TO US SUSPENDED** NB Bigcartel's shipping options are clunky so you may still be able to choose the US as a destination. However your order will have to be cancelled and refunded! As of 23.59 UK time on Thursday 21st August, I’m taking a hiatus on accepting orders from the USA. This is because of all the tariff stuff going on, and specifically the revocation of the de minimis exemption of duty on goods valued under $800. This means that in theory import duties could be imposed on any goods shipped to the US, and for a time, there’s a flat fee of $$$$$ which wayyy outstrips the value of the goods. Books and printed papers like zines have so far been exempt from changes like this, and I have no reason to believe they won’t continue to be. However, until the information becomes clearer, it’s not really worth the risk of slapping you or me with some silly fee. Once everything’s sorted, I’ll resume shipping as before.
Friday 25th July ** I'll be donating all proceeds from my shop (any profit + as much as I can afford of other costs) to charities supporting the Palestinian people. The charities chosen will depend on need and circumstance at the time of donation. If a zine is already raising money for other charities (e.g. Miscarriage Association or Baby Bank Network) I'll be honoring those donations too.**
Why is there more than one price on some of your zines?
This is to offer people the chance to pay what they feel they can afford for zines and books I publish myself. The lower prices roughly correspond to cost price (which is the price it costs to print the zine), a mid-point and the full price.
Why do you do this?
I think it's important to make this kind of work as available as possible, and I hope this goes some way towards that. I know postage is expensive and life is expensive too.
Can I really choose to pay less?
Yes! I won’t be at all upset.
How long will it take for my orders to be dispatched?
I do my best to send orders out as soon as I can after receiving them. However, often I have to print and hand-make the zines, and I also work full-time. This means it can sometimes take a little while for orders to get posted. If you need something urgently, please do let me know!
