Important notice re deliveries
Please note that deliveries to Europe may be delayed by post-Brexit customs checks. HorseDrawn has been issued an Economic Operators Registration number for exports, and will complete correct customs paperwork, but cannot be held responsible for delays. Please also note that overseas buyers may be liable for customs and/or other duties and/or VAT. Horsedrawn has no control over these charges, and there is no way for these fees to be paid in advance.
Delivery Prices
Currently we calculate shipping costs by checkout price. So far we have found this accurate than calculating by weight. The prints cost much more to send than the cards despite being similar weight as parcel dimensions become a factor. As of 23rd February, prices are held from 2020, but will be under post-Brexit review in March 2021 as our shipping agents have increased their costs.
