Shipping policy

Processing Times 

We aim to process all orders received within 2 working days although we will endeavour to process UK Express Delivery items the next working day provided they are received before 12 pm. 

UK Standard Delivery ( 2-3 working days  ) 

We offer free standard Royal Mail Tracked 48 delivery on all UK orders of £20 and over.

Orders of under £20 will be sent via Royal Mail Tracked at a shipping cost of £2.50. A tracking number will be provided. 

UK Express Delivery ( 1-2 working days )

UK Express Delivery is available at checkout at an additional cost. We use Royal Mail Tracked 24 . A tracking number will be provided. The cost will be calculated automatically at checkout.

International Delivery 

All international orders are sent via Royal Mail’s International tracked service and the cost is calculated automatically at checkout based on the total weight of your order. US shipping rates included the US tariffs and customs handling charge - please see note below ). Transit time is normally 5-8 business days worldwide and 3-5 business days within Europe  but can take longer at busy periods.

Taxes and Duties on International orders 

Buyers are responsible for any customs/local tax charges or customs clearance admin fees incurred when the goods arrive at their destination so please check with your local customs office if unsure if charges apply.

***IMPORTANT NEWS FOR US CUSTOMERS *** US Shipping rates are now updated (29/8/25)  to include US tariff costs. All tariff and handling costs will be paid via Royal Mail using their PDDP service prior to shipping so there should be no extra charges for you when your package arrives in the US and it should be delivered as usual.

Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee  delivery times as these are only guidelines provided by the carrier. Additionally, we cannot be held responsible for delivery delays due to official border checks on International orders. 

If you have any further questions regarding delivery please email us at info@bristolbettyvintage.com and we will be happy to advise.
