UK Shipping

If you require super fast postage or you are hoping for your item/s for a particular occasion, just pop us over an email on theoctopusgardenuk@outlook.com, or send us a DM on insta!

USA shipping

Postage cost: $18-33 depending on weight

IMPORTANT - since Trump’s tariffs were introduced in August 2025, anything imported into the US incurs a customs charge. Once your parcel is shipped, you will receive an email from Evri asking you to pay this charge before the parcel can be released from the UK. 

You will have two weeks to pay any fees, then the parcel will be returned to us and you will be asked to pay the shipping again. Please please keep an eye on your emails and pay promptly. Unfortunately this is something we have no control over and we hope this changes soon.

PLEASE NOTE that while we very rarely encounter any issues using Evri services, occasionally packages will take longer than expected. Please be patient and keep an eye on your tracking!

We only have access to the same tracking information that you are provided with via email, and cannot offer any further updates. All packages have a return address on them and will be sent back to us if there is a problem delivering. At this point the buyer is responsible for paying for repeat shipping. We do not offer refunds for lost packages, buyer is responsible for putting a claim in to Evri if they believe their package is lost.
