FREE DELIVERY Over the past year and a half, the supply chains we rely on have suffered. Brexit, Covid and reduced availability of shipping containers were among many hurdles they’ve faced. As you will be aware, this has resulted in delays and out of stocks on the products you know and love. As a valued customer, we want to do all we can to show you that we sympathise and understand that it is frustrating. As a shortterm measure, and to kick off Traidcraft Week celebrations, we are reducing your minimum spend for free delivery to £35. We hope that this will make it easier for you to reach the minimum threshold, even if one of the items you’ve had your eye on is currently out of stock.
