Shipping options
We ship with Royal Mail by default.
Tracked and signed services are available at checkout.
Larger or higher-value orders may be sent by courier at our discretion.

EU orders (IOSS)
We are registered with the EU Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS). This means VAT is collected at checkout, so your parcel should clear customs without additional charges.

On rare occasions, a local post office may raise a request in error. If this happens, please contact us so we can help resolve it.

Customs, duties & de minimis
Outside the UK and EU, local duties or taxes may apply. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

United States: From 29 August 2025, new legislation means de minimis exemption no longer applies to many imported goods, and duties or taxes may be charged even on lower-value orders.

Other countries may also apply a de minimis threshold (a minimum order value below which duties are not collected). The amount and enforcement varies by country.
If your order is returned to us because duties were unpaid, we cannot refund the shipping costs.

Returns & refunds
We do not offer returns or exchanges unless an item is faulty.
If an item arrives damaged, please email us at orders@herblester.com within 7 days of receipt.

Packaging
All orders are packed securely and, where possible, using recyclable materials.
