WARNING:

IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATES REGARDING THE DELIVERIES TO THE UK

1. With the current situation that is developing around the world, couriers and shipping agents are overwhelmed, understaffed and struggling to keep up with demand.

On a daily basis, the UK Customs implement new restrictions concerning the imports from countries classified as “high risk countries”, Portugal included.

We advise to expect delays in the arrival of your parcel by some days. Rest assured, we will do our upmost to ensure all parcels are sent out on time, and with the situation developing each day we hope that arrival times will improve.

Please understand that there is little we can do once a parcel has been sent in terms of locating and we advise contacting couriers first.
