📮Late date for Christmas delivery has now passed. Orders will still be posted but will not arrive before Christmas 📦

I just love the latest book from Polruan based author Cate Merrin. With toilet humour galore and lots of local references (I can neither confirm nor deny where Sandycrack Cove might be inspired by....) this is a rollicking great read which will be loved by all ages. As long as you don't mind fart jokes! Don't forget to hunt for Patrick the Perwinkle on each page..

Click here to read my Small Business Spotlight focus for more information about Cate and the inspiration behind her humorous hero.

Can Captain Seasick keep his trumps in his underpants and his pasty in his belly long enough to save the day and become a Right Royal Super Hero?

Will he get the Duke and Duchess of Kernow safely to Sandycrack Cove for the Big Beach Clean?

And who else aboard "Up She Comes" might just explode at both ends?


Shipping & Returns

Shipping policy

Christmas Deliveries 2024

Our cut off date for Christmas orders this year is Monday 16th December for UK and Monday 1st December for International. We are only posting via Royal Mail now and orders over £40 will be sent via 48 hour tracked delivery. We will continue to pack & post orders received after the above stated dates but please be aware that they may not arrive in time for Christmas. 
We would also reiterate that this is a busy time of year for Royal Mail and items can and do get lost on occasions. Please order as early as possible to avoid disappointment and bear in mind that there is next to nothing we can do once your order is in the postal system.

EU Orders under GPSR

Unfortunately with effect from Monday 9th December 2024 we will no longer be able to ship any orders to destinations within the EU. This includes Northern Ireland. This is due to the requirements and costs associated with the new General Product Safety Regulations 2024. Unfortunately it is simply not feasible for us as a small business stocking products made predominantly by small and micro independent businesses to comply with these requirements at this time. We recommend ordering to a UK based address instead such as a friend or family member so that they can send on for you as these Regulations only relate to businesses.

Dispatch time

We aim to pack and dispatch orders all within three working days. This time should be added to the typical delivery time stated for your chosen method of carriage. Please remember that we are not Amazon Prime and it is not possible to arrange next day delivery. If you are absolutely desperate for an item please contact us by email BEFORE placing your order to discuss options.

*The terms below relate to shipping within the UK mainland*

Royal Mail

Choose from second class shipping at a flat rate of £3.25 per order or first class shipping at flat rate of £4.50 per order. These services will not be tracked.

Orders over £40 (excluding print on demand clothing products fulfilled by our partner company Teemill) will automatically attract free shipping and will generally be sent via Royal Mail Tracked 48 or where that service is not available by Royal Mail Signed For

Unfortunately we are unable to offer free shipping on overs over ÂŁ40 including print on demand clothing fulfilled by our print partner Teemill. Teemill clothing orders are printed to order and will be posted to you direct by Teemill. Any other items ordered will be posted by us from Fowey.

Evri 

We no longer offer shipping with Evri as an option as sadly they are just too unreliable for a small business like this.

Local delivery

We are not currently offering local delivery as an option. Please select collect from the shop if you live locally and want to avoid postage.

Collection from the shop

Available during opening hours, collection within three working days of order. You will be sent an email when your order is ready to collect.

Lost items

We will not be able to consider refunds until at least 14 working days have passed from the date of postage. During periods of industrial action this will be extended to at least 21 days and we would ask you to please be patient in those circumstances. If your order has not arrived after 14 days please contact us by email.

​If there are any extenuating circumstances which might delay your order further, you will be notified by email to advise of the delay and to discuss options.

Returns & refunds

Please click here to read our returns & refunds policy.

International Shipping

Post Brexit International Shipping has become exceptionally onerous for small businesses, particularly ones like mine which mainly ship domestically. Shipping charges will often vary considerably depending exactly what items are purchased. Your order will be sent via the postage service which most closely matches the amount you have paid for postage. If there is a significant discrepancy we will refund any overpayment and reserve the right to contact you to discuss options in the event of underpayment.

As a small business with minimal margins on our gift products we are unable to absorb shipping costs over and over the amount paid and hope that you will understand this. Unfortunately we are unable to offer a free shipping service internationally.

We will complete the relevant customs forms but will not be responsible for any tax which may be levied for collection within the destination country as this is simply too big and complicated an undertaking for us to deal with when we handle so few international orders. Please make yourself aware of any shipping restrictions pertaining to the destination country. We recommend using this guide before ordering to check that we are able to ship the item you intend to order.
