As you are aware, there is significant disruption to international air travel due to the Covid-19 virus. As most of our parcels travel from the UK on commercial flights we are working hard with our delivery partners to minimise the disruption to our deliveries. However the reduction in flights to the USA has severely reduced capacity and increased our costs in the short term. To maintain our service we have taken the difficult decision to increase shipping charges for standard orders. We hope this will be a temporary measure whilst action is taken to limit the spread of the virus. Please accept our apologies and thank you for your patience and understanding.
