After the recent cyber incident Royal Mail have now resumed their international services.   Royal Mail now states:  "Delivery of International items may take slightly longer than usual and customers using Tracked services may notice different tracking information as items leave the UK."   Please note:  Domestic (UK) services are not affected.   As always, thank you for your patience and understanding.   Blessings, Caryl

As mentioned on this website in Shipping/Postage & Packaging, and in Terms & Conditions - Delivery, I use Royal Mail for all my shipping requirements.   Unfortunately Royal Mail has experienced a cyber incident that has caused disruption to international services.   Please note:  Domestic (UK) services are still fully operational. I will continue to accept international orders, however please understand that dispatch of these orders will be delayed until

I've been desperately trying to keep up with the rules and regulations of shipping packages to Europe. Although I ship my products worldwide, Charms Of Light is still a very small business.  Because of this, I have made the decision to keep things as simple as possible for everyone.     From 1st July, the VAT threshold for items sent to the EU dropped to zero. This means that ALL goods may now be subject to VAT and a clearance fee, while goods above

Although it was only a couple of months ago that I updated my shipping rates, unfortunately I have had to make some new adjustments for airmail to the EU and World Zones 1, 2 & 3.     I use UK Royal Mail for all my postal deliveries. Unfortunately the Covid situation and Brexit is still causing some delays to airmail deliveries in some countries, and I have received a few complaints.  While I wish I could do something about these delays, they are really

Am I the only one who reads the terms and conditions on websites before purchasing something?  Maybe it’s because I have a website of my own, although I don’t think so.     When I purchase something online I always check the terms and conditions and the returns policy, just in case something doesn’t look like I expect, or doesn’t fit etc.  If I want to buy something that is going to be worn, I want to know that I can return it if it

I've always tried to be as environmentally friendly as I can.  I recycle just about everything.  Every time I make something new with silver wire I save the leftover bits - even the tiny little pieces - to use at a later date as a single chain link, or to eventually send away to a company that melts the silver down for reuse. I hadn't really thought about where that melted down silver ended up, so I was actually blown away when a little while ago I discovered that

What does "Being Strong" mean to you? I've always been thought of as being a strong person.  People tell me, "you're such a strong woman"!  I often hear, "I wish I was as strong as you." Sometimes I think that strength is mistakenly seen as knowing what you want and doing what you need to get it, or telling someone that the service you've received wasn't what it should have been.  These things aren't strength, they are

If you are one of my newsletter subscribers you will see that I made a mistake last night.  I've been trying to set up some extra little admin type things to the running of my website and sent myself a test email to see if something worked, except instead of sending the email to myself, I made the mistake of sending it to everyone on my newsletter list! OOPS!!   Having realised this mistake, my first thought was - - - actually, I won't say what my first thought
