Last updated: 14 July 2026
Everything you need to know about how Darling Twigs orders are made, shipped, and delivered. We ship anywhere in the UK and the US with free shipping on all orders.
This policy forms part of our Terms of Service. For information about returns or your right to cancel an order, please see our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Where we ship to
We currently ship free of charge to:
• United Kingdom
• United States
These are the 2 regions where we work with local print partners, which means your order is made closer to home and arrives faster. If your country isn't listed and you'd like to order, please message us via the contact form on our website - we may be able to arrange shipping on a case-by-case basis, though longer delivery times and additional costs may apply.
Shipping rates
Shipping is free on all orders, to all destinations we currently serve. There's no minimum order value and no shipping calculated at checkout - the price you see is the price you pay.
Free shipping is provided through our standard delivery option. We don't currently offer an expedited or express delivery option, although this may change in the future.
How orders are made and sent
Each Darling Twigs piece is printed especially for you. We don't hold stock - your item is made to order through one of our trusted print partners in your locality.
Once your order is confirmed, it moves into production. This typically takes 1 to 3 business days, during which the design is printed onto the garment, the item is finished, and it's packaged ready for despatch. As soon as it ships, you'll receive a confirmation email with tracking information.
Delivery times
Total delivery time, from the moment you place your order to the parcel arriving, depends on where you're based. The estimates below cover production plus shipping for our standard delivery service:
|
Destination |
Typical total delivery time |
|
United Kingdom |
2 to 4 business days |
|
United States |
3 to 5 business days |
These are estimates based on our average performance. Delivery times can vary slightly with carrier conditions, public holidays, customs handling, and seasonal demand (particularly around Christmas). We'll always do our best to set realistic expectations and to let you know if anything is likely to take longer than usual.
Tracking your order
Once your order has been despatched, you'll receive an email with a tracking number and a link to follow your parcel's progress.
Tracking information is provided by the carrier handling your delivery (Royal Mail, DPD, DHL, USPS, or local equivalents depending on the destination). Some carriers update tracking promptly; others can take a day or two to register. If your tracking information doesn't seem to be updating, please give it 48 hours before getting in touch - most updates catch up within that window.
Customs, duties and import taxes
Because we use local print partners in each of the regions we serve, the vast majority of our orders are produced and despatched within your country, which means no customs charges apply.
In a small number of cases, for example, if a specific size or colour isn’t available in your region, we will get in touch to ask if you’d like your order shipped from another country or whether you would prefer to choose a different product or receive a full refund.
Multiple-item orders
If you order more than one item, your products may occasionally arrive in separate parcels - particularly if they're being printed at different facilities or in different sizes. This won't cost you anything extra. You'll receive separate tracking information for each parcel.
Lost, delayed or missing parcels
Most parcels arrive on time, but occasionally something goes astray. If your tracking shows the parcel as delivered but you haven't received it, or if your parcel hasn't arrived within the expected window, please message us via the contact form on our website and we'll investigate with the carrier.
Depending on what we find, we'll either resend the item or refund you. Full details of how lost and delayed parcels are handled, including the timeframes within which to contact us, are set out in our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Damaged or faulty items
If your parcel arrives damaged, or the item itself is defective or different from what you ordered, please get in touch within 30 days. We'll replace or refund the item in full, and in most cases we won't ask you to send it back. See our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details.
Incorrect delivery addresses
Please double-check your delivery address before completing your order. We rely on the address you provide and cannot be responsible for parcels delivered to an incorrect address that was entered at checkout.
If you spot a mistake immediately, message us via the contact form on our website as quickly as possible and we’ll do our best to update the address.
If a parcel is returned to us because the address was incorrect or undeliverable, we’ll get in touch to arrange a replacement at your cost, or refund you for the item (excluding any shipping costs incurred in the original despatch).
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our delivery network, partners, or available services. The date at the top of this document shows when it was last updated.
