Tariffs and US Shipping

Following the implementation of US tariffs on parcels from China, Chinapost have stopped accepting parcels destined for the US.   We're not sure how long this will last.

Orders

We can ship directly from China to the US including tariffs and customs clearance.  Unfortunately this is more expensive than the regular Chinapost and we can't offer free shipping any more.   We have a flat rate of $30 for orders under $150 and $20 for orders over $150.   These generally take around 20 days to arrive.

Teaclub Parcels

For teaclub members, the shipping cost becomes prohibitive within the cost structure of the teaclub, but we could stretch to shipping every 2 months instead of monthly.   This combined shipping is an option that we've been offering for a long time for our EU customers who face import duties.  With this option,  the subscription payments continue on a monthly basis, but we consolidate 2 months shipments into one parcel and ship every 2 months.  

So...

• Jan, Feb parcels are sent at the beginning of Feb.  
• March, April are sent at the beginning of April.
• May, June are sent at the beginning of June
• July, Aug parcels at the beginning of August.  
• Sept, Oct parcels are sent at the beginning of October
• Nov, Dec parcels at the beginning of December.

These parcels will ship to you direct from China
