FAQ
Do you ship overseas?
HOORAY – We now ship to the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
Unfortunately we have had to stop shipping to other EU countries including Northern Ireland due to the new GPSR legislation. - Update! I am now looking in to shipping to other EU countries so hopefully this will be an option again soon!
Customs and Import taxes
If you are ordering from outside the UK, your order may be subject to import duties, taxes, and customs fees when it arrives in your country. These charges are set by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the buyer.
Unfortunately, we have no control over these costs and can’t predict what they might be, as every country has its own rules and thresholds. We also can’t mark orders as “gifts” or alter the customs value, as this is against the law.
If you’re unsure about the possible charges, we recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order so there are no surprises when your parcel arrives.
When will my item be shipped?
Ready-made orders are usually packaged up and sent out within 10 working days.
Please remember Iddy Biddy Titty is a micro business and there isn’t a massive warehouse team behind the scenes. It’s literally just one person packing orders (the studio bitch 😂).
Every piece is handmade and processed by a very small team (of 2), so things can get a bit chaotic after drops. We're always working as fast as possible, so please be patient and allow the stated turnaround times before chasing your order 😊
When will my order arrive?
UK - We currently send UK orders via Royal Mail Tracked 48. This delivery service usually takes around 2 working days once your parcel has been dispatched 😊
Please don’t forget this delivery timeframe is separate from packing/processing times. Orders still need to be handmade, packed and processed before they are collected by Royal Mail.
You can also choose Royal Mail Tracked 24 at checkout for faster delivery. We try to prioritise and get these orders sent out first where possible.
International shipping – All items are sent via Royal Mail International Tracked. Their website advises that this takes around 7-10 working days but please keep customs in mind as sometimes they can keep hold of parcels for longer than expected. Please also keep in mind that parcels can take longer to be delivered during busy times like Christmas. I cannot take any responsibility for any delays.
Please note: It’s a really busy time of year for deliveries, so shipping may take a little longer than usual. Tracking information is automatically emailed to you as soon as your order is dispatched — this can sometimes land in your spam or junk folder, so please check there too.
The tracking email will include the delivery service handling your parcel, along with their contact details. If you need help or updates regarding delivery, please reach out to the courier directly, as they’ll have the most accurate and up-to-date information. I can only see the same tracking updates that you receive.
Are your items handmade?
Absolutely!
Every piece is made by hand by me and my team in our studio. We use a mixture of wheel throwing, slip casting and handbuilding techniques, depending on the piece we're making. Everything then goes through multiple stages of making, glazing and firing, so the whole process takes time and a lot of care.
Please expect slight imperfections, variations and little quirks in the finish. This can include differences in lettering, glaze, colour, texture, shape and small marks like glaze drips created during the making and firing process. These are all part of the nature of handmade pottery, rather than mass-produced items.
We put a huge amount of time and care into every piece, but handmade ceramics won't have the perfectly uniform finish of something made in a factory. You may notice little quirks, variations in glaze or slight wonkiness — these are part of what makes each piece unique.
If you're looking for something perfectly uniform, handmade pottery might not be for you. But if you love the beauty of something unique, made slowly and by hand, you're in the right place!
Please take this into consideration before ordering, as the individual characteristics of handmade pottery are part of what makes every piece special.
How does ordering work?
We now restock bi-weekly, and stock tends to sell out very quickly, so it’s best to be prepared!
Here’s the schedule:
- Around the end of each month, we release a Made to Order drop which will be spaces for made to order items.
- Around two weeks later, there’s a Ready Made restock with more pre-made items ready to ship.
If a Made to Order item says “Sold Out”, that means all available slots have already been taken for this round. More spaces will open in the next drop.
To stay in the loop and increase your chances of grabbing what you want, sign up to the email list—you’ll get early updates about restocks, new drops, and available spaces.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes! if you’re looking for something personal then you can order from then MADE TO ORDER section on the website.
Can I make a change to my made to order piece?
Once a made-to-order piece has entered production or has been completed, we are unable to make any changes to the design, specifications, or details of the order. Due to the bespoke nature of these items, all made-to-order purchases are final and non-refundable. Please ensure that all details are correct before confirming your order, as we cannot accommodate modifications or offer refunds once work has begun.
Please double-check all wording, colours and design choices before placing your order.
We understand that sometimes changes are needed, but as made-to-order pieces involve a lot of planning and administration, any amendments requested more than 48 hours after placing your order will incur a £5 administration fee.
Changes may not be possible once production has started, and we cannot guarantee amendments to orders already in progress.
Thank you for understanding and helping us keep production running smoothly!
Do you sell your work on any other sites or social media accounts?
Do you sell on Etsy?
No! Iddy Biddy Titty Co. does not have an Etsy shop.
If you see our designs being sold on Etsy, or anywhere else that isn't through my official website or social media, they are not being sold by us and are not affiliated with Iddy Biddy Titty Co.
Unfortunately, we am very aware that a number of people have copied our original designs, products, wording and even used photographs of our actual work to sell their own products.
This is something we take extremely seriously.
So when another business takes an original design that we've spent lots of time developing, makes their own version of it and sells it as though they've come up with the idea themselves, it isn't just a bit of harmless "inspiration". It directly takes away from the person who actually put the time, money and creativity into creating it.
Copying is especially shit for small independent businesses.
We're not a huge corporation with a massive team of lawyers sitting around waiting for someone to copy a product. We're a small handmade business, and every sale matters. When someone copies an original design and sells a cheaper version of it, they're benefiting from all of the hard work that went into creating, photographing, marketing and building recognition around that product, without having done any of that work themselves.
Even worse, copying can make customers think that the copied product came first, or that the businesses are connected, when they aren't.
We've unfortunately had instances of people copying our actual products, copying very distinctive design elements, using our photographs and creating listings that are clearly intended to benefit from the recognition we've built around our work. We actively monitor for this and will challenge copying where appropriate.
Please also be aware that buying from a copied listing does not support our small business. If you want the genuine Iddy Biddy Titty Co. version, please purchase directly through this website.
If you spot an Etsy listing or another website that you think is copying my work, you're very welcome to send us a screenshot or the link so I can look into it.
Thank you for supporting the original rather than the copy.
What happens if i missed my delivery and it has been returned?
If a delivery attempt is missed and the parcel is not collected or rescheduled in time, it may be returned to us. Unfortunately, we can’t cover the cost of resending items in these cases, so if your order is sent back, you’ll need to pay for postage again as well as any customs/import fees before we can re-ship it.
Please make sure your shipping details are correct at checkout and that someone is available to receive the parcel, or that you collect it promptly from your local depot to avoid delays and extra charges.

I need to ask you something about my order, how can I contact you?
Can I have an update on my 'made to order' purchase?
If you’ve placed a made-to-order item, please note that these typically take up to 13 weeks to complete. we kindly ask that you hold off on getting in touch about your order unless it’s been more than 13 weeks since you placed it — thank you so much for your patience and understanding!
If you'd like to see what we're currently working on, you can also check out our Instagram and Facebook Stories. We usually share updates from the studio each day, including what we're making, glazing, firing and packing, so it's the best place to see what stage current orders are likely to be at.
Returns FAQ
Can I return my order?
We want you to love your order, but we understand sometimes things don’t work out.
Made to Order & Seconds Items
Please note that any Made to Order or Seconds pieces are non-refundable. These items are handmade specifically for you or sold at a discounted price due to minor imperfections, so we're unable to accept returns or exchanges on them.
All Other Items
If you’d like to return an item that isn’t Made to Order or a Second, it must be:
-
Returned in its original, unused condition
-
Sent back within 2 weeks from the order date.
- Returned in the original packaging and packed in the same way it arrived
Our pieces are handmade and fragile, so proper packaging is essential to avoid damage in transit. Unfortunately, we can’t be held responsible for items that break due to insufficient packaging on return.
If you’re unsure how to repack your item, feel free to get in touch before sending it back and I’ll happily advise.
