Sew Essential will deliver items worldwide. Viewing items on the basket page always shows the delivery charge. We endeavor to ship items as quickly as possible, and UK orders will usually be dispatched within 3 working days. However, in the unlikely event that an ordered item is not in stock and will take longer than 3 working days, we will notify you immediately.

Overseas orders will be dispatched within the same timeframe as UK orders, but will incur longer delivery times.
