About SnailYarn Shipping
SnailYarn is a one-person micro business. I'm committed to finding the best balance between shipping cost and service quality for my customers worldwide. Every shipping choice I make is designed to get your beautiful hand-dyed yarn to you safely and affordably.
How I Ship
I ship all orders within 3 to 5 working days. Because it's just me, please allow this timeframe. For pre-orders, add another 2–4 weeks for dyeing before I ship.
All shipments are tracked, so you can follow your parcel's journey. If anything goes wrong, I can investigate with the carrier and help sort it out.
