USA SHIPPING NEWS: Tariffs Now Included in the Price!!

Hello my yarn enthusiast friend.

My tiny, one person yarn dyeing biz, is based in Italy 🇮🇹

From August 29th 2025, due to new US regulations, all goods sent to US are subject to tariff rates. After months of adjustments by postal services, I'm happy to share that we're now shipping to the USA again with a clear and transparent system.

How it works now

🎯 Good news: the price you see is the final price!

• All shipments to the USA are now sent via Poste Italiane (standard tracked mail) with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service
• The 10% tariff is already included in the product price — what you pay at checkout is truly the total cost
• You won't pay any additional tariffs, taxes, or fees upon delivery
• The package is fully tracked and arrives directly to your door

What changed

Previously, shipping via UPS meant you'd pay tariffs and processing fees at delivery. Now, everything is handled upfront and transparently:

• ✅ Tariffs are pre-calculated and already in the price
• ✅ No surprise fees at the door
• ✅ Standard tracked shipping (reliable and reasonable speed)
• ✅ Full visibility on what you're paying

Shipping times and rates

Poste Italiane standard tracked mail to the USA typically takes 10-21 business days. Shipping rates have been updated to reflect the new tariff structure — check the shipping calculator at checkout for current rates to your location.

Why DDP matters

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means I handle all customs and tariff responsibilities. You receive your package with nothing else to pay. It's the simplest and most transparent way to shop internationally.

I'm grateful for your patience during this transition, and I'm excited to keep bringing you beautiful hand-dyed yarns from Ariccia. US knitters have been part of my SnailYarn family since the beginning — over a decade ago — and I'm thrilled we found a solution that works for everyone.
