Questions from delivery and shipping, dispatch times & other common queries

We ship internationally; to a wide range of countries including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong & Japan.

We currently do not ship to countries within Europe (apart from the UK). This is due to shipping complexities since the UK left the European Union.

To check whether we ship to your country, at checkout please enter your shipping information and you will be able to view the drop down list of countries, alternatively contact us via email if you are unsure.

The only payment method that we accept is PayPal. Please ensure that you have a PayPal account set up and ready, to be able to make a purchase.

A lot of development has been undertaken to ensure the headbands are flexible and cushioned to be as comfortable as possible - there's no pinching like some Parks ears tend to.

Each pair is handmade in the UK from start to finish and takes several hours to make. Some designs can take signficantly longer than others. Each element is hand finished. Every rhinestone/crystal is precisely hand placed.

Unfortunately we do not take Custom Order requests.

We are unable to accommodate any Special Circumstance Order requests or Urgent Order requests either, due to capacity restrictions, with each pair being hand crafted.

Every monthly shop opening, the designs available vary to include brand new designs and returning favourites, based on feedback from customers of what designs they wish to see. To know which designs will be available each month a preview will be shown on the website and instagram stories the week leading up to shop opening.

I often give the opportunity on Instagram stories to have your say on what designs you want each month, so make sure you're following the @earsbypixie account!

Some designs shown on instagram are previous custom orders, which won't be available for general shop release and unfortunately cannot be ordered. I generally disclose this information in the caption whether a design is Custom made.
