The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) is a European Union (EU) regulation that will come into effect on December 13, 2024. The GPSR aims to ensure that all consumer products sold in the EU are safe, and it places specific obligations on businesses to ensure this. This includes hiring a compliance officer who is based in Europe or Northern Ireland to confirm the quality of my items.
Therefore, with regret, as of the 7th December 2024 I am no longer able to post my gorgeous eye pillows and lavender bags to Northern Ireland. This slightly earlier date is to account for last minute order postage times and personal commitments taking me away from my studio!
Furthermore, annoyingly I am unable to deselect Northern Ireland as a shipping option on my Etsy Store, so it seems you will still be able to place an order if you reside in NI; rest assured you will receive a full refund until resolve this ๐
Lastly, please shop small this Christmas to help save your local small businesses! With various markets cancelled today due to the , an increasingly difficult market battling against large businesses and this new GPSR regulation next week, I suspect we will see alot of small businesses dissappear over the next few months without your help.
