Safety:

​

Items sold in the "New Old Jokes" section have their relevant age requirements and safety information in their descriptions and on the packaging. Please follow any guidance given. 

​

Vintage, used and antique items found in the "Old Old Jokes" section are sold as collectables strictly for adults only. They are not toys and should not be handled by children as they will not meet current safety regulations. Use by adults of any of these jokes is entirely at their own risk. Itching and sneezing powders and all other chemical items in these sections are not to be used on humans or animals under any circumstances and are sold as collectable display items only.

We do not collect import taxes at checkout, all parcels are posted DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid). If you would like to pay your duty upfront please see if the product is available on our Etsy shop here, or let us know your order and we will send you an Etsy invoice for this.

Due to Etsy fees, this invoice will include a charge of 15% on the product total for orders over £25 or 20% for orders under £25.

 

Some products, particularly chemical items and items containing percussion caps, may be illegal to import into your country and may be held at your customs. Please check your local laws before ordering. We are not responsible for any costs or delays applied by customs agencies.

​

Occasionally, on unusually heavy or large orders, postage costs vary from the automatic quote given. On these very rare occasions, a manual quote will be given and the purchaser can choose to proceed with the purchase or cancel the order and receive a full refund.
