Frequently Asked Questions
Products & Purchasing
I usually update my shop once a month. To be sure you don't miss out, be sure to sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of the page.
I restock my shop about once a month and my pieces typcally sell out very quickly, usually within the first half hour.
If there is something you want, I recommend signing up for my newsletter so you can be on time for shop restocks.
I sometimes restock items after they are sold out, but not always. If there's something you want, it's best to buy it when available because I can't guarantee that I will restock it again once it is sold out.
No, I don't take customs or commissions because I don't have time.
Everything in my shop is designed and drawn by me :)

Packages can become delayed due to customs, especially around the holidays.
If your order does not arrive even after estimated times including the buffer for delays, please contact me at info@birdietam.art so we can sort it out.
Packaging
I do my best to be eco-friendly by using mainly paper and cardboard packaging and also re-using packing materials I have received in other parcels.
Prints are still packed in plastic sleeves, which will need to be plastic recycled.
Every ceramics parcel includes a note about recycling, so please check to see if you have biodegradable or plastic recyclable packing peanuts. Both packing peanut types are green so be sure to check!
- Biodegradble peanuts → Compost
- Plastic peanuts → Plastic recycling
If you're unsure of which ones you got, you can always take a photo of them and email me :)
To learn more about the packing peanuts I use, you can visit www.loosfill.eu.
I get all of my packing materials from suppliers in Sweden.
If you want to know more about my packaging materials, you can check out my YouTube video about eco-friendly packaging.
