Local taxes and duties: All orders are shipped directly from the UK. Some countries may require you to pay import duties and/or taxes once your order arrives at its destination. Unfortunately we have no control over these charges and we can't tell you exactly how much you will be charged, as this varies widely depending on the country you live in. For further detail we suggest that you check import duties, customs and local sales taxes with your postal service and/or local customs office before placing your order.

We'll do our best to make sure your order reaches you on time but given the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit (for our European customers), your order may take longer to reach you than usual. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Frequently asked questions
A selection of our most frequently asked questions.
This is probably your Paypal confirmation email which will default to the shipping address associated with your Paypal account. Don't worry though- we will use the shipping address that you entered at the checkout
This can happen if you didn't enter your e-mail address at the checkout stage of your order, or if you spelt your e-mail address incorrectly. Also please check your 'junk' e-mail folder as sometimes our e-mails do end up in there! If you still can't find your confirmation e-mail, please e-mail us at hello@thebigbloomerscompany.co.uk with your full name, and we will forward you your order confirmation.
The chances are, yes. Tights are very elastic and we are giving the largest size the tights will stretch to rather than the smallest size they contract to. However, please be aware that if you are smaller than the stated size range of the tights and shorter than average in the leg, then some of our tights may be too long for you, so please do give us a call for advice if that's the case.
You can pay using a debit card/credit card (we accept Mastercard, Visa and AMEX), or PayPal. Some customers will also have the option of Google Pay or Apple Pay if they have either of these already set up on their device.
