Idle Shopping News

16 October 2009

We have made several improvements to the Idler Shop. Firstly we have cut down on waiting time. All items to the UK are now sent first class, and we will mail out twice a week. This means you should not have to wait more than seven days to receive your items. Orders to the rest of the world are sent air mail.

In addition, all items will now be sent gift-wrapped in hand-printed snail bags and we can add a personalised message for the recipient on Idler postcards. Just give us your instructions in the comments section of the order form. We also pack a letterpress anti-Twitter bookmark, designed and printed by Christian Brett, with every order.

What’s more, orders within the UK can be sent to multiple addresses.

The shop is groaning with books, t-shirts, hoodies and pamphlets, and you can have a look around here.
