Small goods

Pieces that belong in one modest box.

The shop is the email. You choose small goods, we pack them in Doncaster, and a carrier takes the parcel. There is no counter of stock for you to pick through.

Paper

Notebooks and other flat stationery that slide into a mailer or sit on top of a softer item.

To wear or hear

A plain watch or a pair of headphones, posted as a single small parcel rather than with a crate of stock.

Wash bag

Bars of soap and similar light household pieces people reorder when they run out.

How to describe a piece

Say what it is and, if it matters, the colour or size. “Black over-ear headphones” is clearer than “the usual ones”. “Four notebooks, mixed covers” is enough if you do not mind the patterns.

We confirm the exact pieces before we pack. A substitute only goes in the box if you have agreed to it.

One parcel, a few lines

Most orders are two to six small items. They share one label and one postage cost. Adding a heavy extra can change the postage, so we quote again if the list grows.

UK addresses only. Include the postcode in the first email or the quote will wait.

A usual order

Someone emails for two notebooks and a bar of soap, to a Doncaster postcode. We reply the same weekday with the postage. They accept. The three pieces are wrapped so the soap does not mark the paper, and the parcel goes out on the next collection.

A gift to another town works the same way. The name on the label is the one you write, and we do not add a note inside unless you ask for a line of text.

What stays off the list

Large household kit, bulk cases for a shop, and anything that needs two people to lift. Petty Things posts small goods. If the request is really a wholesale order, we will say it does not fit this desk.

Ask if we can post it

Send the list to info@petty-things.online. A photo is useful only if you are matching a colour. The words are enough to start.
