1. Orders and Shipping

When will my order be shipped?

We have a 1-3 working days shipping time. All our parcels are sent out by Royal Mail (Tracked 24 or Tracked 48). Depending on which one you pick, your order should arrive to you 1-3 days after shipping.

We do NOT ship orders using Evri (formerly known as Hermes UK).

*Packages may be delayed due to high demand in the holiday season or Royal Mail strikes*

Which delivery company do you use to ship orders?

All our parcels are sent out using Royal Mail. We do NOT ship orders using Evri (formerly known as Hermes UK).

Do you ship outside of the UK?

Yes, we ship to most countries in Europe using Royal Mail UK. This means the shipping in your country will likely be handled by one of Royal Mail's courier partners.

You can see the full list of supported countries on our checkout page. If your country is not listed, that means we don't ship there yet.

Important - Import duties or taxes: Please keep in mind that our shipping cost or order total does not include import duties. The receiver will be responsible for covering this before the delivery of your parcel. APS does not cover this cost.

Alternatively, you can also fill out our online form in our contact page and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

What does 'APS' stand for?

APS are the initials of our founder Ani Pereira Soto. The reason why Ani decided to call her brand APS is because she shares the same initials as her sister, with whom she started her first jewellery business, Kattai, at age of 17 back home in Venezuela.
