Hi everyone! Quick update on how ordering will work in my Whatnot shows.
Shipping will continue exactly as normal — you can still build a storage box with me and purchase a UPS label at the end, just like before.
The only change is this:
👉 Whatnot now requires me to physically send something for every order.
Since I can’t send that required item to the U.S., I have to mail a small envelope to myself here in France to complete the order in the system.
Because of that, the “Free Pickup” option is being removed, and Whatnot will automatically add a small shipping charge of about $2–$3 per order. Unfortunately, this part is unavoidable.
Nothing else changes.
You can still build your storage box, keep buying throughout the week, and then pay for your UPS shipping label when you’re ready — exactly the same as before.
This new step is simply administrative nonsense I have to do in the background to keep everything running.
👉 To make sure everything goes smoothly, please add my address to your Whatnot account:
11 Avenue de Verdun
87210 Le Dorat
France
Once this is saved you'll need to use it as the delivery address for my shows. Remember to change it back to your actual home address after the show to continue buying normally on whatnot in the US. With this method you'll also be able to buy anything from my shop and Buy Now sections with no issues at all.

A quick note about U.S. tariffs
Any U.S. import tariffs are currently the responsibility of the buyer. When I ship with UPS, I pay all duties and taxes on my side to get your box released and moving out of the country. After that, UPS will email you directly with the tariff amount required for delivery.
I’m working hard to keep these fees as low as possible, and at the moment they are averaging around $29–$45 added to the shipping cost.

If you need help updating your address or have questions about any of this, just message me — I’m here to make it easy 💛
Notice: This charge is only for the required envelope — your purchased items will ship later when you pay for your UPS shipping label as usual.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
