We dispatch orders Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays.
Once your order has been processed, we aim to package and dispatch it as quickly as possible. This normally takes 24–48 hours.
Delivery typically takes 2–4 working days from the date of dispatch. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email confirmation with your tracking details.
If an item you have ordered is unfortunately out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible with an estimated lead time, offer an alternative product or colour where available, or provide you with a full refund.
Please refer to our Size Guide for measurements and fitting advice.
Once your order has been placed successfully, an order confirmation number will appear on screen, and you will receive a confirmation email shortly afterwards.
If you do not see an order confirmation number together with the message “Thank you for your order”, then your order has not gone through. In this case, please try placing your order again or contact us if you need assistance.
If your payment is not completing, the card being used may be blocked for international transactions or may not have 3D Secure enabled.
Please contact your bank and let them know you are trying to place an online order from Ireland. They can check if there is a security restriction on the card and help you complete your purchase.
3D Secure is an additional layer of security used by banks to help protect cardholders against unauthorised online transactions.
During the payment process, you may be asked to enter a one-time security code sent to your phone by your bank, or to approve the transaction using your banking app.
If this verification step is not completed successfully, your payment will be automatically declined.
To resolve this issue, we recommend contacting your bank or card issuer to ensure that 3D Secure and international transactions are enabled on your card.
3D Secure may also be known by other names depending on your card provider or bank, including Verified by Visa, Mastercard Identity Check, J/Secure and Dankort Secured by Nets.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to add items to an existing order once it has been placed.
If you would like to purchase an additional item, please place a new order. If your original order has not yet shipped, we will do our best to combine both orders and refund one shipping fee where possible.
Please contact us as soon as possible with your new order number.
Yes, provided your order has not yet been shipped. Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to cancel your order.
Unfortunately, once an order has been collected by the courier, we are unable to cancel it.
No. For orders shipped outside the EU, any applicable taxes/customs duties are NOT included in your online total.
As customs charges vary from country to country, unfortunately we are unable to estimate the amount you may be required to pay. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and, if applicable, will be collected by the courier at the time of delivery.
The courier (for example, FedEx) will collect any applicable taxes, duties or handling fees upon delivery. As AranCrafts.com does not charge or collect these fees during checkout, they will not appear in your online total. The recipient will be responsible for paying any applicable customs charges on delivery.
For more information about duties and taxes in your country, please contact your local customs office.
Please note: Orders shipped to the United States are an exception. Please see the FAQ below for more information.
Yes. Due to changes in U.S. import regulations, all orders shipped to addresses within the United States are now subject to import duties and taxes. These charges are calculated and added at checkout and will appear as a separate line item in your online total.
There will be no additional duties or taxes to pay upon delivery.
From 29 August 2025, U.S. customs regulations require import duties and taxes to be charged on all goods shipped from Ireland and other European countries to the United States.
Delivery costs and full shipping information, including estimated delivery times and charges, are available on our Delivery page.
To keep your knitwear looking its best, store it folded neatly in a drawer or storage box, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Avoid hanging wool sweaters on hangers, as this can stretch the fibres and cause the garment to lose its shape over time.
The golden rule is to wash your knitwear as infrequently as possible and air it regularly. Simply “Wind-washing” (airing the garment outdoors) can help keep it fresh between washes.
When washing is required, always hand wash only, using a wool detergent in cool/cold water.
Care instructions:
Never machine wash, spin, or tumble dry your knitwear, as this can damage the fibres and alter the shape of the garment.
As our sweaters are made from natural wool, they may occasionally have a stronger natural wool scent. This is completely normal and will reduce over time.
The best way to freshen your garment is to air it outdoors, simply hang the sweater on a clothesline in fresh air and this will help naturally remove any odours.
If washing is required, please follow our hand-washing care guide.
We hope you are happy with your purchase, but if you are not completely satisfied, you can return your item in line with our Returns Policy.
