FAQs

Do you do custom pins?

Currently. I do not. I’ve put info on the contact page too, so please don’t email asking for quotes on custom pins there! This may change in the fureu (but if it does, I’ll make a big song-and-dance about it!)

How many of each pin are made?

Generally, 100. Some of the best-sellers may have been brought back for several runs, though.

How long does shipping take?

I ship the pins every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. They are put in the next days’ first post. It usually takes 3-4 working days within Ireland, but during the Christmas period, it can take considerably longer. 

If you have your tracking number, you should be able to track your post through the An Post tracking portal. For the foolas among you, it won't be trackable instantly - I'll have to bring it to the post office first, like. 

International shipping times will vary depending on your local carrier. Generally they take about 1-2 weeks within the EU/Britain and about 2-3 weeks for the Americas/Australia etc. The Christmas period can drastically alter these timeframes.

Will the pins damage my jacket / bag etc.?

The pins are attached by poking a metal pin through fabric and it’s attached via a rubber/metal clasp. This will create small holes. These are generally unnoticeable on rugged items like bags or winter jackets, however they may be apparent on finer, more taut fabrics.

If something is out of stock, will it come back?

If something is listed as out of stock online and is still visible in the store, yes, it will be returning. If you’ve seen something in the store before and it’s not visible now, the chances are it’s gone for good. If you’ve any questions about older stock, you can always get in touch with me for a personal update. 

When did Deadly.ie start

I started selling pins on Deadly back in 2020. Prior to that, I used the domain as a way to show off my photography portfolio.

How many people work at Deadly?

Just me! 

Sometimes my wife Siobhan, or my nieces Ella or Faye will help out putting pins on the backing cards during busy times, but everything else is by yours truly. (I’m so great. You should buy my pins.)

Do all the pins have two pin backs?

Most of them, not all. The single pin-backed pins will mention the fact in the product description, but generally they're the smaller pins.

What was the first pin you released?

The lady on the rock pin, back in 2020. It was an instant sell out. 

Do you do collabs?

I'm open to collaborations, however I've only done two so far. They went very well, but I don't have a lot of time for more demanding requests.
