Shipping & Returns
Brexit Update:
Unfortunately, due to Brexit our customers within the EU can expect some changes when orders arrive in their country.
All products on this store ship from the UK, which is now outside the European Union. This means our EU customers will face additional customs and VAT charges before orders are delivered to their door. These charges will be collected by their local postal service or courier.
The changes that came into effect on January 1st 2021 when the UK left the European Single Market seem to be up in the air, so it is possible that the details below will change in the coming months.
Customers in the EU can expect to see the following charges on shipments when they arrive in their country:
- Customs duties: Estimated to be around 8% - 14% depending on which country the goods are delivered to.
- Local value-added tax (VAT): These are based on the VAT for the country products are shipped to. Please find some examples below and info for other EU countries can be found online via their respective government VAT websites:
France: 20% VAT
Germany: 19% VAT
Spain: 21% VAT
Sweden: 25% VAT
Belgium: 21% VAT
Netherlands: 21% VAT
Finland: 24% VAT
Denmark: 25% VAT
Italy: 22% VAT
Ireland (currently reduced rate due to COVID-19): 21% VAT (normally 23%)
- Some couriers are also adding additional flat rate charges to shipments to administrate the above taxes to be paid to the local tax offices. These costs are still unclear but have ranged from €4-€14 based on our research depending on location and goods purchased.
Example of additional costs:
Product price paid: £50
Shipping: £10
Total price at checkout: £60
Potential additional charges due once product has shipped:
Customs duty: 12% (varies from country to country) – e.g. £6
Courier fee (varies, not always applicable): e.g. £5
Subtotal: e.g. £11
Duties + courier fee + product price + shipping: £71
Local VAT (e.g. Germany 19%): £13.49
Total additional charges: £24.49
This is an estimated example based on our research and consulting expert advice. There are several variables depending on the country. Additional charges for you could be more or less than the above example.
Due to the number of possible combinations of charges, we are unable to charge at checkout i.e. give customers the chance to pre-pay. All additional customs, VAT, and handling charges will be the customer’s responsibility to pay when goods arrive in their country.
We appreciate this is extremely frustrating and we’re very upset with the disruption Brexit is causing, but unfortunately this is out of our control.
Please rest assured we are working extremely hard behind the scenes to reduce the impact this has on our customers.
We are currently looking at registering for VAT in certain EU territories to minimise the impact where possible. This will take a few weeks to put in place.
We have been informed that there will be a EU Tax authority set up by July, allowing us to account for VAT directly on our customers’ behalf again.
We will keep you updated on how the situation progresses as we learn more.

Due to the global situation with COVID-19, unfortunately some shipping rates have increased and delivery times are longer than usual. Our warehouses are also working at a reduced capacity to ensure they adhere to government social distancing measures, so please accept our apology for any delays in shipping your goods. We are working hard around the clock to ensure we minimise as many disruptions as we possibly can.

BULK ORDERS & LARGE ITEMS:
Our warehouse has restrictions on the number of large and heavy items they can ship in one shipment. If you see no shipping options available at checkout or on the shipping calculator this is most likely the issue.

SHIPPING SERVICES:
We offer a wide range of services depending on your location, including both tracked and un-tracked options with couriers including Royal Mail, DHL, UPS and Deutsche Post.

NON-TRACKED SHIPPING:
Our non-tracked option is for customers wanting to save money on shipping. You will still receive an email as soon as your order is dispatched, but there will be no tracking.
We cannot re-ship any potentially lost goods sent using the non-tracked service until at least 4 weeks has passed since the order was dispatched from our warehouse. We may also need the customer to pay for the re-shipment under some circumstances after this time has passed. For example; if the item was returned to us as un-collected.
CUSTOMS & IMPORT CHARGES:
Orders outside of the UK may be subject to customs and import duties depending on which country you’re ordering from/to. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you — We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Contact your local customs office for further information. Customs forms for all international packages require the listing of the value of your order’s contents by product type. Orders will be listed by us using the aggregate purchase price in U.S. dollars (US Store) and GBP (ROW Store) of all of the items in a particular category.
