Goods are despatched Monday – Friday only.

Sending goods outside the United Kingdom may result in additional local customs clearance charges and taxes. Failure to pay these charges and taxes on arrival will result in the goods being returned to us. In such instances we may refund your order and delivery fees but retain a re-processing fee to cover the return costs and customs processing fees.

Changes from 1^st January 2021 – Brexit

On 1^st January 2021 the UK left the EU. A consequence of this is that goods purchased from the UK for delivery in the EU are now subject to additional duties and taxes as well as increased shipping costs. As much as possible we have tried to minimise the impact of this on our European customers by offering 2 delivery options:

Delivery Only Service – we will deliver your order excluding any customs clearance fees, import charges and taxes. When the goods arrive in your country you will be contacted by the delivery company to pay these additional costs directly to them before final delivery as the importer of record.

Full Delivery Service – we will deliver your order and pay all customs clearance fees, import charges and taxes on your behalf in advance via the delivery company so you don’t have to pay more when your order arrives. You as the customer will remain the importer of record. If goods are to be shipped to a business address via the Full Delivery Service, a valid EU EORI number is required for the shipment.

Both delivery options are processed under the ‘Delivery at Place’ (DAP) Incoterm.

We would advise you to check the cost of both delivery options before making your selection as the customs clearance fees, import charges and taxes can amount to quite a significant cost. The Delivery Only Service, although much cheaper, may end up costing more than the Full Delivery Service when the goods arrive.

If you have any questions about the delivery services we offer please contact us here.
