Ordering from Europe

We do not have to charge UK VAT (Sales Tax). VAT is instead collected by the courier on behalf of your country of residence. They will contact you before delivery to collect this. Please ensure your contact details are correct. If you are ordering on behalf of an EU business with a valid EORI and EU VAT number then you may not have to pay VAT to the courier. The checkout process will collect these details. Please ensure these numbers are correct as we will validate them before shipping and will have to contact you if they are not correct, which may delay your order. As far as we know, none of our products incur any Duty to any countries that we ship to.

How we calculate Prices and Shipping

If you are in the UK, we total the price, add shipping costs (£8 or £12 for 8+Kg packages, with slight increments for packages above 15Kg), then add VAT to that (20%).

If you are in the EU, we total the price, add shipping costs (these vary according to which country you live in, and the total weight of the items), We do not charge UK sales tax (VAT). If you are an EU registered business, we do not have to charge you sales tax, if you provide your EU VAT number before we take your order (see instructions above).

Individual purchasers from the EU no longer have to pay UK VAT from January 2021, but will be liable for EU VAT in their own countries. This will be collected by our couriers before delivery. Non-payment will result in your parcel being returned to us.

If you are located outside the EU, we total the price, and add shipping costs (according to country and total weight).

Note: you are liable for any customs charges payable.

When will I receive my order?

Unless there is a problem with your order (or it is a system build), and you order by 7PM GMT - and it is not a public holiday - we will fill and despatch same day, for typically next day delivery in the UK or longer for International Orders (this includes Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scottish Highlands). Please check your mail a few hours after ordering just in case there is a problem. Next day delivery in the UK occurs 98% of the time - but delivery times are not guaranteed, and we do not automatically split orders if any items are not available. If you are not available to receive your order, after several attempts it will eventually be returned to back to us, and this will incur additional shipping charges. In some countries non-deliverable items will eventually be returned to the sender. We will either refund or resend orders at our discretion in this instance, and additional shipping costs are likely to be payable. Please do not specify a PO Box or forwarding service as your address, as our couriers do not ship to them.

When you receive your order...

Please check everything in your order is correct and working within 48 hours of receiving your order.
