Delivery to EU Destinations
Regretfully we have had to stop deliveries into European Union Destinations because of complications with VAT and additional charges being made to our customers in the EU.
Following Brexit each EU member state and UK have agreed customer must pay VAT at the point of sale.
Unfortunately, couriers are also charging VAT at point of entry which means we our company pay VAT on your behalf then you are asked to pay VAT again when you receive the goods.
These are temporary arrangements which will change in July 2021. We will resume shipments at that time.
