UK-Shipping

If you'd like to place an order with a value up to £ 135 – excluding VAT and postage – the process is straightforward, just as before Brexit. You won’t need to pay any import duty upon delivery or anything of that sort. For orders over £ 135 - due to HMRC’s ruling – things work differently.

Orders up to £ 135 ~ € 161

As an overseas seller from the EU, we adhere to HM Revenue and Customs rules. We are VAT-registered and duly remit VAT returns to HMRC for orders up to £ 135. This value pertains to the net worth of the consignment, exclusive of VAT and postage.

This means that items on our website priced up to €190 can be ordered free of import duty.
Note: €190 – with 21% VAT,  is €157 - without VAT. This amount is less than £135 and therefore duty-free.

For the products we offer, we are required to charge 20% VAT. However, the prices listed on our website include 21% VAT, as applicable in our home market, the Netherlands. When you enter your address details at checkout, you’ll notice the total amount you need to pay decreases slightly due to the 1% difference in VAT.
We collect and remit this VAT to HMRC.

RoyalMail will handle delivery in the UK. Postage fees are € 5.95 (about five quid) with an estimated transit time of 4-6 working days.

Your email address and phone number will be provided to the courier service so they can send you a dispatch confirmation and keep you informed while your parcel is in transit.

Important: Kindly ensure to input your mobile telephone number at checkout, as it's pivotal for preparing the import declaration.

For Orders over £135 (~ €161)

For orders surpassing £135 (excluding VAT & postage), HMRC mandates payment of UK VAT, invoiced by the courier service provider prior to delivery. And since the UK has left the EU, Customs Duty is now payable on orders valued over £135 (excluding VAT & postage) as well. We recommend taking into account that a 12% Third Country Import Duty generally applies to the total invoice amount.

Unfortunately, our webshop doesn't currently distinguish between order values at checkout. Therefore, we apply a 20% VAT and subsequently refund the VAT amount within one working day.

Similar to smaller orders, a dispatch confirmation email with tracking details will be sent upon the parcel's handover to our chosen courier, DPD. Upon UK Customs clearance, DPD will email an invoice for the 20% UK VAT and Import Duty.

Delivery in your region will only proceed after the courier's invoice has been paid, and swift action is recommended for seamless processing. Transit time remains at 4-5 working days post-dispatch.

Important: Please ensure to provide your mobile telephone number during checkout to enable the import declaration.

Right to Withdraw – Returns and Exchanges

Once dispatched, a shipment can't be intercepted. Therefore, we are unable to entertain withdrawal requests once the shipment is in transit.

We accept withdrawals (returns or exchanges) within 14 days from the day after delivery. We recommend using a track-and-trace service for proof of posting. Upon receiving your return within the stipulated window, we'll process it promptly. Delayed shipments will not affect the process.

If you return an order, and have paid VAT to HMRC for an order over £135, you can request a refund directly from them. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-apply-for-a-repayment-of-import-duty-and-vat-if-youve-overpaid-c285
