6.1 International Duties and Taxes

6.2 Special Order Products or Products made to your specification

VAT is applicable at the standard UK rate on all orders delivered to a UK postal address, this applies even if the invoice address is international.

The order confirmation email and subsequent invoice will itemise VAT for all product lines and delivery.

Where you have requested delivery to a Non-UK address, the products and the delivery service will be zero-rated i.e. not subject to UK VAT however there will be local duties and taxes payable prior to delivery. See further details below.

Products delivered to destinations outside the UK may be subject to taxes, fees, customs duty, levies or other charges as a result of local legislation or customs formalities. These charges are calculated by our shipping agent and the recipient of the products, which may not be the person placing the order, will typically receive a separate request for payment of these charges when the goods arrive in the country of destination. If you’re ordering products to be delivered to someone else, please ensure they’re aware that they’ll be responsible for these additional charges. Payment by you or the recipient (as applicable) must be received by the relevant customs authority before delivery of the Products will be made.

Unfortunately we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, so we are unable to offer any assistance on these processes. We advise that you check any customs formalities and the import charges applicable in any country before ordering products to be delivered there. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with information which we hold which relates to the product or order which you may need in order to arrange customs clearance.

You (or the recipient of the products if different) will be the importer for all international deliveries of the products. Therefore, before placing an order, it’s your responsibility to check that any products ordered comply with country, state and/or federal government import regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect receipt of your order.

You agree that we will act on your behalf as exporter of the products and will complete export declarations in our own name on your behalf.

If an order is placed and restrictions that we were not aware of at the time the order was made are applied by the customs authority of the destination country, then we will cancel the order and return payment to you.

We, or our shipping agents, may request information from you in relation to customs formalities. You must respond to any request for information within 5 days of the request, or the order will be cancelled.

If the recipient wishes to return the product(s), they must request a refund of the customs duties and tax directly with their local customs office and must present proof of return. As the process varies by country and is subject to regular legislative amendments we can not provide any further advice on this.

To minimise delivery charges we do not finalise the delivery charge at the time you place the order, a minimum rate based on the despatch of a 0.5kg package using the selected delivery option is preliminarily added to your shopping cart.

We reserve the right to amend the charge based on the actual weight and dimensions of the final order however if this leads to a difference of more than 10% of total order value you will be contacted for authorisation prior to despatch. Approximate Shipping Charges are displayed in the table below the Shopping Cart.

You confirm your consent to this charge when you submit your order.

We supply almost all products direct from our extensively stocked warehouse so, with the exception of special order and customised products where lead times will be specified within the product details, we endeavour to process orders on receipt. Occasionally, some items will not be ex-stock and will be marked 'to follow' on the invoice and despatched immediately new stock arrives. You will only be charged once for shipping.

Delivery lead times to international addresses will vary according to destination but we will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that all products will be delivered within 30 days from the conclusion of the contract with us. In the event that your order has been despatched by us (as confirmed in the despatch confirmation e-mail) but has not arrived within the estimated delivery time range, please contact our sales team on the contact details above.

If delays outside of our control occur, we will make every effort to keep you informed.

In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we may disclose your relevant personal information pertaining to your order, to other firms we or they work with (such as delivery service providers) in order to process, deliver your order to you, and to keep you informed of any updates regarding your order. To read more on how your personal data is going to be handled, read our full Privacy Policy.

We accept liability only for items which are proved faulty by reason of our negligence. Such liability is limited to the price paid for the item and does not include any consequential loss.

If any part of these Terms and Conditions shall be found by a Court to be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision shall be capable of being severed and separated from these Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions which shall all remain in force.
