UK / Ireland
As of January the 1st 2021, there are now changes to the Tax
system in the UK with regards to low value imports less than
£135 pounds ($260 AUD). This means that we can only export goods
to the UK that are above this value to be able to pass through
the Royal Mail system. If you intend to buy goods above this
value, then you will have to check the Royal Mail website for
any Taxes that you will have to pay when buying goods from us.
As of July 2021 the full value of the goods will be stated on
the paper work shipped with the goods. For UK business you only
have to provide your EORI number so that Taxes etc are then not
payable on entry to the UK.
EU Countries
On 1 July 2021, the EU will be removing the low-value VAT threshold for eCommerce items. This means all EU-bound eCommerce items will be subject to VAT from 1 July 2021. All items from €0-150 will have VAT, formal clearance and customs clearance fees applied. There is no change for items above the €150 threshold – international customers must still pay VAT and customs duties upon import to the EU. This means that you will have to check the postal website in your country for the Taxes that you have to pay when buying goods from us. As of July 2021 the full value of the goods will be stated on the paper work shipped with the goods.

We are unable to make any changes or cancel an order once it has been processed through Australia Post for shipping. If you make a mistake or need to add to your order, please email immediately to ask if it can be changed. In most cases orders are processed quickly and cannot be easily changed, and costs us extra time to re package and process orders. If you are wanting to add products to an order, then please email first as we can then send a Paypal payment request for the extra amount to be paid. Please do not create new orders as it costs us more time to do refunds and accounting for postal costs.
