Dear Customers,

As a small, family-owned business specializing in niche products, we truly value your support. However, since Brexit, small independent shops like ours face immense bureaucratic hurdles. Registering for and managing the ongoing UK VAT system requires an administrative workload that our small team simply cannot handle.

To ensure we can keep shipping our unique products to you, we must follow official customs regulations. Please note the following terms for all UK orders:

• Minimum Order Value: €160.00 (item value, excluding shipping costs).
• Duties and Taxes: We do not collect UK VAT, import duties, or customs fees at checkout.
• Payment on Delivery: All local taxes, customs duties, and courier handling fees must be paid by you (the buyer) directly to the UK customs authorities or the delivery service (e.g., Royal Mail or DHL) prior to or upon delivery.

We deeply regret these extra steps and kindly ask for your understanding. As a small family business, this is the only sustainable way for us to continue serving our wonderful UK community.

Thank you so much for your loyalty and for supporting our independent business!

 

Kind regards,
The Team at The Vintage Collector
