Important Information for Non-UK Customers

When shopping with us from overseas, it's important to understand that additional taxes and duties may apply once your purchase arrives in your country. As a UK-based retailer shipping internationally, we want to ensure our customers have full transparency about potential additional costs. While the price you see at checkout covers the item and our standard shipping fee, your local government may impose import duties, VAT, or sales tax upon arrival of your package. These charges vary significantly depending on your location, the value of your purchase, and local regulations.
