As we are based in Northern Ireland, our store is still regarded as part of the EU Single Market. Northern Ireland has the same EU VAT rules on goods as other Member States. Consequently, EU buyers have no new duties to pay when dealing with us. Postage rates include packaging costs. Regardless of any ongoing industrial disputes involving carriers within UK, we are still able to post internationally without using GSP so buyers can have complete confidence.
