Shipping to countries other than the United Kingdom.
We of course sell worldwide.
HOWEVER shipping to any country (other than the UK), you

by the carrier) when your order arrives - it is your responsibility to
check what these might be - thus avoiding any surprise additional costs.
These charges are usually found on your government's website.
OUR PRICES
Prices in US$, are ONLY for orders sent to a country outside of Europe and the European Union
(EU).
Prices in EUR €, are
ONLY for shipping to Europe and the European Union (EU) countries.
When is a bargain price not a bargain?
The total cost may not be everything it seems. If you are in the United
Kingdom and buy something from outside the UK (like the European Union, North America or the Far East), you
will have to pay higher shipping cost and you may have to pay import
duties/taxes and any administration charges charged by the carrier,
adding considerably to the price total costs.
When your order arrives in the UK, it will be treated as an import. You may have to pay import duty (rates vary from item to item), BUT you will have to pay VAT on top of the
total price you have paid, this may add further 15% - 30% to what you have paid.
The carrier (shipping company, courier or postal service) will pay both import duties and VAT
on your behalf, BUT they will require the payment from you before they deliver. You can refuse delivery, but you will lose your payment (or at least shipping costs both ways) and
may end up with legal action from the carrier who will want to reclaim
any duties, VAT and any costs they may have had. So the bottom line is check what the additional costs are (shipping, import duty and VAT), these could add as much as 50% to the
final buying price. If the price looks too good to be true, it probably is!
