Shipping methods customs and indication of approx cost July 2026

I exclusively use Royal Mail and their international carrier partners. Sometimes I have to break large orders into 2 shipments – this is still far cheaper than using a courier.

When you contact me to order I will calculate the shipping fees and tariff/customs fee you will need to pay to me for PDDP. (all duty paid by me up front with shipping cost)

If non PDDP (Canada/Oz/NZ/Japan), then I will calculate shipping cost – but the customs fees are for you to pay direct when your National Postal service asks for it.

I use a tracked PDDP service whenever possible so that I can pay the customs charges up front. This is the fastest and most reliable way of shipping internationally.

EU	PDDP or tracked	£10 to £16	VAT 19% to 25%	£3 to £30 (!!)

EU: France, Germany, and NL offer PDDP services with reasonable admin fees. Because of the recent EU change customs change form 1st July I will now only ship to EU countries with PDDP options. France Germany NL and Denmark have PDDP – more EU countries coming good. I will check when you ask.
