It’s January 2021, which means that things have finally, finally ended on the Brexit front (until the next thing…). So we’ve been through the website and we think it now works correctly for EU customers – you’re no longer charged VAT (which is the main thing). So, having previously advised EU customers not to place orders until we’d checked it all works, we think you’re now safe to go again.
This means that orders placed to EU addresses will no longer be charged VAT on goods or shipping by us – so all our models (and the shipping) will be 1/6th cheaper. And following the last-minute EU-UK trade deal, you should not have to pay import tariffs or duties either. However, you may have to pay import VAT at your local rate (as you would for an order from any other non-EU country, say the USA). In the UK this sometimes seems to be a bit random – some parcels get caught, others don’t and it can depend on the value of the order. We suggest you contact your local postal or customs office as we can’t give definitive advice for other countries.

If I order from you now, the Swedish post office will add the 25% VAT and then a £6 – £7 handling charge. Brexit is going to make ordering from the UK a problem! Not your fault of course.

Not that it helps, but Brigade will be able to remove the VAT, which will make their products cheaper before they hit you.
Companies that are not charging VAT will still mean you incur the same charges your end with the ‘bonus’ of being cheaper not happening as they have no VAT to remove.

Just tried to make order, there is no VAT reduction on shipping.

Did you select your shipping location for the cart?
Also, I am not sure if a service has to have VAT added, maybe they don’t charge VAT on the service, just the physical goods?
