Delivery and Returns
We’re temporarily halting all EU orders
Like many companies, we are currently experiencing issues with shipping orders to EU destinations due to Brexit, as some individual countries have brought in their own regulations regarding the shipment of cosmetic products.
Although there are no overall restrictions for the number of beauty products that can be sent in one parcel to an EU country, we’re receiving reports that some orders have been stopped in customs because they contain over a certain number of products. These rules have been brought in by the individual country the order is being shipped to.
This has caused a lot of confusion for delivery companies and subsequently lots of delays, and it is for this reason that we have decided to temporarily suspend any EU orders until the situation is rectified, including orders to the Republic of Ireland. This will apply whether an EU order is placed through our website or via an Ambassador.
We are working with DHL to resolve the issues with orders that have already been placed and hopefully the situation will settle down once everyone gets used to the new post-Brexit delivery updates. To avoid delays and any confusion for our EU customers, we feel it’s better not to accept any EU orders until the situation has settled.
Once we’re confident we won’t have any customs issues with EU orders, we will of course start taking EU orders again as normal.
This information excludes Northern Ireland, Channel Island and Isle of Man deliveries, and we will still be accepting these orders as normal. We will also still be processing any international orders outside of the EU, as these haven’t been affected by Brexit.
We feel this is the best decision to make until the situation settles, and thank you for your patience and support!
If you are a customer outside of the UK and The EU
The rules around the importation of UK products into non-EU countries have not changed with Brexit (1st January 2021).
Any customer purchasing our products from the UK to be shipped into their own country outside of the UK and the EU, may be required to pay additional Import Taxes and duty. The amount of Import Taxes and/or duty that needs to be paid will be dependent on the minimum order value rules within the country you live in.
These rules are the same as they were before Brexit, and haven’t changed. So in this instance, you will be charged these fees as normal. If you’re a customer living outside the EU, please check your country’s import taxes and custom duty rules before placing an order with us.
We hope this helps you further understand the charges you may receive depending on where you’re ordering from, and – as always – please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us if you have any questions!
