Shipping Policy

Below you will find information relating to SHOP21 Delivery and Shipping

 

UK Customer Delivery

We always dispatch customer orders as quickly as is possible. Most orders are dispatched by Royal Mail recorded post on the day of the order, or if the postman has already collected the day's orders then it will dispatch the next working day. So all postal orders are normally received by our customers within 48 hours of their order being placed, although frequently they do receive it the day after they have placed the order. Customers who need their products sooner OR who have ordered a product that is too heavy or valuable for the post and select courier as the delivery option can expect their orders the following day so long as they place the order before 1:00 pm. The post is currently charged at £4.99 and next day Courier is charged at £15.00

Please note that postal orders only cover up to a value of £50 so if you order a higher value item you may want to seriously considering Courier option to ensure its full value is covered.


European Union (EU) Delivery & Purchasing

European customer's orders are also dispatched immediately/on the same day they have ordered unless the postman has already collected in which case they are prioritised for dispatch the following day. EU orders are sent by Royal Mail International Signed for service and include tracking. Our EU customers receive their orders within 3 to 7 working days, averaging 4 to 5 working days for postal orders and 2 to 5 working days for courier orders. The post is currently charged at £14.95 and Courier is charged at £39.95

Please note that postal orders only cover up to a value of £50 so if you order a higher value item you may want to seriously consider the Courier shipping option to ensure its full value is covered.

European orders are charged ex VAT (sales tax) which means you may well be charged sales/import tax at the point of delivery or via your local customs office.

Tax-Free (EU)

If you are a European Union based business with a valid VAT registration number then you can purchase from us at the ECG intra-community delivery VAT rate of zero percent (0%). To qualify for this 0% rate customers must be:

1) Based in an EU country.

2) Be VAT registered in an EU country.

3) The delivery address must be to an EU country.

Until we set up an office in the EU all EU orders will be charged ex VAT which means you may well be charged VAT at the point of delivery or via your local customs office.
