New 2025 U.S. TARIFFS:
Dear U.S. Customers,
• From 29th August 2025, new U.S.A. government tariffs on items arriving in your country from the EU came into effect - unfortunately the buyer is responsible for paying these tariffs/duties/handling fees to final delivery company/customs authority when their items are delivered or before they can be released from customs. It's also possible the delivery of items may be delayed once arriving in the USA while being processed in customs/or until tariffs/duties/handling fees are paid.
• Sadly, if a U.S. order is returned to us for non-payment of any tariffs and/or import duties/handling fees, then only the item cost will be refunded. All shipping costs and possible return duties will be deducted from the total to be reimbursed.
• Also, if a U.S. order happens to be destroyed/not returned to us by customs for failure of delivery, we are sadly unable to refund.
Thank you for reading, and we sincerely regret the shipping chaos caused to you, our valued U.S. customers, by the introduction of these new tariffs.
Sincerely, Poe and Alexander
