____________________
International EU / Global Customers: Please note that there are postal delays in many countries due to ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe, as such we cannot guarantee when you will receive your order. We recommend you check the Royal Mail website for international updates/incidents for your country. Your package may be passed on to an internal postal service, according to standard delivery procedures. We are also seeing many delays at customs.
Customs and Duty Payments: Products delivered to some destinations may be subject to taxes, fees, levies or other charges, which are imposed by local legislation - we have no control over these. Any customs, import duties and/or taxes are charged once the order reaches its destination country and must be paid by the recipient of the order. Customs policies vary widely from country to country and as we have no control over these charges, we take no responsibility for them and cannot estimate what they may be.
