EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS & BREXIT -

Please note regulations are changing and our financial team are reviewing the best methods for our EU customers. Whilst our Team look into the most effective way to adapt we have the following offers available to EU Fans to subsidise any costs they 'may' be charged at customs. As follows

• For orders under £150.00 We are charging a low cost fee at checkout for tracked shipping with Royal Mail to Europe and we will pay towards the shipping cost on your behalf. There is the option to ignore this and continue to pay DHL Express should you prefer.

**Although we offer Free Shipping to you, it is not free to us, we are paying this on your behalf to help towards covering the cost of any Tax/Duty 'should' you encounter any charges. 

** We sell premium manufactured products without the premium prices. For example a pair of our leggings may cost £59.99 and for the same quality £120 with another brand, we therefore feel our competitive prices make up for any Duty or Taxes you may be charged at customs. We will always strive to remain competitively priced in ratio of quality for you the customer to benefit.

INTERNATIONAL REST OF THR WORLD ORDERS (NOT EU)
(**We strongly recommend if you are wanting to be guaranteed your overseas order quickly not to use Royal Mail as due to Covid although a lower cost they are a little slower than private couriers).

Options are:
Royal Mail International (Cheaper but Slower Service)
DHL Express (Super Fast Service)
DPD Express (only an option for Europe)

INTERNATIONAL DUTY & TAX NOTICE
RRP Prices shown are exclusive of VAT/Tax/Duty. Your Country will work out your taxes owed to release the shipment which the receiver/buyer is responsible to pay. USA only charge duty when the order is over £800 but tax is still owed. Each Country has their own Duty & Tax payable calculations; something we have no control over. If parcels are not paid and returned to us your order will be refunded minus shipping as shipping has already been paid to the courier. Some customs may destroy parcels if refused. We are unable to refund any orders that do not get returned to us.

NOTE: Remote areas are charged at a higher rate overseas. Checkout will calculate based on what you order, if the checkout charges less than the courier charge and it is substantially more then we will invoice for the additional cost. This is rare and only happens in certain remote locations across the world. Customers can cancel their orders at any time for a full refund prior to despatching should this happen.
