Overseas orders: import taxes and charges
Orders delivered outside the UK, including to the EU and USA, may be subject to import VAT, customs duties or tariffs, and courier clearance fees. These are not included in our prices or standard postage unless we explicitly confirm otherwise.
The recipient is responsible for these charges, which vary by destination, goods and current rules. The courier or customs authority will usually collect them before delivery. EU import VAT can also be calculated on shipping costs and customs duty.
If the shipping service requires us to collect import charges in advance, we will confirm the amount and agree payment with you before dispatch. We will not take an additional card payment without your agreement.
We do not charge UK VAT. Any destination-country import VAT is a separate charge.
Contact us before ordering if you would like help checking the delivery arrangements.

Replacements are free of charge if:
1. We have supplied the wrong colour
2. We have supplied the wrong size.
3. We have not adhered to your tooling instructions.
Refunds or replacements are not allowed if:
1. You ordered the wrong colour.
2. You ordered the wrong size.
3. You don't like your tooling choice (or ours, if the choice was left to us).
Important Notice
Hides and skivers are natural products and consequently are not always perfect. All buyers should be aware that all our products may be subject to slight scars and imperfections, particularly with larger sized tops. We obviously do our best to supply a perfect product. Most view these small variances as character, but we have known some who expect the perfection of a man-made fabric. Our products are not man-made, and small imperfections, particularly on larger projects, must be accepted.
