Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer Tax Free shopping for Non-EU Customers?

If you are outside the EU, we will refund the 20% UK sales tax from the cost of your order before sending (see notes on tax deduction below).

However, your local customs may add import duty/local sales tax to your order when delivering. Most countries outside the EU will allow small packages (eg. less than £30) to be delivered without additional charges, but some countries will tax your order (usually at a rate equivalent to your local sales tax) when you receive your parcel.

If you are concerned about this, then you should contact your customs office for more information, as you will be liable for any such charges.

Notes on tax deduction for non-EU customers:

1. The tax deduction will be made before your order if fulfilled and shipped and there is no need to apply for any rebate after the order is placed. At this point you will receive an automatic refund on the Uk sales tax via Paypal.

2. Discount applies only to goods purchased (records, clothing, merchandise etc.)

3. Tax-free orders must be delivered to an address outside the EU. Orders from non-EU residents to be delivered within the EU do not qualify.

How do I know if an item is in stock?

All products listed are in stock unless stated and our web site is updated in real time to ensure that stock levels are as accurate as possible.
