We have temporarily suspended sales to the EU (Northern Ireland and Norway included) while I go through the process of adhering to the upcoming GPSR deadline. These regulations affect all businesses sending products into the EU and it requires an amount of paperwork and expense.  Deciding to suspend orders a few weeks before the deadline ensures any parcels sent should arrive before the deadline and any issues / missing parcels can be resent.  These new regulations have effected thousands of small businesses all over the world and I wish to ensure I not only find a suitable solution but one...

Unfortunately this isn't a good news post... Due to the impending EU deadline for GPSR and Waste management, I have decided to halt all sales to the EU effective Sunday 24th November. Although GPSR enrolment becomes mandatory as of 13th December I need to give myself some breathing space. I hope to find a resolve to be able to continue selling and shipping within the EU but from my investigations this will cost a minimum of £3000 per year just to remain compliant with only a handful of countries.

So hang tight on those EU orders if you want to save some on postage, otherwise carry on as you were Thank you all for your understanding while I...

Some of you may have noticed a slight postage issue in the store. When combining plinths with smaller items postage jumps up. This is due to the different parcel sizes I use between plinths and conversion parts, which obviously cost different amounts to ship.
