Purchase from UK based Company - Unexpected Customs Charge
Options

Hi. I am new to the forum, so I hope I am doing this right, as I would really appreciate some advice. I ordered something from a UK based website, and I have just received notification from the courier that there is a customs fee to pay. I have double checked on the website and it says they are based in London. Nothing on the terms and conditions or any other page says anything about items being sent from abroad. I just wondered where I stand on this? Many thanks!

Definitely a legitimate UK company judging by the About Us page.

They say in their FAQ some items are not made in the UK
Why don’t you offer next-day or two-day shipping?
To keep our costs low and to expedite orders, we utilize more than one print shop in and outside of the UK. We distribute your print orders to our different locations depending on the workload, so your banners and signs could be printed in a location that cannot offer next-day or two-day shipping to the UK. We do offer expedited shipping options (4 days or less from proof approval to delivery). Please contact us if you need it sooner.0 -
