Import Duty & VAT To Europe

VAT will now be applied at your national rate for deliveries to the EU. Import duty on items produced outside the UK will be levied on orders over £135.  As the importer, you are responsible for all import duties, customs, local sales taxes and handling fees. Payment of these may be necessary to release your order from customs on arrival.  Unfortunately we are unable to advise on the amount that this may be.  Any deliveries refused due to non payment of fees, will be destroyed by the courier and therefore will not be eligible for refund. If the importer wishes to return the parcel back to Nasty Lifestyle any return fees applied by the courier and HMRC such as return shipping, government charges and handling fees, plus a £15 restocking fee will be deducted from your refund.

Undelivered Parcels

We have upgraded our Royal Mail services to tracked and signed in line with our international courier services. Sadly due to the increase in fraudulent claims we can no longer refund, replace or offer store credit when tracking shows that delivery was successful.

 

Ecologi

As an online brand with significant global reach we are responsible for shipping and receiving parcels worldwide, unavoidably creating a measurable carbon footprint.  Where possible, we rely on road delivery services but regrettably it is not currently commercially viable to pass on the significant uplift in shipping costs and delivery times to further reduce air travel. Our shipping methods and delivery partners do however remain under constant review. We now donate to Ecologi to help create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity and help reforestation efforts around the world. All by planting trees!
