  • More anecdata from a friend that works for a small luxury food company based in UK but sells globally:

    shipping that would normally cost like £15 is being quoted at around £100 so we've just turned off shipping to the EU on our website now!

    I asked what percentage of pre-Brexit sales came from EU: 5%, which is £20k.

  • I have a small online shop selling parts for people doing up old school BMX bikes, a niche market!. I stopped shipping to Europe on jan 4th and am still dealing with the backlog of lost and delayed items now.
    EU customers (Germany france Italy spain) made up about 15-20% of my sales. I’ve had many messages from my regular EU customers saying they will not shop from U.K. any more. Even though the stuff I sell isn’t available there, they would rather go without than buy from U.K. with fees on arrival!
