Here’s a tricky one. I preordered a pair of quite expensive Japanese made shoes from a uk webshop. The plan is for them to be sent to me in the EU in a few months. The webshop reckons there will be no change in the cost to me. I don’t agree but also feel a bit bad about cancelling the order, what does everyone think?

If you allrdy paid for them before brexit? Then u paid for them incl uk vat. If u can get them to reimburse you for that vat once they ship it will likely not be a big difference. If you however cant get them to do that im willing to bet you will be forced to pay vat+duty in whatever eu country you are receiving them in. So that would basicly be like paying double vat.

I dont think a lot of smaller shops will have a plan for how to proceed on orders like these so i think it will be up to you to make sure the do it correctly till they are used to the process.

I could be wrong but they got little to gain to be on top of things so why not wait right? Its not them paying double vat. (think shops will adapt once they know how to and realize they have to as eu customers will now think their products are 25% more expensive than they used to be).

You can refund the VAT paid to the UK once you have your "bill of lading". We always sell Inc VAT if the customer is sorting their own export, we'll just deliver to the dock.
