Do not order anything from littlewoodsireland.ie None of their deliveries are getting through customs.They say they are Irish VAT registered.

Just adding it to this thread for info - DPD are the courier that deliver gap.eu orders in Ireland (via Hermes in the UK, where the orders are dispatched from), and will charge a customs fee. I just paid a €14.08 fee (including a €5 DPD fee) for a pair of jeans from Gap that cost €41

Mod - moved. More to do with Gap than DPD.

Gap are now issuing refunds for those that may have already paid the customs charge on their orders since the 1st, so I'd infer this now means that they are accounting for the VAT correctly on orders now.

We’re sorry for any confusion caused when you were asked to pay customs fees for your recent Gap order. It was the result of new processes and challenges related to Brexit. Please be assured, we have updated our system to include all fees at the time of purchase, and this fee will not be incurred separately in the future.

If you paid the customs fee, we hope you are enjoying your purchase and will reimburse you for the customs fee. Please allow 1-2 weeks to process the reimbursement which will be refunded to the account which you used to purchase the product. If you decided not to pay the customs fee, your item has been returned and you will be fully refunded for the product purchase within 1-2 weeks.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion and hope you’ll enjoy 20% off + free shipping* on your next online order with the code **********, valid until 31 December 2021.
