    Which means extra charges in the form of Irish VAT on top of UK VAT, plus charges. UK sites not removing VAT or .ie shipping from UK

    I'll start:

    Cross.com - AT Cross - Removing UK VAT. DHL Charging Irish VAT + €5 clearance
    Screwfix.ie Removing UK VAT
    Microsoft

    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.

    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.
