EU ORDER UPDATE 2021
Since 1st January 2021 there have been changes to the way the parcels are delivered to Ireland and countries in the European Union. To keep your experience with us as smooth as possible, here are a few key things you need to know.
VAT and Shipping
Our shipping rates are based on the weight of your order and include postage and packing. Weight calculations include the packaging as well as the products.
For a delivery address in the UK, we use Royal Mail tracked 48 delivery. Provided the goods are in stock, customers can expect delivery in 3 to 4 working days.
If the delivery address is outside the UK, we use the UK’s Royal Mail International Tracked service. If in stock, goods will be despatched within 2 to 3 working days. You will be able to track your parcel through to delivery point with Royal Mail Track and Trace.
We also offer DHL Express to International destinations for 1-2 day shipping to most destinations in Europe, USA and Canada. The rest of the world can take a little longer, usually 3-4 days. Please keep in mind to account for processing time for your order ( at least 24 hours Monday - Friday)
Please note that we only ship orders Monday - Friday. There is no postal pickup on the weekends. If you place your order after 12pm on a Friday, your order will not go out until the following Monday afternoon.
Customs and Duty
The prices of the products shown on our website INCLUDE the 20% VAT and will be adjusted depending on your location and your country's tax regulations at checkout.
Loop is now signed up for IOSS, collecting and remitting import VAT on your behalf. VAT on orders under €150 will be collected and paid by Loop Knitting (not by you upon delivery). Please note that these new rules do not apply to orders over €150 and that parcels from the UK may still attract customs and handling charges, based on the practices/policies of your own countries authorities.
Please note we cannot undervalue orders or mark them as a gift.
Orders shipping to Northern Ireland will not be subject to import duties and additional fees on arrival.
Returns to us from the EU
When returning orders, please mark your parcel as 'Returned Goods' on the outer packaging and any commercial invoicing to avoid any additional charges and delays getting back to us. See our Refund Policy for more detailed information.
Shipping to EFTA Countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland)
Deliveries to EFTA countries will remain the same with parcels sent with tracked Royal Mail 48 or DHL shipping and VAT excluded on orders. Orders will be subject to import duties and additional fees on arrival.
1.2 Product descriptions
All the information on the Loop online shop website is accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, we cannot guarantee that all product descriptions are current and error free. We will correct errors as soon as they are brought to our attention. Colour names and swatches are for your convenience only. Because of the difference in which computer screens display colours, the colour that you see may not match the actual colour of the yarn.
1.5 Our delivery service
For a delivery address in the UK, we use Royal Mail tracked 48 delivery. Provided the goods are in stock, customers can expect delivery in 3 to 4 working days.
If the delivery address is outside the UK, we use the UK’s Royal Mail International Tracked service. If in stock, goods will be despatched within 2 to 3 working days. You will be able to track your parcel through to delivery point with Royal Mail Track and Trace.
We reserve the right to withhold delivery to any particular place or location at our sole discretion.
The risk in delivery of the goods passes to you on the commencement of supply or transportation to you or, where you will not accept supply on the date of delivery, to temporary storage arranged by us or the postal / courier service making the delivery.
1.8 What happens if goods are out of stock?
In the event that we do not have enough stock to complete your order, we will email or phone you to advise. Please note that it can take between 10 and 28 days to re-stock from some of loop’s overseas suppliers.
