EU Shipping FAQ

UPDATE: DEC 2023

FROM 9AM GMT WEDS 20TH DEC WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR PRINT COPIES TO UK AND US ADDRESSES AS PART OF OUR WIND DOWN. ORDERS PLACED BEFORE THIS DATE (INCLUDING PRE-ORDER 48) ARE BEING PACKED AND SHIPPED IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE RECEIVED.

DIGITAL ONLY PRODUCTS REMAIN AVAILABLE TO ALL LOCATIONS FOR THE FORESEEABLE.

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2021

On July 1st 2021, the tax/VAT rules between the UK and the EU changed. Instead of paying customs duties and charges on receipt of your Pom Pom order, you will be charged VAT at checkout on orders up to €150 and we will then manage this VAT for you. This means that you should not be charged any extra fees to receive your items. 

Orders over €150 will be charged VAT and admin charges on receipt at the border.

These rules apply to all orders for customers in the EU, and we do not offer the option to opt-out of VAT charges at checkout at this time.

We have had reports from readers in the EU that some copies are being charged customs fees. Our shipping partner has let us know that many companies are experiencing the same issue and, although we are correctly registered for tax, this is sometimes not being acknowledged by the customs authorities. 

If you receive notification of a fee, please dispute the charges with your customs authority and please email us at contact@pompommag.com to let us know so that we can investigate.

I have a question about the VAT at checkout 

Please email us at contact@pompommag.com with any questions and we'll be happy to help!

Which products will have VAT applied to them?

For EU customers, you will be charged VAT on books, magazines, subscriptions and merchandise items. You will also be charged VAT on digital products.
