ROUTINE DELIVERIES

Below is a list of the countries we currently deliver to regularly. All countries in Europe have FREE door-to-door delivery included, but, if your delivery area is not the US, or a member of the European Union (EU) then you have to pay an import tax (VAT) on the goods as they enter your country. All other countries listed below will need to pay both shipping and import costs.


Typically the import fee will be requested by the organization that is executing the 'last mile' delivery. For larger items, this will be likely be requested by DHL, but for small goods, it will be requested by your local post office. 


If the import tax (VAT) is not paid in due time then the goods will be returned to us in the United Kingdom. If this occurs, then we will contact you when the consignment arrives back at our workshops to re-arrange delivery. Please note that additional postage charges will be incurred if you allow this to happen.

OUR EXPEDITED SERVICE

expedite

/ˈɛkspɪdʌɪt/

verb

make (an action or process) happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly.

"as promised, they expedited the production and delivery of the requested items."

HOW it works...

If you need something quicker, for a specific date like a birthday or an anniversary, then our expedited service is designed for you.


This service may on occasion have a small cost associated with it. The cost is relative to the speed of delivery and complexity of the order.

You won't incur any additional charges once you have made us aware of your required date and we determine that we can produce your items without any noticeable disruption to our planned work schedule.

We also cap the maximum cost for the service at 25% of the item cost, excluding any shipping fee's.


For example; If you need a festival satchel to arrive at your home in 7-days time, and we determine that we can easily accomplish this without disrupting our planned workflow, then you won't incur any additional charge. 


On the other hand, if you request a 16.5" Briefcase Satchel with internal and external slip pockets, double front pockets, brass hardware in a custom colourway using 12 different leathers and you need it in just 3-days; then one of our makers would need to work out-of-hours to ensure the task is completed in time.

This type of service is unusual and would likely add an additional 25% to the cost of the bag itself.  


To use our expedited service, simply contact us. Please include the word "Urgent" in your message, as this will trigger a special alert that will get someone to deal with your enquiry ASAP.


If you have already placed your order and are now informing us that you require it quicker, or for a specific date, then please include your order reference. Order references usually start with two-letters and then 8 digits, (eg. WW12345678)


We'll inform you if your service is likely to incur any costs before applying the service to your order. Please reply to our correspondence as quickly as possible to avoid any potential delays. 

HOW TO USE OUR EXPEDITED SERVICE...

Simply contact us or send an email to: team@leathersatchel.com

Customs Charge Guarantee

Since the United Kingdom (UK) left the European Union in 2020 (a process commonly referred to as Brexit) on rare occasions your local post office or customs bureau may not be fully familiar with the process of importing our specific type of items into your country. 

An agreed system exists for importing British Made goods (of Proven UK origin) into the European Union. This system collates all the export-import information, where items were manufactured, consignment details, harmonized commodity codes, and all such details. Some local officers are still unfamiliar with the process and special agreements. Which may occasionally result in them applying customs duty and/or import taxes and VAT to your consignment.  

If you are presented with an invoice for a customs charge before your item arrives. Please do not be alarmed and simply follow the steps below:

  • If you have already paid any duty or customs charge, send us details of what you paid so we can refund you the costs.

Any direct costs you may incur for the import of our goods (excluding the few minutes of time required to make payment, etc.) will be paid on your behalf or refunded to the payment method you selected to pay for your consignment. That's all you have to do - it's really simple! 

Are you curiously wondering what happens next?

Firstly, there's nothing more for you to do. 


Next, we'll either pay the customs/tax bill on your behalf OR if you've already paid the bill then we will refund your costs. The payment will be returned to the payment method you have chosen to originally pay for your items.

After that, we then contact the customs office responsible for applying the charges. We inform them of the problem, and that the associated charges were prepaid using the IOSS (International One-Stop Shop) before the consignment was dispatched. 


They will ask us to prove a double payment. We then prove the required fees have been paid (by using the details supplied by you and our pre-paid IOSS payment) to demonstrate that these duties have been paid twice. 


Once an agreement is reached, (usually after a few confirmation emails) then a credit will assigned to our IOSS account at the end of month. 


This may seem like a lot of trouble for us, but it occurs very infrequently. Part of our company's values is to ensure that you (our client) has a frictionless experience possible when shopping with us.
