will probably arrive, sooner or later, and probably weith added import tax
I ordered a custom varsity jacket 1 April 2025, wanting to use it for an event the 24th. With their homepage saying, that they can deliver within 5-8 working days. I didn't think this would pose a problem.
I wrote them the 15th as I had not yet received a dispatch email with tracking details. Thus I suspected that it had not yet been sent, nor even produced.
A kind employee wrote me shortly after, saying that it was very nearly complete, and should be ready to be sent out later that day, or the day after (16th). It was also stated that they were going to send it with a fast method so it it should arrive before the 24th. (I assumed that meant Premium delivery)
The following are dates from UPS.
17/04/2025 16:26 Label Created. UPS has not received the package yet.
22/04/2025 Collection Scan, Bristol, United Kingdom.
From there it goes to a in facility Stanford Le Hope, United Kingdom from 22nd to 24th.
Then a facility at Herne-Boernig, Germany from 24th to 25th.
Then Facility in Vejle, Denmark from 25th to 28th. where they add Import charges: 211DKK (24£)
something they could have billed me for, or at least informed me about, when I bought it.
I'm thinking they would know, that the rest of EU has import charges from things coming from outside EU. Which includes UK, now that they have left the EU back in 2020. But nope that was a "happy" surprise in my already very delayed purchase.
I received it today, the 28th of April four days after I needed it. Luckily there is a similar event next year. for which I now have the jacked ready for then.
The quality of the jacket seems fine.
The mailing estimates are way off. If you order from them, do it a couple of months in advance.
