Buy Direct From Anywhere Across The Globe Direct From Accurascale.com!

Over the past couple of years we have had to prepare to facilitate our customers from overseas as best as we can with Brexit being implemented. This has lead to us trying several remedies, including have separate European hubs and websites, but this has caused significant delay in moving stock between the two. 

So, we're going back to basics.This means you can now order from accurascale.com  anywhere in the world! No more separate websites, different logins and entering details time and again, accurascale.com is now your one stop shop.

Can I order without VAT from outside the UK?

All of our website prices are listed dynamically inclusive of VAT (Sales Tax) inside the UK.

If you are purchasing from outside the United Kingdom, VAT is not payable and should be automatically deducted by geo-locating your IP address.
When browsing the website, you will see the suffix 'inc. VAT' on all prices if you are inside the UK and VAT is payable.

If you do not see this suffix, then you are seeing the 'ex. VAT' price by default.
Once you get to the Checkout, simply enter your non UK Shipping / Billing Address, and the website will dynamically remove all VAT from your order if it has failed to do so automatically, reducing the cost appropriately!

We also ship to the European Union, Delivered at Place (DAP) which means you will pay Import VAT / Tax (but no Duty) when the goods arrive in your country

How about your ONE customer in the Canary Islands?

Part of Spain but not part of the EU for customs and taxes.

Postage also difficult due to the geography, usually more expensive.

Have you considered implementing VAT DDP , it’s makes things very easy 

[murphaph]

Interesting developments. Nice options for people to lock in at their local currency. Is it desired for Eurozone mainland EU customers of IRM products to order this way or to continue to order through https://irishrailwaymodels.com/ or is it all the same to you guys?

Probably defeats the purpose of the streamlining. Too many different VAT and customs regimes around the world. Easier to sell it as is and let the recipient pay tax on arrival.

Plus, you have the incompetent boobs at An Post who are going to ignore the DDP paperwork as they frequently do, then Accurascale have to deal with even more work because of the subsequent claims.

We’re working on it. As well as multiple choice on the carrier used. For now we’ve set all purchases over £100 to the EU postage free to compensate for any admin charge on the vat collection

We won’t be offering IRM product on accurascale for new items going further.

Ultimately it was taking so long to pack up EU orders, load pallets, export to Dublin from the UK, irish customs seems to ‘dislike’ uk exports in that direction and we ended up shipping EU orders weeks and weeks after the UK customers got theirs.

Sounds painful.

Wouldn't happen if your distribution centre was somewhere neutral. And sunny.
