Additional international charges
Each country has their own VAT, import tax and duty laws, which may incur additional fees when arriving in your country. Please note that you are responsible for any taxes or duties on your shipment and will need to pay them before you can receive your order, therefore check your country purchase limits before purchasing.
From 1st July 2021 there are new rules for exporting items to the EU from the UK. All goods are now liable to be charged local VAT rates. This additional VAT is not collected at checkout by Rock + Realm. You may be contacted by your local customs to pay the VAT plus an admin fee upon arrival at the border of your country. Orders valued €150+ may also be subject to additional customs/handling fees.
Missing and Returned Parcels
We’re here to help if a parcel goes missing on its way to you whilst in transit, however we only have access to the same tracking information as you do, so may not be able to help.
If your parcel is returned to us due to any of the following reasons, we will contact you to organise to ship your item again at an additional cost to you. Alternatively, we can refund for any undamaged goods.
Reasons for “Return to Sender”
- incorrect/incomplete address
- failure to pick up from your local post office within their timeframe
- refusal to pay fees due
Please note - If an order is returned to us, we will only be able to refund minus any costs incurred, plus an administration charge of £5 for all orders.
Postage costs will not be refunded and if you qualified for free postage this will be deducted from any refund.
