Your parcel will need a signature on arrival, so we cannot send it to an unmanned PO BOX.

European Countries/Switzerland IMPORTANT

Between the UK and the EU

Orders sent between the UK and EU may incur additional taxes and courier fees. If applicable to your order, we will calculate these for you and add them at checkout. Once you've paid for your order, there will be no need to pay additional fees on receipt.

Unfortunately, Licensed To Charm is not registered for Value Added Tax in Europe/Switzerland, and items shipped to Switzerland and European countries may be subject to excise duty and Value Added Tax. In some cases, when the mail service is used, the customer is considered an importer and is obliged to pay the relevant tariffs. These are levied by the Swiss Mail Service when the shipment is delivered. You will find further details on the websites of the Swiss Customs Authorities and European countries.

The value-added tax costs should be distinct from the carriage charges the sender pays when the consignment is posted.

The prices charged on our site are in UK GBP £ Sterling. If you use an international card or bank account to pay for your goods, the exact price you will pay depends on your bank's exchange rate at the time of ordering. Please speak to them for further information.

Suppose your order is returned to us because the courier or postal service could not complete the delivery for whatever reason. In that case, you will be responsible for the repeat delivery costs.

Between the UK and the Rest Of the World

Orders from the UK to the rest of the world may incur local duties and taxes. Currently, we DO NOT handle these charges for you. Therefore, you must pay locally for these upon receiving your order.

Please get in touch with your local customs office for further information before placing your order. If you refuse to pay the charges due on the parcel, it will be abandoned by your country's customs authority, and you will not be refunded. If there are any outstanding charges (including, but not limited to, holding fees, entrance fees, and abandonment fees), these may also be billed to your payment method.

 


Lost/Delayed Post

We choose the most reliable postal service partners to ensure your packages arrive quickly and securely; however, post can occasionally be delayed or go missing. If you think your order may be delayed/lost, we will do all we can to help.

    1. Please let us know if you are still waiting to receive your parcel for UK orders within fifteen days of dispatch. Please wait for at least twenty days for non-UK orders before contacting us.
    2. We cannot investigate any item that has not been delivered unless 15 working days have passed since the date the item was dispatched. This is due to Royal Mail's terms.
    3. All claims must be made within 28 working days of the dispatch date (for your dispatch date, check your ‘Dispatch Confirmation’ email).
    4. If your purchase has yet to arrive within the expected time, please check tracking and also check with your neighbour or your local Delivery Office.

The 15 working day period before an investigation begins and the 28 working day deadline may be extended if events beyond our control disrupt deliveries.
