Sales to EU countries
Changes to customs regulations within the EU are being enforced with varying degrees of severity. Unfortunately this means that some CD orders from the UK to the EU are incurring extra charges. The majority of our packets are getting through ok without extra customs costs, but this isn’t guaranteed.
If you live in the European Union and are worried about possible customs charges, you can avoid them by ordering our CDs from our European distributor Soundohm, who stock all our discs.
You can order almost all our CDs from Soundohm’s website here
