However, this is not possible for orders with bulky products.

TIMESCALES

For Royal Mail/USPS services, orders placed before 3pm GMT are dispatched on the same day. Parcels are passed to US Customs and Border Protection upon entry into the US. Customs clearance timescales are not guaranteed, and the estimated delivery timescales do not include any customs delays. It usually takes a few days to clear a parcel. Once cleared, it is passed to USPS. They usually provide an estimated delivery date on their website tracking.

For Fedex services, orders placed before 11am GMT are dispatched on the same day. Fedex clears parcels using their own customs import process, which is faster, usually one day, but still have the right to inspect and delay parcels.

TRACKING

You will receive an e-mail confirmation with tracking details when your parcel is dispatched. Please check your junk mail folder if you have not received this.

When Customs clear the parcel and pass it to USPS, tracking will start on their website. We cannot contact Customs Authorities, whilst they are processing parcels.

Parcels are not considered to be lost until 20 working days since dispatch. This is to provide US Customs and Border Protection with enough time to process any delayed parcels.

    TIMESCALES

    Orders placed before 3pm GMT on weekdays are dispatched on the same day for Royal Mail services.

    Orders placed before 11am GMT on weekdays are dispatched on the same day for express services.

    Royal Mail parcels are shipped from the UK and passed to Border Control for customs clearance. Once Customs clear the parcel, it is passed to the local postal service for onward delivery.

    Express services are pre-cleared through customs, allowing faster delivery, and will be delivered to your door by that courier.

    TRACKING

    You will receive an e-mail confirmation when your parcel is dispatched, and a further e-mail with any tracking details. Whilst Customs Border Control has the parcel, the tracking will not show any useful information. This is normal, it does not mean that the parcel is lost. When Customs clear the parcel and pass it to the local postal service, tracking will start on their website. We cannot contact Customs Authorities, whilst they are processing parcels.

    Tracking is not provided on the 'untracked' service. Parcels are not considered to be lost until 20 working days have passed, since dispatch. This is to provide Customs Border Control with enough time to process any delayed parcels. Untracked parcels are scanned on delivery, with the GPS location taken.

    CUSTOMS & IMPORTS

    1. AUSTRIA, BELGIUM, CYPRUS, FRANCE, GERMANY, IRELAND, LUXEMBOURG, MALTA, NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, PORTUGAL, SWITZERLAND

    Duty and taxes due on your order are calculated at our checkout and payment is made with your order. VOCLA will pay those charges to your local customs authority. Therefore, you will not need to pay any additional charges on delivery and the parcel will clear customs faster.

    2. ALL OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

    Local Customs authorities may charge import duties/taxes. VOCLA cannot be responsible for these charges. They are not charges that VOCLA receives, pays, or is responsible for. Goods are delivered duty unpaid - the price on our website does not include VAT for European customers. Customs clearance may also delay the expected delivery timescale. Please check the following:

    • TAX THRESHOLDS - your country may have a threshold for customs duties and import VAT, below which, no charges are made. For the EU, the import VAT threshold is €0, which means that import VAT will be charged at the standard rate of VAT in your country. For the EU, the customs threshold is €150, which means that goods over this value may attract customs duties (depending on their country of origin). The products sold on the VOCLA website are sold excluding VAT to European citizens.
    • COUNTRY OF ORIGIN- The UK-EU trade deal allows EU customers to import products that have a country of origin within the EU or UK, without incurring customs duties. Therefore, please check the country of origin for each product that you order. The country of origin is given within the 'product data' tab on each product page. If the country of origin is either the UK, an EU country or a country with whom the EU holds a free trade agreement, then there should be no customs duties payable on those products, if delivered to an EU country.

    For EU customers you should only be charged import VAT, at the rate of your country's standard VAT rate, plus customs duties (usually 12% for clothing), on products over €150 in value, which do not have a country of origin of either the UK or EU. For non-EU countries, you should be charged import VAT and customs duties on products with a value over your country's threshold. The legislation in each country can be different. For example, different import VAT rates. Therefore, please check before making any purchase.

    Please note that the above is only information that VOCLA has gathered, following research. Please check the rules for yourself, before making a purchase, especially for deliveries to the EU where rules are changing. VOCLA cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information. The rules are applied by your government and are a tax charge on the recipient. VOCLA will therefore not repay any customs charges.

    The products sold on VOCLA, are sold excluding taxes. We have discounted the price to reflect that Australian customers do not pay UK VAT. However, you or the recipient may be charged customs duties & import taxes by Customs and Border Protection. The legislation in each country is different, so please check before making any purchase. VOCLA cannot be responsible for these charges.

    Australian customers should be charged the following on delivery:

    • IMPORT VAT - at the Australian rate of Goods Sales Tax (ie 10%). However, we discount our $AU prices from the RRP, to account for the fact that Goods Sales Tax is not included in the price
    • CUSTOMS DUTIES - these are usually 12% for the majority of clothing products but only orders over $1000. If your order is over $1000, we will split it into two parcels.

    Therefore, Australian customers should only be charged 10% import GST (which has been discounted in our pricing), plus a small courier handling fee. Taxes will be collected by the courier.

    Local Customs authorities may charge import duties/taxes. VOCLA cannot be responsible for these charges. They are not charges that VOCLA receives, pays, or is responsible for. Goods are delivered duty unpaid - the price on our website does not include VAT for European customers. Customs clearance may also delay the expected delivery timescale. Please check the following:

    • TAX THRESHOLDS - your country may have a threshold for customs duties and import VAT, below which, no charges are made. For the EU, the import VAT threshold is €0, which means that import VAT will be charged at the standard rate of VAT in your country. For the EU, the customs threshold is €150, which means that goods over this value may attract customs duties (depending on their country of origin). The products sold on the VOCLA website are sold excluding VAT to European citizens.
    • COUNTRY OF ORIGIN- The UK-EU trade deal allows EU customers to import products that have a country of origin within the EU or UK, without incurring customs duties. Therefore, please check the country of origin for each product that you order. The country of origin is given within the 'product data' tab on each product page. If the country of origin is either the UK, an EU country or a country with whom the EU holds a free trade agreement, then there should be no customs duties payable on those products, if delivered to an EU country.

    For EU customers you should only be charged import VAT, at the rate of your country's standard VAT rate, plus customs duties (usually 12% for clothing), on products over €150 in value, which do not have a country of origin of either the UK or EU. For non-EU countries, you should be charged import VAT and customs duties on products with a value over your country's threshold. The legislation in each country can be different. For example, different import VAT rates. Therefore, please check before making any purchase.

    Please note that the above is only information that VOCLA has gathered, following research. Please check the rules for yourself, before making a purchase, especially for deliveries to the EU where rules are changing. VOCLA cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information. The rules are applied by your government and are a tax charge on the recipient. VOCLA will therefore not repay any customs charges.

    Orders placed before 11am GMT on weekdays are dispatched on the same day for express services.

    Royal Mail parcels are shipped from the UK and passed to Border Control for customs clearance. Once Customs clear the parcel, it is passed to the local postal service for onward delivery.

    Express services are pre-cleared through customs, allowing faster delivery, and will be delivered to your door by that courier.

    TRACKING

    You will receive an e-mail confirmation when your parcel is dispatched, and a further e-mail with any tracking details. Whilst Customs Border Control has the parcel, the tracking will not show any useful information. This is normal, it does not mean that the parcel is lost. When Customs clear the parcel and pass it to the local postal service, tracking will start on their website. We cannot contact Customs Authorities, whilst they are processing parcels.

    Tracking is not provided on the 'untracked' service. Parcels are not considered to be lost until 20 working days have passed, since dispatch. This is to provide Customs Border Control with enough time to process any delayed parcels. Untracked parcels are scanned on delivery, with the GPS location taken.

However, you or the recipient may be charged customs duties & import taxes by Customs and Border Protection. The legislation in each country is different, so please check before making any purchase. VOCLA cannot be responsible for these charges.

    Australian customers should be charged the following on delivery:

    • IMPORT VAT - at the Australian rate of Goods Sales Tax (ie 10%). However, we discount our $AU prices from the RRP, to account for the fact that Goods Sales Tax is not included in the price
    • CUSTOMS DUTIES - these are usually 12% for the majority of clothing products but only orders over $1000. If your order is over $1000, we will split it into two parcels.

    Therefore, Australian customers should only be charged 10% import GST (which has been discounted in our pricing), plus a small courier handling fee. Taxes will be collected by the courier.

    LATE OR LOST

    Delivery timescales are estimates and are not guaranteed because our service providers do not guarantee the delivery timescale. Only the UK Express Special Delivery service is a guaranteed timescale.
    For UK services, orders are not considered to be lost until 10 working days past the expected delivery date. VOCLA receives delivery confirmations from the Royal Mail on all parcels, via GPS 2D barcodes that are scanned on delivery, tracking, or signature services on the parcels. The GPS location of the scan is recorded to confirm delivery. These confirmations will be checked before sending replacement items. It is the policy of VOCLA to send replacement items if available, rather than issue a refund. We may send a Missing Parcel Form which needs to be signed so that a claim for loss can be made with the Royal Mail. This would need to be signed after 10 working days have passed and any refund would only be processed once this form is returned.
    For International services, orders are not considered to be lost until 28 working days past the date that the parcel was passed to Customs for clearance. Tracking and signature confirmations will be checked once this timescale has passed and replacement items sent. It is the policy of VOCLA to send replacement items if available, rather than issue a refund. Most late International parcels relate to the parcel being held-up with Customs authorities. If the tracking for a parcel does not work on the local courier website, this usually means that the parcel is still being processed by Customs and hasn’t yet been passed to the local courier. The length of time taken by Customs authorities varies by country, is outside the control of VOCLA and VOCLA is unable to contact Customs during this time.

    MISSING ITEMS

    If your order is missing items we will require a picture of the packaging and the Royal Mail (or local courier) apology bag or picture of the damage label that they attach to the parcel. VOCLA will then dispatch replacement items. If the parcel is not damaged, we will 1) check the CCTV on our packaging station to ensure that the order was fully picked and packed 2) double-check our stock levels 3) match the weight of the parcel confirmed on dispatch with the Royal Mail to the weight of all the items on the order 4) review any pictures of the parcel taken by the Royal Mail on delivery.

    UNDELIVERED INTERNATIONAL PARCELS

    If you fail to take delivery of a parcel and it is returned to us, our courier charges £4.60 for this return, in addition to the original postage cost. These costs and fees will be deducted from any refund.
