FAQs

Payment

We accept the following payment methods: Shop Pay, PayPal and Google Pay along with all major credit and debit cards. Payment is taken straightaway for pre-orders but these orders can be cancelled up to 7 days before the release date.

Ordering and delivery

What countries do you ship to?

We ship to most regions worldwide. Click here for shipping countries and rates.

Please note that whilst we do not charge VAT on international orders, import duties and taxes may be charged upon arrival at the destination country.

Do you charge tax?

We only charge VAT to UK customers, which is included in the price of the item. VAT is deducted for international customers. For example, if you had an item for £17.00 in the UK, the international price would be £14.17. Though the product page may state VAT is included for international customers, this is not the case and is something Shopify is working on to fix. 

Please note that international charges will include conversion fees. For example (based on Australia), the product price is £5.00. Without tax, the price is £4.17. Converted to AUD the price is $8.01. Add a 2% conversion fee makes the price $8.17.

Are you IOSS registered?

Unfortunately, at this moment, we are not IOSS registered.

For international shipments, import duties and taxes may need to be paid upon arrival. You should be aware of these potential costs before placing an order with us, as they vary by country.

Upon arrival in the destination country, if you do not wish to pay duties or taxes, your order will be returned to our distribution warehouse (Utopia/Cinram) at your expense. Once we receive the returned items, we will issue a refund for the value of the goods paid, less the return shipping costs. The cost of the initial shipping will not be refunded.

Can I pre-order?

Yes, you can pre-order a product but please note that payment is captured at the time of purchase.

We aim to deliver products on or before the release date. To ensure you receive your item on the release date, please place your order no later than one week prior to the release date. Orders will be processed the Monday prior to release (unless the Monday is a public holiday, in which case the order will process on the Tuesday).

Prices are subject to change and therefore, if the prices lowers between placing your order and the release date, you will receive a refund for the difference. If the price increases, you will only be charged the original price.

When will my order be processed?

Orders placed before 11.30am on weekdays will be processed the same day. Orders after this time or over the weekend will be processed the next working day.

Please note that we aim to process orders on the above timeframe, but if we are experiencing a high number of orders, this may be delayed. 

We are not open on Public Holidays and are closed over the Christmas and New Year period. Our site will be updated accordingly with those holiday dates.

When will my item ship?

Orders are sent by our distribution partner, Utopia Distribution Services.

Orders will usually be shipped within 24 hours of processing. International orders will usually be shipped within 1-2 working days.

International orders will be tracked; tracking numbers will be provided once the item has been dispatched, usually within 1-2 working days. Depending on the total weight, your order may be sent in separate packages. You will receive a tracking number for each shipment.

Please note that if you place an order that includes catalogue products and new release(s) (pre-orders), your order will only ship once the pre-ordered item(s) is in stock (usually 1 week before the release date). This only applies to international orders.

For example.

Your order contains 3 catalogue products, a new release that is out 22nd August and a new release that is out 29th August, the whole of your order will only ship on the 22nd August.
