As you may be aware, VAT returns to its standard rate of 17½% after being at the reduced rate of 15% for a year. As with most retailers, we regret that our standard prices on most items will rise slightly to reflect this.

You can avoid this small rise by ordering on or before the 31st of December 2009. All orders placed before the 1st of January will be charged at the lower 15% VAT rate, regardless of when they’re processed and dispatched- so it makes sense to get your order in now!
