GRIPPING BEAST DELIVERY INFORMATION (Last updated July 10th 2026)
Explained clearly in THIS blog post.
Using IOSS means you will be charged the correct VAT rate for your country when you order from us, and we will pay the VAT to your customs authorities on your behalf. This means that your parcel will be shipped straight to your door without being delayed by the import process, and no irritating “administration fees” will be added. Orders must be €149 or under to qualify.

We've introduced this lower-cost shipping option that will cover the vast majority of orders. But in the rare event that your order is unusually heavy or bulky (for example, a large number of hardback books) and the actual shipping cost is significantly higher, we may contact you to request an additional postage payment. If you prefer not to pay the additional shipping, or we can't reach an agreement, we'll cancel your order and issue a full refund.
