DDP (DELIVERY DUTIES PAID)

Johnstons of Elgin online orders are despatched from the United Kingdom. Delivery duties are applicable when goods are exported to any country outside of the European Union, and are payable by the recipient of the goods.

If you opt to pre pay duties on your order, this will allow the goods to be delivered with no prolonged delay. All duties and taxes related to the goods will be covered, and no extra charges will be required by the shipper or recipient.

If you choose not to pre-pay at the checkout the goods may either held by the delivery courier until the invoice has been paid, or the goods may be delivered followed by an invoice for the duties sent to the recipient.

HIGH VALUE ORDERS

For higher value orders, over $2500USD approximately, you may be contacted by your local customs to provide additional information regarding the order and / or your identity. These requirements have been put in place by customs directly, and unfortunately are out of our control.

You may also be contacted by DHL to confirm the manufacturer / our address, which is as follows-

You can rest assured that we'll keep your items safe until they reach you. Once your purchase has been delivered to the address specified in your order and signed for, they are no longer covered by our insurance. If you are unavailable when your package is due for delivery, our courier will make two further delivery attempts. All of our orders are despatched using a 'signature required' service via DHL.

 

Our shipping partner, DHL, offers you the flexibility to make changes to your delivery while it’s on its way to you using DHL On Demand Delivery (ODD). Whether you need to schedule a delivery for another day or remove the signature requirement, ODD makes it easy for you.

 

Once your order has left us and is with DHL, they will contact you via SMS and/or email to let you know when to expect the delivery. If ODD is available in your location, this message will also contain a link to the On Demand Delivery site. All you need is your tracking (shipment waybill) number.

Here’s a few options you can select to customise your delivery:

Rearrange Delivery

If your estimated delivery date doesn’t suit, you have the option to select another date within 5 working days. Where available, you’ll also be able to select a timed window to receive your order.

 

Signature Release

If you’d prefer not to sign for your delivery, you can remove the signature requirement. Please note that if you choose to remove this, JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN and DHL cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage that may occur once your order has been delivered. Orders containing items of high value may still require a signature, even if you request to not sign for your order on arrival.

 

Leave With Neighbour

Request for your order to be left with your neighbour by providing DHL with their house number and any further instructions. Please note that if you select this option, JOHNSTONS OF ELGIN and DHL cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage that may occur once your order has been delivered.

CHANGES TO THE TAX REGULATIONS IN THE US WHICH WILL BE APPLICABLE FROM 1ST JANUARY 2020


Following a supreme court decision from 2018 which rules that remote sellers with no physical presence in a state must collect and remit the sales tax for each state where they do business, Johnstons of Elgin & Global-e have taken steps to support the calculation, charge and remittances of sales tax as required by each state. From 1 January 2020 Sales tax will be calculated and added to the price at checkout and will be required to be paid by the customer at checkout, essentially the same as any local US transactions where the customer pays the state’s local tax at checkout.
