We issue a tracking number to all customers receiving Next Day Delivery when Royal Mail collect from us of an evening. This will allow you to see where your package is at any given time. The dispatch and tracking email will be sent automatically at approximately 19:00 each evening.

In the event nobody is home to accept your delivery, a red card/slip will be left to indicate attempted delivery, or this will be communicated via your tracking page. The parcel will then be taken back to your nearest Sorting Office to await collection or re-delivery.

Why am I being charged GST?

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax on sales of goods and services in Jersey. GST is charged at 5% on most goods and services including Bullion and Coins. As an importer of goods into Jersey we are legally required to charge GST on our products.

Why are you charging GST on items below the de minimis amount?

As a large retailer we must charge GST on all sales, not just those above the current minimis limit of £60.

If I am a GST registered trader, can I reclaim the GST paid?

Yes, you can reclaim the GST paid importing the goods into Jersey. Further information is available here: https://www.customs.gst.gov.je/
