Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do your goods cost more shipping into the EU?

A. Before Brexit EU customers were charged UK VAT, now the VAT is deducted when you check out. However when the parcel arrives in your country you will be asked to pay the relevant VAT. There may also be a small admin fee from customs but the goods are no nore expensive than before Brexit. If the goods are under 150 euro's the vat is paid upfront by the IOSS system

A. If you are from the US and a error may occur as you are trying complete your purchase, please enter the initials for your state instead of the full state name. for example - IL for Illinois

Q. Is Guest check out quicker?.

A. Not particularly as you still have to enter all of your information such as full name and email address so that we can process your order.

Q. Is PVC safe worn next to the Skin?

A. The PVC we use is manufactured to very strict European legislation and is safe worn next to the skin.

Please email us if you have any queries concerning sensitive skin or allergy conditions.

Q. Sometimes the garment has white powder on it, what is this and how do I remove it?

A. The white powder will either be cornflour or talc as we do use both. The powder helps us manufacturer the garment and stops it sticking. If you wish to remove it use a damp cloth to wipe it off.

Q. Can I visit your premises and buy direct from you?

A. Strictly speaking we are not a physical shop and therefore we no longer take appointments for visitors.

Q. Why have you stopped selling to me?

A. If you repeatedly send perfectly good garments back to us for refund we will stop selling to you. Other reasons maybe that you were abusive to our staff or you sent rude or threatening emails to us.

Q. I noticed that a garment made from a material last year is not the same as before on my last order?

A. When PVC is produced it is a unique batch every time, and if its a new supplier the PVC can look or feel slightly different. We cannot guarantee the PVC will always be exactly the same.

Q. How do I make sure that the poppers don't rust?

A. Please make sure that if your raincoat is wet, you dry it off when you get home especially round the poppers to prevent them from rusting.
