Changes to EU customs requirements that take effect from 1 November 2026.
EU Handling Fee Introduction - an additional £2 EU Handling Fee will be introduced per HS code. This is in addition to the current £3 duty per HS code.
The November 1st changes will add a further £5 above postal costs, meaning it will now cost over £9 to send a Large Letter containing any number of 35mm slides to the EU. This PDDP service ensures the customer does not incur any additional cost at the doorstep, as VAT and duties are calculated and paid to the relevant tax authorities at the time of posting.
I know these charges will effectively end small or low value purchases from the EU, so in order to help my valued European customers I am offering to wave this £5-00 charge for all combined orders (auction and/or buy-it-now) valued at £25-00 or more - with effect from November 1st 2026.
Note: countries where PDDP service is not yet available (currently including Greece, Switzerland and Romania) are exempt and will only be charged standard postage rates.
Postage will be combined or discounted wherever possible so please wait for an invoice before paying for multiple items. US AND EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS - for best value feel free to combine up to 3 consecutive auctions instead of paying for just one item at a time.
UK - £1-90 for up to 4 slides (First Class); £1-00 for up to 4 slides (2nd Class); £2-60 (48 Hour Tracked) for 5 or more slides
USA - £5-50 for any number of slides (PDDP service - you should not expect to pay any further import duties)
Other Worldwide - £4-50 for any number of slides
EUROPE - £9-20 for Royal Mail PDDP service (you should not expect to pay any further import duties), or £4-70 if your combined order is valued at £25 or more.
All slides listed are of good quality in terms of light/weather, exposure and sharpness (unless otherwise noted). Note: the preview image may show up particle matter which is generally on the scanner, not the slide itself.
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my auctions and left positive feedback. Although no longer a new seller I am still looking to build more great feedback from my customers, so rest assured every effort will be made to Keep prices as low as possible, ensure good communication when needed, accurate descriptions, fast despatch and good packaging.
Please contact me if you have any concerns about postage costs.
Thanks for your interest and good luck with your bidding.
