What Is VAT?
VAT stands for Value Added Tax, it is a sales tax. VideoGamePerfection.com is based in the Republic of Ireland and owned by VGP Media Ltd, a VAT registered business. All our prices are subject to European Union VAT.
If you live in an EU member state, you pay VAT at point of purchase on our goods. Your goods are then shipped to you and will NOT incur any other tax, duty or handling fees.
If you live outside of the EU (including Norway or Switzerland), you do NOT pay VAT at point of purchase. However, your parcel may be subject to sales tax, duty and handling fees at your countries border. These fees are often higher than the cost of VAT, please check with local government or post office for more information.
Customers purchasing from outside of the EU are 100% responsible for paying any and all duties, taxes, brokerage and/or handling fees on their parcels.
Not sure if you live in an EU member state? Please check the list of EU countries https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/countries_en
VAT exceptions for EU based businesses – If your business is VAT registered in the EU and you would like to purchase VAT free goods for business use using the EUs reverse charge mechanism, please contact us.
Brexit – The UK is no longer a member of the EU single market or customs union. Under new UK government rules, UK VAT will be applied to UK orders only.
How do the new UK VAT rules work?
Orders under £135 GBP (excluding postage and packaging) will be charged VAT at point of purchase. You will then get your parcel and pay no import VAT (handling fees and duty may still apply, this is outside of our control).
Orders over £135 GBP (excluding postage and packaging) will NOT be charged VAT at point of purchase. Instead, you pay import VAT, handling fees and duty when you receive your parcel.
For ALL non EU destinations, including Norway and Switzerland, handling fees, duties and other taxes may be due and are the responsibility of the customer.
Hi, I’m trying to buy some stuff, but the only shipping option is DHL…
I don’t want to use it since is extremely expensive in my country. I’m from Chile.
Um, hello just a quick question. This one is compatible with gamecube also?
Looking forward (as I’m sure you are!) to UK postage being sorted. In the mean time is their a third party that items can be sent to who can re-send?
Do you offer shipping to the UK? The checkout page doesn’t offer it as a country option.
We need to register for VAT and update some systems before we can resume UK shipping, sorry.
Any idea on when this will happen? As I’ve been looking over your site and would like to get some stuff from you as well.
That was what I was looking for 🙁 have ordered from VGP before but now can’t! Any idea when it will return? As if it is soon I might wait, otherwise I will have to have a look around as I want some Bliss adapters and a couple of other bits that only seem to be available from the USA otherwise!!
Our paperwork was submitted with HMRC so it’s really waiting on them now.
That’s disappointing. I’ve been eagerly waiting for the latest OSSC drop for a while but at checkout noticed that UK was not on the countries list.
Any update on this? Got good money waiting to spend on an OSSC and matching Koryuu Transcoder!
Please start posting to the UK again, I Don’t want to end up buying an ossc from amazon but the wait is becoming a joke.
Our hands are tied until HMRC give us a VAT number, we’ve been waiting since February.
I gave up and ordered one from amazon 🙁
¿Do you use DHL?
Yes.
How do you guys handle the exchange rate, shipping and handling to the United States?
Exchange rate is done by your card provider. Shipping is by Post Office or DHL, whichever you choose.
Hi, do you have any other options for paying? I am sad that i can’t buy from your Shop without a credit card.
We take debit cards too and can arrange bank transfer as a last resort.
Is Stripe a viable payment method for individual consumers? It seems to be a business-only platform, during account configuration, it’s asking me what sort of business I am, not providing an option for consumers.
A normal bank transfer isn’t possible?
You don’t need to sign up for a Stripe account to use it, just checkout on our website normally.
I’m thinking of buying a product from your store but could find no information powered by stripe for cards.Also i could find no other contact information apart from email
Stripe’s website is here – https://stripe.com/
That’s right we only do tech support by e-mail.
