More Information for EU States Delivery

General Information for EU Orders:

This is a consumer tax, and you, the customer, are responsible for paying these charges. Minimum World accepts no liability for non-delivery if customs charges are not paid.
  • Some EU orders may also be subject to additional customs duties and charges. These import duties may vary by country, and we are unable to calculate these charges, so please check with your local customs office for current tariffs before placing an order.

The Fine Print

We aim to ship all orders within 3 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays). From time to time, however, delays in dispatch can occur during busy periods or due to unforeseen circumstances. Delivery time estimates given for each service are guidelines only and postal events beyond our control, such as customs processing, postal strikes and adverse weather conditions may affect delivery speeds. Therefore, we cannot guarantee delivery times (unless previously agreed). If your goods are required urgently we recommend upgrading to an Express Delivery option or contacting us to discuss your requirements. Any order placed on an Express Delivery service before 1pm (GMT) will be shipped the same day (subject to stock availability).


Please ensure there will be someone available to receive the parcel at the delivery address provided, or that there is a safe place at the address where parcels can be delivered securely. If any parcel is returned to us because of failure to deliver (except where the fault is clearly ours or the carriers), we will charge a redelivery fee which will need to be paid before re-sending the order. Minimum World is only responsible for the safe delivery of goods up until the point at which they are successfully delivered to the address provided by the customer.


Please note that delivery instructions cannot be acted upon and we are unable to add them to your order.


All of our parcels are shipped from England, UK - if your delivery address is outside of the United Kingdom then your order may be subject to import duties and taxes imposed by your government on imported goods. You will be informed by the carrier of any applicable charges when the parcel reaches your destination country and these will usually be payable before your order is released for delivery. You, the customer, are responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount. We advise you to contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. We will not be liable or responsible if you do not pay any such import duties or taxes.


Please make sure to read our full delivery Terms & Conditions before you order.
