Germany Customer Promise
Ordering from the UK to Germany can feel less straightforward after Brexit. At Vshine Silk and Shine, we want our German customers to have clear, reliable information on delivery, import costs, and the courtesy codes available before placing an order.
Our aim is simple: clarity, tracked dispatch from the UK, and practical support at checkout.
Delivery to Germany
Orders to Germany are dispatched from the United Kingdom via Royal Mail International Tracked.
- Dispatch within 1–3 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays)
- Typical delivery time: 3–5 business days from dispatch
- Customs processing may occasionally extend delivery times
- Final delivery in Germany is usually completed by Deutsche Post
- Shipping to Germany: £9.95
- Complimentary shipping on orders of £300 and above
Customs, VAT & Import Duties
As the UK is outside the EU customs area, orders sent to Germany may be subject to import charges on delivery.
These may include:
- German import VAT
- Customs duty (for goods above €150, depending on product type and classification)
- A postal handling fee
The final amount is calculated by German customs during the import process.
Germany Customer Courtesy Codes
To make ordering from Germany easier, we offer Germany Customer Courtesy Codes at checkout. These codes are designed to cover the likely import cost at checkout.
| Order Value | Code | Saving |
|---|---|---|
| £90–£149 | GERMANY15 | £15 off |
| £150–£299 | GERMANY30 | £30 off |
| £300 and above | GERMANY60 | £60 off |
Enter the code at checkout before payment.
Examples
- A silk scarf around £100 may attract German import VAT and a handling fee. GERMANY15 is designed to cover much of this likely cost.
- An order around £300 may attract VAT, possible customs duty, and a handling fee. GERMANY60 is designed to reduce much of that expected impact at checkout.
These examples are a guide only. The final amount is determined in Germany during import.
Returns from Germany
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unworn, unused, and in original condition with tags attached.
To begin a return, please email customerservice@silkandshine.co.uk with your order number.
