Destinations

We have experience shipping to over 55 different countries worldwide without any significant issues and are able to ship to anywhere Royal Mail or DHL ships to. If you think there may be issues shipping to your country, please use the Contact Us form and check with us before placing your order.

Duty and Taxes

You may be liable for import duties, sales tax, or customs processing fees if you’re outside of the United Kingdom or European Union. It’s your responsibility to ensure you’re fully aware of the local requirements for importing goods from the UK to your location. We cannot offer any refunds due to unexpected charges applied locally.

DHL DDP Shipments to European Union

To comply with EU tax regulations, VAT is charged at the checkout at the rate based on the destination country. DHL handle the tax payment to the appropriate authorities. This allows fast clearance through customs and ensures no surprise fees are payable by the customer. To cover the charges incurred by z80kits to use this service, a minimum order value of £50 (approx €60) is applicable to all EU destinations.

Returns

You have the right to cancel your order up to 14 days from the order being placed or the goods received, whichever is the latter. To be eligible for a return, it must be in the condition it was received and in the original packaging.

Any postal charges incurred will only be refunded in the case of faulty goods. We cannot accept liability for any goods lost / damaged in return transit – the sender must be responsible for pursuing any claims to this effect with the courier concerned. Proof of posting is ALWAYS recommended.

If returning an item from outside the UK, ensure that the customs forms are filled in correctly and it is marked as a return. Failure to do so could result in additional customs fees or duties which will be deducted from any refund due.

Please email or use the Contact Us form before returning any goods and let us know if you need a refund, exchange, or credit towards another item.

A refund will only be issued after the goods are received back and inspected, so please be aware that shipping times need to be accounted for.
