Reply To: What will be your last orders before Brexit?

I’m based in the UK and am concerned about what will happen to the price and availability of my regular hobby products and supplies that come over from Europe.  I have just put in a ‘final’ order for some game specific foam box inserts from Feldherr in Germany as the price and selection from resellers in the UK is not great.

Having had issues with items coming through customs before I’m not looking forward to whatever the end of this mess becomes.  Likely drop in the value of £ sterling, 20% vat to add plus any import duty all don’t look great.  To top it off the post office also charge £8 for the priviledge of asking for the import duties too.  That on its own is usually enough to put off ideas of small orders from international companies.

A genuine concern is where we stand with outstanding fullfilments from some big Kickstarters.  I’m a backer of both Kingdom Death 1.5 and Solomon Kane.  Both look pretty certain to deliver well after this process comes to a conclusion.  At the time I ordered we were looking okay as delivery was EU compliant but that won’t mean anything now.  I’ll have to start saving now if I’m getting stung for an additional 30%+ at delivery.
