I am afraid that as of 20th November 2022 I have decided to cease trading outside the UK.
Our goods are getting through customs and should do because the scheme selling business to business is legal but even with legal routes to market the delays can be for several weeks. We will be able to honour our warranty obligations using the mechanisms detailed below but new purchases cannot be despatched. If you place an order you will get a full refund. I would love to sell to you but Small and Medium Size Businesses in the UK cannot legally sell direct to customers in the EU without paying significant and unaffordable management fees. Brexit has lost me 100% of my export sales.
You can still buy some of my pumps (but not radiator boosters) in some EU countries through Amazon. Amazon have agreed tax exemptions through the UK Government using VIP Tax arrangements so it is worth searching for ShowerPowerBoosters on the Amazon platform.
The following legal B2B procedure is recorded below and could be used in exceptional circumstances when upgrades are needed? After many hours seeking to find a legal way of selling to the EU without management fees, deciding to stop exporting is painful.
ShowerPowerBoosters were sold to European Customers at the same price as sold to UK customers plus £10 for postage. They were sold through WrightSolar Ltd. All export pumps had a 2 year warranty (does not include USA and Canada).
Selling B2B VAT rules are so very different to B2C customers so nominate a legitimate local business in the EU for delivery to that business and we would deliver ShowerPowerBooster products to that company. You simply collect them when they arrive. This gives us an unlimited number of temporary distributers throughout the EU. The business need not normally sell pumps.
We can sell to customers in the EU indirectly through any legitimate business local to you in the EU using Business to Business rules and regulations. Selling B2B puts the onus on the EU business to account for the EU VAT if any. This is legal and avoids technical VAT implications which were making it impossible for UK products to sell into the EU since June 2021.
Identify a business (any business) local to you who can take delivery (this could be your place of work).
There will be an additional cost for postage we need to pay but the full cost will not be passed on to you.
Tracked and traced parcels up to 2kg to the EU will cost £15 – £5.00 = £10.00
Tracked and traced parcels up to 2kg to the New Zealand will cost £30 – £20 = £10.00
