Please see below for the latest COVID19 & Brexit updates:

Imports into the UK

You may be aware that UK imports for certain goods is taking a little longer than before the new UK border controls. Although around 80% of shipments to the UK are generally on time. There are instances were perishable goods must be prioritised on import, this sometimes may cause delays that are unexpected.

Our shipping partners, suppliers and ourselves are now seeing back-logs which may result in delays into the EU and the UK, in some cases these are more severe than others. This has been compounded by hold-ups at port due to Brexit, COVID-19 and the blockage of sea freight at the Suez Canal.

We thank you for your patience in these matters and if your order has been affected, rest assured, we are working hard to keep all customers updated as soon as we receive this information! All of our suppliers are dedicated to finding new ways to minimize disruption the best way possible.

Exports outside of the UK

All UK VAT has been removed for new international orders (to be shipped outside of the United Kingdom), received after the 1st January 2021. All orders after this date will be subject to the destinations customs rate on arrival, please note Skandium has no control over these rates. Please contact your local customs office for clarification on fees.

Abandonment of shipments that have left the UK due to a dislike of your local customs rate, does not entitle you to a refund. The goods must be returned to us and this is the responsibility of the customer.
Please contact your local customs office for clarification on fees. Skandium has no control over these fees.
