🌍 International Shipping
At this time, Manxsy only supports shipping within the United Kingdom and Isle of Man.
We understand that many buyers would love to order from international locations, but offering global shipping through our marketplace comes with significant complexities, including:
- Customs duties, taxes, and import fees that vary by country.
- Legal obligations, such as U.S. marketplace facilitator laws and EU IOSS VAT collection requirements.
- Complex shipping documentation, including customs forms and HS codes, which sellers must complete accurately.
- Shipping delays and additional administrative costs that can negatively affect the buyer experience.
- We take these responsibilities very seriously and want to ensure that any international shipping we offer is safe, reliable, and compliant with all regulations.
Manxsy keeps a close eye on these issues and reviews the possibilities for global shipping regularly. As soon as we are confident we can offer international shipping to our sellers and buyers without complications, we will make an announcement to let everyone know.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to make Manxsy the safest and most enjoyable marketplace for everyone.
