Find below brief information on prices and shipping.
VAT and import duties
Prices do not include VAT. We are based in Scotland, United Kingdom (UK); therefore, 20% VAT is added for UK customers.
Customers outside the UK are responsible for all VAT, duties, and fees incurred when receiving goods shipped from the UK. Except for the US: we will charge you a 10% tariff (showing as VAT in checkout) and pay it upfront since that is the only option with Royal Mail.
Declared value for customs
The full price is declared on the customs form stating “Sale of goods” – no “Gift” or “Commercial sample”. Please do not ask us to deviate from this practice. We want to run an honest business, follow the rules, and avoid any issues for us.
Payments and currency
Payments are processed by Stripe and accept major credit and debit cards. Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported for fast checkout. Note that Kaamos Tech does not store any payment information; if you decide to save your card for future orders (no need to), the information is being saved with the payment provider, not us. See Privacy Policy for more information.
All prices are in British Pounds (GBP, £). If the currency of your payment method is different, please check the exchange rates and fees with your bank.
Price changes
Prices may and likely will change occasionally. We run a micro business with very small production batches, where fluctuations in component prices, exchange rates, and tariffs may change our costs significantly and quickly. Therefore, we may need to adjust the prices between batches.
Order processing time
All items in stock are ready for shipping. However, we do not process and ship orders every day. We aim to get the orders out of the door within three days, and should it take longer, we will inform you. If you need your order faster, please contact us first. In such a case, you probably want a faster shipping method as well.
Shipping methods and charges
The default shipping option is the UK postal service, Royal Mail, which switches to the local postal company when arriving in your country. Unfortunately, we cannot know what the local postal or courier companies are in each country, so please check you are happy with it. In terms of tracking, the service depends on the country, and sometimes accurate tracking is not available even if a tracked service is used.
Current shipping charges and options:
- UK
- Royal Mail Tracked 24: £4.00
- Europe
- International Tracked/Signed*: £8.50
- Rest of the world
- International Tracked/Signed*: £12.00
*We use International Tracked when available; however, to some countries only International Signed is available and tracking may not be updated after the parcel leaves the UK.
We will add more shipping options later on. If you wish to use a courier, please contact us.
For order values over £270 we tend to use couriers (DPD, Fedex, or UPS). In such case, please leave your contact number.
Re-used packing materials
Small piles of packing material are gathered when ordering PCBs and components, including recycled paper-based padding (thank you Digikey), but also lots of plastic in the form of bubble wrap, foam, and mini-grip and ESD bags. Instead of throwing these away, we re-use them when packing our orders. We hope you understand if the item you ordered is packed in a Mouser/Digikey ESD/mini-grip bag – they do use a lot of them!
