| When shipping to the EU, I need to include the IOSS number with online shipments
otherwise the buyer has to pay the VAT twice.
There is no IOSS number when shipping to the UK. If I just include the VAT invoice
on the package is this enough or do UK buyers need something special online to
avoid paying VAT twice?
Thanks,
Evan

AFAIK, UK isn’t requiring electronic transmission of the VAT number.

| Thank-you!
As a former stamp collector, I always like to ship my packages with stamps and
this is not possible when I have to put the information into the online system
and pay for it online. So it looks like I can still put stamps on my shipments
to the UK.

Ummm unless your sending a cape or something you can’t really use stamps to ship
lego orders anywhere outside of Canada. Not USA, not Europe or anything. Oversized
lettermail is exclusively available for within Canada and if shipped to other
countries will go thru at times but many will never show up and it’s against
Canada post rules

Can't speak about Canada but you can definitely use stamps to send parcels
in the USA. They'll charge you the difference at the retail counter.

Now that you say that that does ring a bell to some extent but is extremely rare
(never received or sent a parcel that way and have only seen it once in my life)
but that is plausible but in General most people who use stamps to send something
in Canada arnt referring to parcels but rather lettermail

| I still ship it as a small packet. I just bring it to the post office with the
pre-affixed stamps.
