Another New delivery by Exotic Erotics on it’s way

While the last delivery is still in transit, another new delivery of Dildos by Exotic Erotics (English / German) is on it’s way.

We expect it to arrive in about 1 month (including customs). Then we just have to count, label and sort it for the new stock to be available in our shop (English Shop / German Shop). If you want to track this delivery, you can do so here, if you are eagerly awaiting some toy to be in stock again.

Custom Dildos:
For a few days now, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmnes. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully payed right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.

There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)

Zetacreations restocked

The announced delivery of Dildos by Zetacreations (English / German) arrived.

The new stock is already available in our shop.

However Boxie, Instructor and Kolton are still out of stock.
Given the extreme transatlantic shipping times during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic,
these will likely not arrive befor the holidays.

We are thinking about allowing custom orders for Zetacreations as the delivery times have improved drastically.

Brexit – please read

This blog posting will be constantly updated to reflect the current situation.

TL:DR

  • Minimum order amount of 135GBP because of HMRC, not Brexit
  • You have to pay 20% UK VAT
  • For goods not produced in the EU, you also have to pay customs (wasn’t part of the trade deal)

The following manufacturers are in the EU and thus free from customs (but not VAT):
Bad Wolf
FlurbMe
FurryStyle
GLC
Lizard Lars
Sidewinder Creations

Current status

  • Amazon
    • Amazon.de shipping to the UK disabled (does not affect Yiffy.Toys store)
    • Amazon.co.uk disabled
  • VAT
    • For Northern Ireland, the movement of goods doesn’t change. We split up the UK based on post code in our shop system to accomodate that. However DHL requires us to include customs paperwork because everything for N.Ireland is shipped through GB. There should be no paperwork or payment required by the customer. This is just for DHL temporarily storing parcels in GB.
    • Inquiry at HMRC about specifics for UK VAT invoices to implement them late in 2021
    • we are no longer required to charge 16% German VAT
    • UK requires customer to pay 20% UK VAT for imports
    • Minimum order size equivalent to 135 GBP to comply with UK VAT regulations (Not Brexit but HMRC)
  • Customs and imports
    • we are adding a CN23 customs export declaration to all UK orders
    • we also added our EU EORI number and activated electronic transmission of customs export data
    • DHL has informed us that they will try to do the customs import paperwork in coordination with Royal Mail. Of cause customer are still required to do the payment part.
    • UK requires customer to pay customs fees for imports of goos not originally produced in the EU (not part of the UK-EU trade deal)

Next Steps

  • early 2021 Automatically enforce that minimum order size (Not Brexit but HMRC)
  • late 2021 Evaluate possibility of automatic invoice printing UK VAT complient dual-currency invoices with a tax point (date of supply) for orders below 135 GBP
  • late 2021 Waiting for a solution to have UK VAT on orders <135GBP but no UK VAT for orders >135GBP.

Background: HMRC VAT regulations

According to a policy document of HMRC, above 135 GBP the customer pays the 20% UK VAT along with the customs fees. Either to the customs office or to the postal service (if the postal services did the paperwork in your name). This is not part of Brexit but a change in the VAT rules made by HMRC.

TL:DR: This requires heavy modifications to our software and processes. Mostly because of the currencies. It is likely that we will just require a minimum order to be 135 GBP.
Doing that will require a modiciation to the shop software to allow for a minimum order quantity to be country-specific.

Below 135 GBP, we would be required to pay the VAT. However doing that is not exactly easy.

  1. We would have to register for a UK VAT ID in addition to our existing EU VAT ID.
  2. For that we would need an very expensive british business bank account first or an explanation why we pay by debit card or (with unknown fees) credit card with no way to receive refunds that way.
  3. Our invoices would have to state the UK VAT and the total sums also in british pound using the official exchange rate of the european central bank at that time (even if the invoice is printed ahead of time or a copy is printed at a later time).
  4. Our invoices would also suddenly need to contain the date of shipping (that happens after the invoice is printed). Something our shop software is in no way prepared to do.
  5. Obviously we would have to declare our UK taxes and pay then and keep separate records. Luckily the later can be done on paper, so we don’t need to bend a German accounting software using Euro into somehow handling this.
  6. Also we would need a way for our shop software to determine that UK VAT applies only to orders <135GBP but not to orders above this threshold. Something it just can not do yet.

Delivery of Zetacreations toys on it’s way

A new delivery of Dildos by Zetacreations (English / German) is on it’s way. When it arrives, we expect all Zeta toys except Boxie and Kolton to be back in stock.

Impatient?
You can track the shipment if you are eagerly awaiting some toy to get back in stock.

ETA
Usually, we would expect it to arrive in about 10 business days (including customs).
However due to the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, we need to add a whole MONTH to that estimate.
Then we just have to count, label and sort it for the new stock to be available in our shop (English Shop / German Shop). When that happend, we’ll report here again, so you can place your orders on items that are curretly still out of stock.  

Custom dildos
As always with this manufacturer, we do not offer custom orders to be included in the next shipment because if the long lead-time.

improved tools and statistics

The very transatlantic shipping delays during this pandemic have forced us to often place a new order before the last one has arrived. It also means that more products are out of stock for a longer time until a shipment arrive.
So over the last few days we have improved our internal tools to better cope with both these situations.

Bugs

We are currently experiencing a known issue between the DHL module and the Amazon integration. This means that we have to create the postage for all Amazon orders manually.

Statistics

Statistics is everything.
It determines what we buy and thus how many new products and new product variations we can affort. It also means what products are popular enough to get an additional size or coloring.
Our sales statistics have already handled times when a product was not in stock for the sake of predicting the near future. However it only looked at a given strech of time. We have now improved it to look further into the past if a product was out of stock a lot.
Result:
This means we can spend our money more wisely and not order more stock then we need.

Overlaping orders

We have also added code to better track what orders manufacturers are currently working on, are currently in transit and how lead times are affected by the current pandemic.
Our tools now tell us not only how much of each product we have and we should have to cover the near future but also how many are already ordered and how long „the near future“ must actually be.
Result:
We can allow for customer toys more frequently. Even though we can’t make them arrive any faster, we can ask for customer variations to be ordered along more frequently and with less of a short time window.
