How are taxes applied for webshop orders?

For webshop orders, taxes are applied by inputting the VAT number into the shopping cart before proceeding to checkout. The validity of the VAT number is verified, and the correct taxes are calculated based on the shipping address and the laws governing intra-community supply in the "shipping" step of the checkout.

What is intra-community supply?

Intra-Community supply is a term used in the European Union (EU) to refer to the supply of goods from one EU member state to another. In this context, the supplier and the customer are both based in different EU member states, and the goods are being transported from one EU country to another. An intra-Community supply is considered to be a domestic transaction within the EU and is subject to the VAT rules of the EU member state where the goods are supplied. The supplier must charge VAT in the country of supply, but can also reclaim the VAT charged in the country of destination, provided that the customer is VAT-registered in that country.

Packaging

Are your awards supplied in a presentation box?

The supply of a presentation box is available as an option. If you're interested in adding this extra touch to your bespoke awards, simply let us know and we will include it in your custom quote.

Timing

How should I plan for a set event date?

To ensure that you have your trophy in time for your event, it's essential to start planning ahead. We recommend to start thinking about your trophy at least 2 months before the event date. This will give us enough time to design and create a bespoke trophy for you, as our process typically takes around 6 weeks. If you have less than 6 weeks until your event, our customizable webshop products may be a more suitable option for you, as they can be produced within 10 to 15 days of your online design. When planning, be sure to also consider shipping time to your location.

What is your lead time for delivery?

The lead time for delivery of custom awards depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the design. For orders placed through our webshop, the design process can be completed in a few clicks and takes 2-3 weeks for production. For bespoke products, we can provide a first design proposal within 5 business days, and after incorporating any necessary changes based on your feedback, it takes an average of 3-4 weeks for production.

How long upfront should I order an award?

We recommend starting to think about your award at least 2 months before your event. This allows us to have enough time to design and create your bespoke award to your specific requirements. For those with less time, our customizable webshop products are a great solution and can be shipped within 10 to 15 days.

Other

What material can my award be made from?

Awards can be made from a range of materials, including 3D printed polyamid, metal, natural oak wood, plexi glass, and acrylic. Our team will help you choose the best material for your award based on your specific requirements.

Can you help promote my event?

We would be happy to help promote your event! Please contact us to discuss the various options available.

Will I see a final design before production starts?

Before we commence production, you will receive a digital mockup of the award design for your review and approval. This gives you an opportunity to make any desired changes or modifications to ensure that the final product meets your expectations to the fullest. The digital mockup serves as your final check and approval before we begin manufacturing.

What countries do you ship to?

Our company works in partnership with UPS for international shipping. UPS has a broad reach, with a presence in over 220 countries and territories, allowing us to serve customers in all of the world's major economies, as well as many emerging markets. However, please note that we reserve the right to cancel or refuse an order based on political situations or other factors.
