Winderen’s website offers shipping to the UK but due to brexit the price doesn’t include taxes which will have to be paid on collection here I assume. I like the look of their half pads & cooler rug, but ordering without knowing the taxes seems like rolling the dice. Has anyone ordered from them? What was the customs cost?
TIA 🍪

Use this calculator
I would if only my brain was just a bit less rubbish 😅
Customs is vat plus tariff, generally 2% on tack and equipment, plus a handling charge.
Ty, it’s looking expensive. Might hold off till my next visit to the EU lol

If you were to order the rug and get a different pad then there's a chance each may come under the £130 upper limit to.avoid extra charges? There is a new French pad with d3o in it, imo even better than the Poron XRD in the Winderen. If you can't find it let me know, I'm sure I have liked it on FB but would need to dig.

Oh there’s another d3o one? I was searching but could only find a couple of places that do saddle pads with d3o, but no half pads. If you can remember the name or anything that would be amazing 🤩

Found it https://www.facebook.com/lamortisseur.orange

The only numnah/square that I know of with d3o inserts has some design issues IMO, the pockets are stretchy and the shims can move and overlap, and the pockets are set too low so the channel between them is massive, about 6" or more iirc which isn't going to work well under a saddle.
