FAQ

European VAT

The Wolf and Owl store is registered for IOSS. This means that your order includes the VAT which we send back to Europe, so there should be no VAT charges due to you when the order arrives with you.

There should be no additional charges relating to your order.

Are the products ethically sourced and sustainable?

Yes, all of our products have been sourced from UK or European suppliers. 

We support small printing businesses that source their products from suppliers that are registered with International Standard Institutes such as WRAP, Fair Labour and Confidence in Textiles, SEDEX and follow the Ethical Trading Initiative code of conduct.

We are very conscious of ensuring we have minimal waste when it comes to our merchandise and we very rarely dispose of products.

We make small orders based on the sales rather than bulk ordering merchandise and items that we can't sell are recycled and reused through our UK based recycling partners or donated to shelters for the homeless. 

We are always working to improve the sustainability of our products and will never knowingly affiliate ourselves with brands that do not adhere to the standards mentioned above. 

 

Are the packaging materials recyclable?

In 2019, The Merch Store introduced 100% recycled mailing bags and reduced single use plastic in our packaging. In January 2020, The Merch Store pledged their commitment to eliminating single use plastic from packaging materials and all the items we have restocked in this time have zero single use plastic.
