Does apply to most of our markets. We have thus made the change for all our orders.

Did you make the change already? I would've loved to have ordered more before the new system.

The change is done.

I think I'd be interested in the suggested option to prepay associated taxes rather than get stung by the DHL handling fee.

For the UK I'd be looking at +20% for VAT, plus customs duty (2.5%) for orders over £135. For smaller orders a £17 handling fee for DHL would really bump up the costs.

Has anyone commissioned a raglan overcoat (balmacaan) from Lux? Alternatively @luxire do you have any photos of one that you have made?

Price increase for Norwegians if this new system comes into play:

For example a shirt:
100 eur+ 25% VAT+ 10,7% duties + DHL processing fee of 17.5 eur = 53% price increase.

Still, Luxire will be cheaper or on level with local and online competitors. The VAT advantage never was fair or really legally sound.

For alterations, we will document them accordingly. Double taxation will not make sense.

We are glad to pay the taxes in advance. We will be working with DHL to explore options.

If anyone has an thoughts about how it works, please PM us.

Herring shoes use DHL and offer VAT in advance with a 5 gbp fee.

How will this affect us who have pre-ordered but not yet finalized details? This reminded me I actually have a few black friday deals from last year awaiting confirmation of details

My last package was an old black friday order so you're probably looking at similar costs.

Nice! Made by replicating an existing piece?

Replicating first then doing some tweaking - no major changes

Is this the flat 30%? Because for Switzerland, that would indeed mean it's way too high. It's only 7.7% VAT, no duty or anything. To the best of my knowledge, most of the carriers allow you to properly tax per jurisdiction. Is this not available from DHL, would be surprised to be honest?


In any case, I am flabbergasted at the amount of people being annoyed that tax & duty evasion no longer works and blaming it on Luxire. Are people for real?

There will not be anything "flat". We will be using a system that will correctly calculate the taxes and duties.

Excellent news!

@luxire
I have a question about Luxire's size measurements.
The usual process goes like this:
1. When ordering, customers provide a photo of their bodies, or input measurements
2. Some back and forth emails occur, counseling about the size measurements
3. Luxire gives email saying 'this is the final measurements, can we proceed with this?'
My question is this:
Are only the final measurements' numbers informed to the tailor?
So, are the final measurements' numbers all that matter after all?
For example, let's say I gave Luxire my body image. And after 2 and 3 (mentioned above), Luxire gives their tailor only the final measurements numbers, not my body images? Because my body image is already considered into the final measurements?

In other words, situation 1 or situation 2?
(Of course pleats style, pocket style, cuff style, or something like that would be informed to tailor, but what I'm focusing on is just size-wise)

The reason I'm asking this question is this:
I'm considering placing new orders, but I'm wondering it would be sufficient to give them (Luxire) the last order's final measurements with small number adjustment this time.
Or should I give them a kind of context about how I and Luxire reached (concluded) the last time's final measurement?

Could anyone kindly give me an image of "NEAPOLITAN SIDE METAL ADJUSTER ON WAIST SEAM WAISTBAND"?
It is one option in Luxire, but I can't find any information about that. From what I see on the Luxire's site, I can't tell the difference between it and "SIDE METAL ADJUSTERS ON WAIST SEAM".
