Question 1

Will my order ship from Europe, China, or the US?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the store and your location. AliExpress usually ships from China (10-30 days) but sometimes offers local warehouses. DHgate for products we list almost always ships from EU warehouses (3-7 days to Europe). Geekbuying often has EU and US warehouse options. Amazon ships domestically in most cases. Check shipping options on each product page before ordering.

Question 2

Are there additional costs (VAT, customs, duties)?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: VAT always applies, but is usually already included at checkout. Customs duty depends on the product.🏭 From EU warehouses (Geekbuying EU, DHgate EU, Amazon.de)Everything included — no extra costs.📦 From China — orders up to €150VAT is already included at checkout via the IOSS system (used by AliExpress, Banggood, DHgate, Geekbuying). Package clears customs automatically — nothing to pay on delivery.📦 From China — orders over €150IOSS does not cover orders over €150. VAT is collected by the carrier (DHL, PostNL, local post) upon delivery + carrier handling fee (€5-15). Customs duty depends on the product type (0% for IT equipment, see below).US buyers: Orders under $800 — no customs duties or taxes. Over $800 — may be subject to import duties.Note: From July 2026, the EU will remove the €150 customs duty exemption and introduce a flat €3 fee per parcel. This does not affect IT equipment (already 0% duty).
