Speedy and excellent service! I ordered a pair of shoes and was advised to pick half a size bigger which I did and the shoes fit perfectly.

They deducted import duty and VAT for goods I did not receive and which were returned to them

I bought a pair of Paraboot Cafe Lise shoes for 370 euro on the 3rd December which was promptly dispatched via DHL. I was fully expecting to pay duty on the shoes but not the £132 which DHL requested on the 7th Dec before delivery was made. This request would have taken the cost to over £440, which I simply could not condone. I immediately notified the shipper that I would decline the shipment and ask for it to be returned. Before returning the shoes, DHL confirmed that I would not be liable for duty and VAT because these were duties charged by HMRC for shipments imported into the UK. I would not be liable if the package was returned to the origin. DHL attached a form which the shipper needed to complete (for the attention of DHL Italy) by attaching proof of export (to the UK) to waive off taxes on receipt of the package. I also sent this copy directly to the shipper (Cappelletto). I called and wrote to DHL numerous times (with Cappelletto in copy) to ensure that the shoes which I did not actually receive would be returned without incurring further charges. To my surprise, after receiving the shoes, Cappelletto refunded 199 euro of the 370 I paid, claiming that they had paid tax (owed to HMRC) in Italy. DHL UK could not verify this payment and wondered why it could have been paid and after giving the shipper sufficient time to address this, I chose to leave this negative feedback. Cappelleto has no satisfactory process for dealing with goods which customers have declined to receive. The online experience is ok but it does not alert the buyer to the prospect of needing to pay Duty and Taxes of a certain quantum based on their experience of shipping goods of a particular value, to say the UK, which they claim to have sold 47 orders since Brexit. Since there is no clear warning at the point of purchase, Cappelletto should check with the buyer before shipment to confirm that they are content with paying taxes which could amount to £132 based on their experience of selling Paraboot shoes. Crucially, it does not appear that Cappelletto filled in the form provided by DHL for waiving taxes for returned items and I am particularly disappointed with the shippers attempt to deflect blame by pointing to policies on their websites. How many of us would be happy to pay taxes for returned goods which they did not physically receive? Those contemplating buying from this store from outside the EU need to avoid returning goods for any reason as they are likely to be stung with duty and taxes and consequently waste too much too time trying to get the issue resolved.

Dear Madam, We reply to your review to show our point of view to our future UK customers.
First of all, we do not agree with the title of your review. Indeed it should say "they deducted import duty for an order I reject to receive and which returned to them". As you are writing right away you were surprised by the cost of duties applied by the UK Customs but I think since the implementation of Brexit regulations in Jan 2021, already many of your citizens are aware of paying duties on orders coming from the EU Countries. CappellettoShop is not responsible for the percentage that the UK Government applied to orders made by UK customers from EU Countries, as clearly explained in our Policy.
Being that you did not agree with the payment asked by DHL UK you rejected the order.
DHL UK advised you that you were not asked to pay any duties if you won't receive the goods. This is true. But to deliver the order back to Italy we were asked to pay the duties for the package. And we did not have any other chance as DHL Italy Custom Service fully explained to us and we fully reported to you.
If we did not accept to pay the duties for the shipment back to Italy, you won't be refund at all and the package would have been destroied by DHL.
After this episode we will double advise those UK clients who will purchase from our website.
We remind you that proceeding with an order on our website you agree with our policy where it is clearly written: "By placing an order on CappellettoShop, the user accepts the possibility that the products are subject to customs, postal, transport and import duties in the user's country of residence and that these taxes are independent of Cappelletto's control".
Finally we wanted to underline that your Trustpilot reviews are only for your bad experiences. We encourage you to send also 4-5 stars to the web sites where you did have a good experience. Other wise it look like you use it for intimidate people and make money at their expense.

Amazing product, speedy delivery

As an Italian expat, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Cappelletto, a store where I shop every time I return to Italy, ships overseas. I ordered a pair of boots that were delivered all the way to Alaska in a perfect package in five days. The customer service on line is impeccable, exactly like the one I am used to receive when I visit the store.
5 stars are not enough!
