Can’t believe the vanishing spray gimmick is still going strong

Just seen Almiron move the vanishing spray line and it made me think how long it’s been in the game - must be over a decade now. I remember all the discourse about it when it happened. thought it would’ve lasted 2 seasons max

Those selling into the EU, was is your current setup for collecting duties after the indtroduction of the 3 Euro fee

We currently have IOSS set up which is easy enought but with the new 3 euro duties to be collected we have to find a new workaround for collecting and paying them. We have currently added it to the shipping price to collect and use Royal Mail click and drop who provide the options:

  • Pay all taxes, duties & fees via Click & Drop/OBA account = PDDP/DDP
  • Recipient pays all duties, taxes and fees = DDU_DAP
  • Taxes prepaid via IOSS, duties and fees paid via Click & Drop/OBA account = IOSS_DDP
  • Taxes paid via IOSS, duties and fees paid by recipient = IOSS_DDU

Was wondering how all of you are currently shipping to collect and pay the right amount of tax adn duties and if all couriers are offering something similar to Royal Mail

Is there actually anything worthwhile in this Shopify Spring Update?

Just seems like a load of useless UI and UX changes that add more clicks and a lot of stuff trying to push their AI features

Shipping to EU has become such a hassle

Before it was just IOSS, which is more work but understandable and fairly simple once set up, but it's crazy that you have to do this through a 3rd party rather than Shopify having their own integration.

Now, between the EU Withdrawl Button (not provided by Shopify for Regular Plan), 3 Euro duties for EACH item and GSPR regulations which aren't even checked by customs, it's just becoming a lot more hassle than its worth to ship from the UK into the EU. Even if you use a 3PL, you still have to deal with these things as theyre on Shopify's end.

How have you handled the 3 Euro customs charge for shipments into the EU

How are you passing this onto the customer? We currently have IOSS set up so now sure the best way to integrate and add a 3 euro flat charge to the customer as Markets are already used for our IOSS setup

Lack of elite strikers is really apparent at this World Cup

Compare this World Cup to one like 2010 where the amount of elite strikers was endless and it really shows how lacking current is in proper number 9’s and after Kane and Lewa retire, it will basically just be Haaland.

The 2010 WC had Van Persie, Rooney, Forlan, Villa, Klose, Suarez, Tevez, Cavani, Falcao, Eto’o, Henry, Chicharito, Aguero, Gomez, Drogba, Torres. list goes on and on.

At that time, even players like Dzeko and Mandzukic were thought of as very good but not World Class, when they’d easily be top 5 itw at their peak in today’s game

Payment on account (different amounts)

I have my first payment on account due on July 31 (around £1000) but I can see the actual overdue amount is double the amount due on July 31. Will I be charged interested if I don’t pay the full amount by July 31 or do I just have to pay the “next payment due” amount?

Still trying to get my head around the payments on account.

Those who moved e-commerce fulfilment to a 3PL - how do you find a fulfilment centre and how is it going?

Clothing brand owner, currently fulfilling by myself in house but it's got to a point now where I have no time to do anything else, along with tariffs, Royal Mail and General Shipping being a massive hassle. I'd like to outsource to a 3PL but not sure where I'd find one that suits us (ideally a smaller, family run operation) outside of just google searching or a couple of comparison websites. Would love any thoughts for those who moved over to a 3PL.

Currently at a stage where fulfilment is a massive hassle as a sole director/employee due to my clothing brand scaling. I have been considering outsourcing fulfilment to a 3PL rather than employing someone due to the hassle and prices of Royal Mail (increased prices, surchages and not receiving any of our mailing supplies), dealing with duties (U.S. tariffs, IOSS, amd imports) and need for a bigger commercial space.

For those of you who have moved from in house to a 3PL, how did you find one right for you and how has the experience been? Also open to any recommendations

I am the sole director of an LTD ecommerce company. Whilst I carry out running the actual business just fine, I have found anything accounting related to be an actual ADHD Tax and at times have become completly dehabilitating. I do have an accountant however I still have penalties for late submissions of VAT returns and self assessment as well as things like forgetting to declare my BIK. I thought having an accountant would make all of this much easier but I still feel responsible for a lot (bookeeping, uploading documents, import duties) and its taking a massive toll which sounds so stupid because in reality it's just simple things compared to the high pressure of actually running the business and weirdly i'm quite good at managing actual finances, its just taxes that have become overwhelming e.g. I leave my VAT return to literally the last minute to upload everything. I am thinking about telling HMRC about my ADHD to see if penalties can be mitigated but even getting through to them is a hassle and the website its a minefield. Ideally I would never have to see a tax document again but I know that's not feasible.Any other business owners feeling trapped when it comes to taxes and any tips?
