We’ve ensured that we’re able to provide the same great service as we did prior to Brexit. All parcels sent to EU Mainland (including Ireland) will be sent DDP (Duty Paid).
This means that all VAT, import tax, and any customs charges are all being paid by us. There will be absolutely no difference in charges from before Brexit, to now.
The price shown on our website for your order is all you will have to pay.
All taxes and duties are included in the price for any order shipped to mainland EU. (Including Ireland)
If you place an order for delivery outside of the EU, there may be import duties and taxes to pay to get your parcel as determined by local customs.
Please note, we are not liable for any local or import taxes for orders outside of the EU.
We’ve Insured that we’re able to provide the same great service as we did prior to Brexit by becoming a member of the VOEC Scheme. Therefore there will be no taxes or customs to pay providing you do not exceed the below limit.
There is a limit of 3000kr per item.
Any single items purchased over this value may be subject to duty charges upon delivery by the courier.
We don't have the facility to provide you with a VOEC number or an invoice displaying the VAT, we provide this to our courier and they will provide these details to PostNord upon the parcel's arrival in Norway.

We have recently changed the way that we process items returned to us for an exchange to make it as slick as possible and help you get the right item before it sells out! Instead of waiting for the item to come back to us to be processed, we will process your exchange when the courier confirms that they have the returned parcel in their possession meaning that you get your exchanged item up to 5 days quicker in busy periods!
Arrange your return by clicking on the blue "Arrange Your Return" box below.
We understand that sometimes you'll need to return items to us and we've made this easy, fast and simple.
We want you to love our products as much as we do, so if it doesn’t fit, you’ve had a change of heart, if it’s faulty or you just aren’t feeling it. No worries! We believe returns should be easy.
We'll exchange or refund all items which:
Are returned to us within 100 days of receipt. (The 100 days begins from the day your first order is delivered)
Are returned to us in perfect condition, with their original packaging and with the labels attached.
Please note:
Footwear should be tried on a clean, soft surface to avoid scuffing the soles. Any unclean or scuffed items will be returned to you.
Clothing must be returned in an unworn, fragrance-free condition with labels attached. Any marked items or that smell of fragrance will be returned to you.
If we receive your return in an unsatisfactory condition we reserve the right to return the product back to you.
If you receive an imperfect item please contact us on customerservice@sportsshoes.com.
If you wear the item or attempt to repair it your warranty will be voided meaning your product can no longer be returned.
For health and hygiene reasons, we are unable to accept the return of underwear and swimwear that has been worn.
