New EU Delivery Fees Hit Shoppers | Cork News

Starting July 1st, EU shoppers face new customs fees on orders from outside the bloc—three euros per item, plus VAT, even if you return the goods. This UK-imposed rule affects all EU countries except Ireland, thanks to the Windsor Framework. Whether you ordered before July 1st or not, if it arrives after, you pay. Fast fashion shoppers hit hardest: two items = two fees. Critics warn it’s a financial squeeze for families already struggling. Big retailers will charge upfront; smaller sellers may require payment before delivery. And beware—scammers are exploiting the chaos with fake texts demanding payments. Never pay fees to Revenue or An Post via links. Stay alert, don’t click, don’t share banking details.
