WE’RE OPENING EU SHIPPING. 🇪🇺📦

YOU THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING BY THE RULES?

F**K THE SYSTEM. WE’RE OPENING EU SHIPPING. 🇪🇺📦

You’ve probably noticed that a lot of small shops recently stopped shipping to the EU because of the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. These rules have been called short-sighted, impractical, unfair to small businesses, and downright anti-EU in their consequences for cross-border e-commerce.

But jokes on you, EU. We were always one step ahead of you:

WE WEREN’T EVEN SHIPPING TO THE EU IN THE FIRST PLACE.

So, booyah. Got you. 😎

And that forward-thinking, cocky attitude of ours is exactly why we’re opening EU shipping for the VERY FIRST TIME.
RIGHT. NOW.

Because someone’s gotta be brave enough to take the first step, right?

Although, let’s be honest: it’s a lot easier to be brave when there’s a pretty good chance you won’t actually get punished for it.

BUT ENOUGH BEATING AROUND THE BUSH.

There’s news. And we need you to share it with your favourite small shops.

HERE’S WHAT’S GOING ON:

Today, the European Parliament backed exempting micro and small businesses from the requirement to appoint an authorised representative in every EU country they ship to.

The rules themselves haven’t disappeared, and the final legislative process still matters. But the European Commission has called on member states to take a pragmatic approach and refrain from sanctioning businesses while the proposed changes are being examined.

In Germany, the current transition means no penalties for these violations until 12 February 2027.

In other words: there’s finally some breathing room for the little guys.

And while bureaucracy figures itself out, we’re taking the leap.

EU SHIPPING IS OPEN. FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Small business. Big middle finger to unnecessary bureaucracy.

LET’S REUNITE THE EU MARKET AFTER THESE LONESOME MONTHS . ✊🇪🇺
