Christmas 2024 Postage cut off Dates
Sadly, due to new legislation changes, Scale 3D is no longer in a position to sell physical miniatures to the EU. The new legislation is complicated and currently somewhat unclear, and until we have complete clarity on what exactly we need to do to comply, we will be removing the EU and NI Marketplace from our webstore for the time being.
Effective from December 13, 2024, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) aims to ensure the sale of safe products to buyers in the European Union (EU) and Northern Ireland (NI). This regulation applies to both new and second-hand products sold in these markets, and it introduces specific requirements for businesses regarding product safety information.
