Hi BrickLink!

Following and having read tens of posts about this, with no clear reply...

One of our Shipping method (La Poste Delivengo) requires an EORI number to
ship to UK
.

This isn't the VAT-ID you provide in your "Your LEGO® BrickLink VAT invoice
UKxxxxx" PDF.

The VAT-ID is as GB+9 numbers, while EORI is GB+12/15 numbers.
I tested it here, and it's not valid as an EORI:
https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-eori-number

While SylvainLS wrote in Forum:
"EORI is for sellers who sell to EU on their own, not through a marketplace
like BL."


... maybe, but how La Poste would see it's BrickLink who takes care of the
VAT if I don't give them BrickLink's EORI number?

In short - please provide the EORI number in those documents, or/and in Help,
or even as a PM


For maybe a year it's mandatory I lose 5 to 10€ for each shipping
as I've to use a more expensive Shipping Method (La Poste Colissimo International)
instead, which doesn't - for now - requests specifically an EORI number.

Theorically it's required for any Shipping Method:

Thank you!

Hmm, I’m not sure I meant it as it sounds now.  I may simply have been wrong
at the time too

This message: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1406878 is more complete
and that’s still how I understand it.

Anyway, BrickLink is not importing or exporting anything from the EU to the UK,
you are.
So it’s either La Poste or you who should have an EORI.  Still not BrickLink.

To support the previous paragraph, I would quote a wise man who wrote on the
forum too:
“You're a grand'ma sending a gift, you go to the post office, they'll
help you to fill the gift thing.

Otherwise, you're a _exporter_, dot.”

Too bad, there’s nothing about EORI in the mentioned uk.gov page

And, AFAICT, their pages about EORI don’t talk about marketplaces.

Confusing.

We've got our solution, please publish BrickOwl EORI number?
Don't worry, I'll say it's your fault if I'm arrested.

Erm - yes maybe, but then if we've an EORI, I understood we've to pay
them the VAT (we don't have), wouldn't we?

In other words, BrickLink cashes the VAT, so it should be BrickLink EORI?

It's really not clear and Help page doesn't... help: there isn't
a single EORI mention there.

Hi Team!

I know it's weekend, and you're on many other complicated things...

But please this is still a problem for shipping to UK.
Thank you.
