Goodbye “surprise” fees: introducing full DDP service

All international orders placed on or after April 1, 2025 now use Delivered-Duty-Paid (DDP) service.

What it means: Any estimated VAT, GST, duties, or import taxes are pre-paid at checkout.

What you’ll owe on delivery: Nothing. Your parcel arrives as happily ever after as the books inside—no hidden fees, no door-phone ransom.

Why this took time (and why it was worth it)

EU regulatory changes forced us to pause European shipping in late 2024. We chose to rebuild our process from the ground up so that, when we returned, we could offer:

  • Transparent landed costs (DDP—done!)

  • Faster customs clearance and delivery times

  • Better tracking service

  • A roadmap to expand to as many EU/EEA countries as we can

Your patience allowed us to do it right instead of rushing a band-aid solution. We can’t thank you enough. đź’™

What’s next?

More countries, more often: We’ll publish updates as each new territory goes live.

Thank you for welcoming LitJoy back onto your shelves (and into your mailboxes). We can’t wait to ship your next adventure.

Joyfully yours,

The LitJoy Team
