Just a psa if you are thinking of using Funky pigeon for valentines or anything else. I got stung with the new customs charge. The fee was more than the card and shipping 🤣

  1. Fairly scummy, having things priced in Euros, and then finding out it’s actually in the UK

  2. For an .ie site that is horrible.

    Should be upfront if there is additional Brexit charges.

  5. Thanks for the advice. I was going to buy my wife a gift from them… I guess I’ll have to search for something else.

  6. Once had this with a very scummy website that had .ie domain, but sent their products from the US. Refused the package and asked for full refund. They of course said that they would’ve paid for the customs charges, but at that point it was a matter of principle. In my book it’s basically a scam to have an .ie domain and send products from elsewhere. Maybe except a British website who pays taxes upfront.

  7. It’s not .ie, It’s funkeypigeon.com/ie and their delivery information shows that everything is being sent by royal mail. They don’t mention customs at all for Irish or European deliveries which is terrible. It’s awful that we have to check everytime to make sure we’re not being scammed.
    Not defending them at all but at least they don’t have a .ie website.

  8. The cardfactory who are English bought them if I’m not mistaken. And all their stores in Ireland also get everything from the UK. Half the stuff is still priced in pounds. Bit shite you’re having to pay customs for a piece of cardboard, they’d want to cop on and have a stronger foot in the country.

    Anyway that’s my rant time to touch grass 😅
