tried to buy literally one t-shirt from Vertice London.
Shipping = 35 pounds + 8.95 for handling charge.
Um sorry that is literally fucking highway robbery. I understand face to face service but this is too much to believe for boxing and shipping garment.

They deduct for VAT and some of the pieces I was looking at were very reasonably priced.
they only ship to your billing address for your first two shipments and as stated above the shipping charge is outrageous enough. The slap in the face nearly 9 pounds "handling fee" is beyond anything I've seen on the internet.
Just to see I added a sweatshirt. Shipping became 45 with 23 for handling.
Think about that : $106 US Dollars to deliver a sweatshirt and t-shirt from UK to California. I won't even bother looking at this site anymore.

In their defense, vertice doesn't seem to be high-volume business like Mr Porter or revolve/forward. Businesses that offer free shipping likely have a much higher profit margin. While vertice is also looking to up their bottom line, they might have to account for the time their employees spend shipping orders if they have a smaller staff. Someone can chime in if they have more knowledge but I'm guessing larger business like porter probably have a special discount/relationship with the likes of fedex or UPS.
Then again, I have always heard good things about Ink and they seem to be of a comparable size. Something to do with the difference between laws and customs of the EU/UK and Hong Kong?

there are LOTS of stores in the UK that ship internationally. Lots. Oki-ni, LN-CC, Hostem, Pollyanna e.t.c.
Nobody here is asking for free shipping as we all understand that shipping is NEVER FREE and the company really shouldn't be absorbing these costs, but for example, I recently bought some basics from Oki-ni and the shipping was 15 pounds. I ordered from Pollyanna way earlier this year and shipping was 18.77 pounds. Pretty close as it should be since both are UK operations. 44 pounds is not even close to 15-20 pounds. Not even close. And that's for 1 item from Vertice..
Actually, it's kinda laughable tbh. Sadly, another store on the DNS list..

shipping prices vary and they might use a courier that is more expensive. the "handling" charge is pretty ridicilous as I assume they don't charge a handling fee when they fetch sizes for customers instore, or bag their items. then again, the leven of service in the store is pretty appalling to begin with, so maybe its a premium you pay for not having to deal with them face to face."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.
