Big news! Arktis is moving our warehouse to Northern Ireland. Shipments will be on hold from March 28th to April 11th while we transition. We know this might be a slight inconvenience, so as a thank you for your patience, we’ll include free stickers in every order placed during this period.
This is just for the warehouse - Arktis HQ is staying right where it is. Keep sending your returns as normal.
But why are we making this move? Simple – shipping from Northern Ireland gives us (and you) a big advantage!
Faster, Smoother Shipping to Europe
Northern Ireland also enjoys frictionless trade with the EU as part of the UK customs territory. This means:
No customs declarations or duties on goods moving between NI and the EU.
Fewer delays and smoother shipping to our European customers.
For those of you ordering from Europe, this means less hassle, fewer fees, and quicker delivery times compared to shipping from mainland UK.
No Brexit-Related Shipping Headaches 📦
Since Brexit, many UK businesses have faced increased costs and customs red tape when shipping to Europe. Not us! By moving our warehouse to NI, we can:
- Avoid extra customs paperwork when shipping to the EU.
- Reduce unexpected duties and VAT charges for EU customers.
- Get our gear to you faster and more efficiently.
Still Seamless Shipping to the UK & Beyond
If you’re in England, Scotland, or Wales, don’t worry—nothing changes. Goods move freely between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, meaning your orders will ship as smoothly as before.
For our US, Australia, and beyond customers, we’re still operating under UK international trade agreements, so global shipping remains just as reliable.
The Bottom Line
By moving to Northern Ireland, we’re making it easier, faster, and cheaper to ship Arktis gear worldwide—especially to our European customers. It’s a win-win for everyone!
We appreciate your patience during the move, and we’ll be back to normal shipping from April 12th. In the meantime, enjoy some free stickers with every order!
Thanks for your support,
The Arktis Team
