We should be screaming about this. I can no longer order from a company in Spain I stocked only last year. One of thousands of EU companies that will ship to every country in the world EXCEPT the UK because the govt has made it so impossible. #brexshit#BrexitDisaster#Brexit
To be clear, I can't stock what I stocked in my shop last year. Local customers losing out. You can't buy directly online anymore either. The things I can stock are now more expensive. British brands have significantly hiked prices because importing materials more expensive.
No person in this country who buys anything at all is a winner. Everyone is a loser in this. Shop owners lives have been made miserable with forms and red tape, and everything is more expensive when we can least afford it because of Covid shop closures.
And finally, support you local independent shops. They need you, and you need them. Between Brexit & Covid, this is the most challenging time they have ever faced. Shop independent online. I'd promote my own online shop but honestly, go shop local and keep your town vibrant.
