Welcome to the EU Site of J.FitzPatrick
This page is dedicated to helping you understand the differences between our US website & company versus our EU website and company. While operating under the same name and ownership the companies are not intertwinable when it comes to stock and regulations and we wanted to be fully transparent in how it all works so you can understand how and where your purchase is coming from when you make an order. 
At present moment the EU website and company is set up as a dropship scenario where everything is currently on a PreOrder status. We have no stock here ready to ship but will rather put your order into production upon order. That means, when you plave your order it will take around 4 or 5 months to complete. In exchange we will offer a discount to make up for your waiting for your product. Each product will have explicit descriptions in its order status and time needed to wait to receive said product. In case the product is made available earlier than our quoted timeframe we will reach out to ensure your whereabouts prior to shipping out your goods. 
Please note under no circumstance can you make a purchase on our EU site and receive stock from our US website and company. Each company purchases it own stock and falls under taxation and regulations of their respective countries of company origin. 
When purchasing from the EU company it is subject to European VAT taxation. That means if you purchase from the EU website and you live within (or rather ship to an EU address) you will be charged VAT and your purchase will be sent within the Free Trade rules of the European Union. If you purchase on the EU website and ship to outisde of the EU your purchase will not include EU VAT and you will be held liable for import duty taxation and fees based on your countries current tax rate. These import duties and fees are not regulated by us nor do we gain any money from.said taxes and fees. This is what you pay as taxation for internarional product importation. 
If you prefer to purchase on our US website, where we do hold a ready to ship stock, please note that any purchases made from outside of the US are subject to your countries current import taxation and fees. Please familiarize yourself with your countries import fees prior to purchase. This can usually be found on your countries government website or with the duty calculator on DHL's website whom we use to ship internationally on our US website. 
For any questions or concerns you can always email us at info@jfitzpatrickfootwear.eu
As of June 2023, you can now shop from two different sites depending on your shipping address. 

EU CLIENTS

We recommend that customers living in the EU purchase from our .eu European site, as products purchased here will ship from within the EU and will therefore not incur import duties.

VAT is included in all product prices seen on the EU site.

Our add-ons and accessories are not available for purchase from our EU site, such as toe taps, shoe trees, and custom patina finishes. This is due to the fact that hardware add-ons and patinas are added locally near our New York store, and we do not yet maintain an inventory of shoe trees from our EU fulfillment center. All of these items may all still be ordered from our .com US site, but will ship from the US and will therefore incur import duties.

US CLIENTS

We recommend that customers living in the US purchase from our .com US site. All products purchased from this site will ship from our New York City boutique, and include options for hardware add-ons and accessories such as shoe trees. Each pair purchased on the US site will ship free within the US.

In case an item is out of stock on our US site, but is in stock on our EU site, you are of course welcome to purchase from our European inventory. However, shipping from our EU fulfillment center will not be free, and purchases of $800 or greater will incur import duties by US customs.
