EU Customs Charges for UK Retailers – Everything Dinosaur Is Ready for the Changes

By |2026-07-01T10:13:55+01:00July 1st, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

From today, 1st July 2026, new EU customs charges for UK retailers came into effect following the removal of the European Union’s long-standing customs duty exemption on consignments valued at €150 or less. Although these changes affect businesses exporting to the EU, Everything Dinosaur has already updated its shipping procedures to help ensure ordering remains straightforward for our customers.

These new customs charges do not apply solely to UK retailers. They affect every retailer based outside the European Union that exports eligible consignments into EU member states. This includes businesses in countries such as the United States, China, Canada, India, Australia and Japan.

The new duty applies to imports from all non-EU countries, regardless of where the seller is established.

Everything Dinosaur recognised these changes well in advance and updated its shipping procedures before the new legislation came into force, helping to ensure a smooth purchasing experience for our European customers.

Preparing for the EU Customs Charges for UK Retailers

To prepare for the new regulations, we have added a small fee to our handling charge for deliveries to the 27 EU member states. This reflects the new fixed €3 customs duty that now applies to eligible consignments entering the European Union.

International shipping regulations continue to evolve. Therefore, we closely monitor changes to customs legislation, import requirements and delivery procedures. Consequently, we can adapt our systems quickly and provide customers with accurate information before new rules take effect.

To read a blog post about the new EU customs charges: Everything Dinosaur Ready for EU De Minimis Changes.

We have also updated our shipping information and our Frequently Asked Questions page to explain the latest requirements. Furthermore, our experienced team is always happy to answer questions about international deliveries. Whether you are adding a new prehistoric animal model to your collection or purchasing a gift, we want you to order with complete confidence.

An Evolving Situation

Over the last twenty years or so, we have had to adjust our business practices to accommodate changes in legislation and changes to regulations.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The introduction of these new EU customs charges for UK retailers is another example of how international trade continues to evolve. We work hard to monitor regulatory changes and update our systems before they affect our customers. Our aim is to make ordering from Everything Dinosaur as simple as possible while continuing to provide the reliable service and award-winning customer support that collectors have come to expect.”

These EU customs charges for UK retailers represent another change for businesses exporting to Europe. However, careful planning and a proactive approach enable Everything Dinosaur to continue providing dependable worldwide shipping. We remain committed to excellent customer service, transparent pricing and helping collectors throughout the European Union enjoy a smooth and reliable shopping experience.

Everything Dinosaur Ready for the European Union De Minimis Changes

By |2026-06-30T22:19:13+01:00June 30th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

From tomorrow (1st July), new EU de minimis changes come into effect for parcels entering the European Union from countries outside the EU. Although the regulations have changed, Everything Dinosaur has been preparing for these new requirements for many months. As a result, our customers across Europe can continue to order with confidence.

The removal of the long-standing €150 customs duty exemption means that lower-value consignments including parcels sent into EU member states will now be subject to additional customs charges. These changes form part of a wider programme of customs reform designed to modernise the movement of goods into the European Union.

Planning Ahead for the EU De Minimis Changes

International ecommerce regulations continue to evolve. Therefore, our team constantly monitors changes that could affect our customers. We have updated our website and shipping procedures to reflect the new legal requirements. In addition, we continue to work closely with our logistics partners to help ensure that orders move through customs as smoothly as possible.

At Everything Dinosaur, compliance has always been an important part of our business. We have invested considerable time and resources to meet changing international regulations. Whether it involves product safety, environmental legislation or customs procedures, we believe in preparing well before new rules take effect.

Everything Dinosaur Supporting European Customers

Although these changes introduce additional costs when shipping into the European Union, Everything Dinosaur will continue to subsidise shipping wherever possible. We remain committed to providing competitive delivery charges whilst maintaining the high standard of service that our customers expect.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“International trading rules continue to change, but our commitment to our customers never does. We prepare well in advance for regulatory changes so that collectors can continue to enjoy a straightforward ordering experience. Our aim is to take care of the details, allowing customers to concentrate on adding outstanding prehistoric animal models to their collections.”

A Reputation Built on Trust

Everything Dinosaur has supplied prehistoric animal models to collectors, museums, schools and families around the world for over twenty years. During that time, we have earned a reputation for reliability, expert advice and exceptional customer service.

Our independently verified customer feedback reflects that commitment. Everything Dinosaur has achieved the prestigious Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award for six consecutive years, while customers consistently rate our service as “Exceptional”. These awards are based entirely on verified customer reviews, giving shoppers confidence that they are dealing with a trusted retailer.

As international regulations continue to develop, our focus remains unchanged. We will continue to adapt, invest and innovate so that customers throughout Europe receive the professional service they have come to expect from Everything Dinosaur.

Why Genuine Customer Reviews Matter to Everything Dinosaur

By |2026-06-14T08:36:31+01:00June 16th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

At Everything Dinosaur, we value honest customer feedback. Over the years, genuine customer reviews have helped us build trust with collectors, families and dinosaur enthusiasts around the world. Therefore, we take great care to ensure that customer opinions remain authentic.

Recently, our spam filter intercepted an unsolicited marketing email offering review-related services. The approach reminded us why genuine customer reviews are so important. As a result, we thought it would be helpful to explain our position.

Everything Dinosaur only posts up genuine customer reviews.

Building Trust Through Genuine Customer Reviews

Buying prehistoric animal models and fossils online requires confidence. Customers want accurate information, reliable service and products that meet their expectations. Fortunately, independent reviews help shoppers make informed decisions.

For this reason, we greatly appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave feedback. Whether a review is posted on Reviews.io, Feefo, Trustpilot or another platform, we believe customer comments should reflect real experiences.

Why Authentic Feedback Matters

Honest reviews benefit everyone. Firstly, they help potential customers understand what to expect. Secondly, they allow businesses to improve. In addition, genuine comments create transparency and accountability.

At Everything Dinosaur, we do not take trust for granted. Instead, we work hard to earn it every day. Our team strives to provide excellent customer service, and we welcome constructive feedback.

Sometimes, reviews highlight areas where we can improve. Although criticism can be difficult to receive, it often helps us deliver a better experience. Consequently, authentic feedback plays an important role in our continued development.

Putting Customers First

We know that many of our customers have supported us for years. Furthermore, many new collectors discover Everything Dinosaur through recommendations and independent reviews. That support means a great deal to us.

Trust takes time to establish. However, it can be lost quickly. Therefore, we remain committed to maintaining the high standards that our customers expect.

The internet offers many opportunities, but reputation should never be taken lightly. In our view, genuine customer reviews are far more valuable than anything money can buy.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their experiences. Your comments help other collectors, and they help us continue to improve. Most importantly, they have helped Everything Dinosaur build a reputation based on honesty, trust and excellent customer service.

Local Company Takes to Zoom to Reach International Audiences

By |2026-06-05T07:29:21+01:00June 7th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

A Middlewich-based company with customers around the world is preparing for its first international Zoom interview as part of a wider strategy to engage overseas audiences and support export growth. Everything Dinosaur, the award-winning prehistoric animal model specialist run by Mike and Sue will participate in a live online discussion with German-based broadcaster, palaeoartist and influencer Karim Zanaty later this month. The event will be streamed via Zoom and is expected to attract attendees from across Europe and beyond.

The interview marks an important milestone for the company as it continues to expand its international reach and strengthen relationships with customers in overseas markets.

International Collaboration Through Technology

The event highlights how modern communication platforms enable small and medium-sized businesses to collaborate effectively across borders.

Based in Middlewich, Cheshire, Everything Dinosaur has built a global reputation for supplying scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models and educational resources. The company regularly serves customers throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

By partnering with Karim Zanaty, founder of Extinct Fine Art and a recognised figure within the international palaeoart community, Everything Dinosaur is demonstrating how businesses can use digital technology to connect with specialist audiences regardless of geographical location. The Zoom interview will focus on the company’s new Everything Dinosaur Evolution range, a collection of museum-quality prehistoric animal figures developed in collaboration with scientists, artists and designers.

Supporting Export Growth

International engagement remains an important part of Everything Dinosaur’s business strategy. The company sees digital events as an effective way to build relationships with existing customers whilst introducing its products and expertise to new audiences.

The live discussion will provide an opportunity to showcase the company’s work to collectors, enthusiasts and educators across multiple countries. Furthermore, it supports the business’s ongoing efforts to increase export sales throughout Europe and other international markets.

As businesses continue to adapt to changing customer expectations, online events offer a cost-effective way to communicate directly with overseas audiences and strengthen brand awareness internationally.

Embracing Innovation

For Mike Walley, the event represents more than a simple interview. It demonstrates how embracing new technology can help businesses innovate and remain competitive.

Mike explained:

“We are delighted to be taking part in our first international Zoom interview. Digital platforms such as Zoom provide fantastic opportunities to engage directly with customers and enthusiasts across Europe and around the world. By embracing technology, we can reach a much wider audience, support our export ambitions and continue to innovate within our sector. International collaboration is becoming increasingly important for businesses of all sizes, and we are excited to share our story with a global audience.”

Building Connections Beyond Borders

The collaboration between Everything Dinosaur and Karim Zanaty demonstrates how businesses can use technology to overcome geographical barriers and create meaningful international partnerships.

As companies across the UK continue to explore export opportunities, digital communication tools are becoming increasingly valuable. They enable organisations to share expertise, promote products and develop relationships with customers in overseas markets without the need for extensive travel.

For Everything Dinosaur, this first international Zoom interview represents another step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, collaboration and export growth.

The live event takes place on 24th June and is free to attend.

Discussing Everything Dinosaur Evolution in an Exclusive Live Zoom Interview

By |2026-05-30T18:36:58+01:00May 31st, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

Mike from Everything Dinosaur will take part in a live Zoom interview next month. The event marks the first dedicated interview about the new Everything Dinosaur Evolution range.

Hosted by palaeoartist Karim Zanaty of Extinct Fine Art, the online discussion will explore the inspiration behind the project. In addition, attendees will learn more about the development of the figures and the future plans for the range.

The event takes place on 24th June at 4:00 pm UTC (5pm BST, noon EDT).

Discussing the Everything Dinosaur Evolution Project

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution range represents an exciting new chapter for the company. For more than twenty years, Everything Dinosaur has helped enthusiasts, collectors and educators access scientifically accurate prehistoric animal models. However, the Evolution project takes this commitment a step further. The aim is to create museum-quality prehistoric animal figures that combine scientific accuracy with exceptional craftsmanship.

The first figure in the range is a 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex. A team of scientists, artists and designers worked on the model. Furthermore, the project took more than three years to complete.

During the interview, Mike will explain how the team developed the figure. He will also discuss the importance of combining palaeontology and palaeoart when creating realistic prehistoric animal reconstructions.

Palaeontology and Palaeoart Connected

Accurate prehistoric animal models require both scientific research and artistic skill. Therefore, the interview will explore how these two disciplines work together. Palaeontologists provide evidence from fossils and scientific studies. Meanwhile, artists help transform that evidence into engaging visual reconstructions. As a result, collectors can enjoy figures that reflect current scientific understanding.

The discussion will also highlight the collaborative approach behind the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range. This co-operation has helped create a figure that captures both anatomical accuracy and visual appeal.

An Opportunity to Ask Questions

The Zoom event includes an open discussion and a live question-and-answer session. Consequently, attendees will have the opportunity to ask Mike about the Evolution range and the development process.

Questions about model design, scientific research and future releases will be welcome. In addition, participants can learn more about the challenges involved in creating museum-quality prehistoric animal figures.

The event is free to attend. However, visitors can make an optional donation to support the project if they wish.

It is true!  Sue speaking at DinoCon 2026!  We teased this on social media and today we can confirm that Sue Judd from Everything Dinosaur will be presenting at this year’s DinoCon. Her presentation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the company’s first in-house dinosaur model.

The talk is titled “It Takes a Team to Build a T. rex“. It takes place at 10am on Saturday 25th July in the Library Room at DinoCon. The DinoCon event is being held over the weekend of 25th and 26th July at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel (Birmingham, England).

For Sue, this event marks a special milestone. It will be her first public presentation at DinoCon. Indeed, it is her first time presenting about dinosaurs. As a result, visitors can expect a personal and honest account of the challenges behind designing a scientifically accurate dinosaur model.

Sue Speaking at DinoCon

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution Tyrannosaurus rex model took more than three years to develop. However, the project involved much more than sculpting a prehistoric animal. The development team brought together palaeontologists, artists, digital designers and model collectors. Furthermore, the project explored sustainability goals, innovative manufacturing methods and new digital technologies.

Sue’s talk explains how these different skills combined to create the final model. In addition, she will discuss how the lessons learned are helping shape the forthcoming Triceratops figure.

Collectors and dinosaur fans often see only the finished model. However, this presentation reveals the planning, collaboration and problem-solving behind the scenes.

Unique Insight into Dinosaur Model Design

This DinoCon presentation focuses on the people behind the project as much as the prehistoric animal itself. Consequently, visitors will hear how a small UK-based company developed an ambitious museum-quality figure range.  It is an astonishing project.  Aiming to change the world one dinosaur model at a time.

Sue will discuss the inspiration behind Everything Dinosaur Evolution and the importance of following the fossil record. In addition, this presentation will provide unique insights into the company’s collaborative work with palaeoartists and designers.  There will even be time for some questions too.

Building the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex

The Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex became the company’s first in-house prehistoric animal model. The figure was developed with support from experienced palaeoartists and digital sculptors. Additionally, the project reflected Everything Dinosaur’s commitment to responsible manufacturing and long-term sustainability goals. The development process also highlighted the importance of community involvement. Feedback from collectors helped influence several stages of the project.  Indeed, this process is on-going and suggestions about which models to make next are welcome.

As a result, the award-winning 1:33 scale Tyrannosaurus rex model combined scientific research with practical design experience.

Visit DinoCon This July (2026)

DinoCon continues to grow as one of the UK’s most exciting dinosaur-themed events. The convention attracts collectors, families, artists and prehistoric animal enthusiasts from across the country. Therefore, Sue speaking at DinoCon provides visitors with an opportunity to learn more about the creative process behind prehistoric animal model development.

Sue commented that she was excited to have been approached about speaking at this prestigious event and added:

“I’m thrilled to speak at DinoCon and share how our team turned an idea into the Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex. This presentation celebrates collaboration, creativity and our commitment to building scientifically accurate dinosaur models inspired by the fossil record.  Moreover, I can provide exclusive insights into our new Triceratops.”

AI Platforms Provide Extremely Positive Reviews for Everything Dinosaur

By |2026-04-08T09:56:22+01:00April 7th, 2026|Categories: Everything Dinosaur News and Updates|0 Comments

Have you ever wondered what ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity actually say about you?  In the fast-moving online world rapidly becoming dominated by artificial intelligence (AI) companies are having to navigate a new digital environment.  For example, for us at Everything Dinosaur, our website’s position in search engine queries is increasingly influenced by concepts such as AI optimisation (AIO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO).  Two more acronyms that we have to get used to.  Interestingly, AI insights for Everything Dinosaur yield extremely positive results.

But what do they mean?

  • AIO – AI Optimisation is our website structured in such a way so that AI agents can easily understand its content and navigate around it?
  • GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation is our website designed to have content cited as a reference in generative AI results?

AI Insights for Everything Dinosaur

This is all rather confusing to someone who would rather be looking at dinosaur models all day.  However, our reputation for customer service and our dedication to our customers seems to be putting Everything Dinosaur into a favourable position when it comes to how AI views us and our business.

For example, we were recently invited by Yoast, a European based search engine optimisation company to take part in an exercise to reveal how AI agents viewed our brand.  Intrigued, we submitted some basic information about us and the team at Yoast set about checking how leading AI platforms view Everything Dinosaur. In turn, these platforms help populate search queries.

The examination reveals overwhelmingly positive AI insights for Everything Dinosaur. In the analysis we scored 100% for our brand sentiment.

Reassuring for Customers

We might be living in an increasingly AI dominated world.  However, we remain true to our values.  For example, whilst we acknowledge the importance of making our websites AI friendly our priority remains keeping our sites easy to use for people.  As a company, we continue to receive high praise from customers.  We have thousands of Feefo and Google customer reviews.  New reviews are posted nearly every day.  Furthermore, we continue to retain a rating of “Exceptional”.

Sue from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is pleasing to note the brand sentiment results following a trawl through AI platforms.  However, we remain committed to helping our customers and supporting them.  Whilst we recognise the importance of AI, helping people is the core element of our business.  After all, we are model collectors too.”
