Everything Dinosaur Helpful Advice for European Customers

By Mike|2024-04-24T21:58:09+01:00April 25th, 2024|Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Main Page, Press Releases|0 Comments

Team members at Everything Dinosaur are aware of delays in the European parcel network. A system error has led to some parcels being prevented from passing customs. This is due to a software error. We routinely monitor parcel movements for our customers. Delays in the European network were first observed on the 9th of April. Everything Dinosaur can assure customers that this problem has not been caused by us. The difficulties are associated with SimplyVAT and Irish Tax and Customs.

We are committed to keeping our customers informed. A press release was issued on the 13th of April. An update was sent out on the 18th of April. In addition, we have continued to lobby both SimplyVAT and the Irish Tax and Customs authority for progress reports.

To read our press release from the 13th of April: Update on European Parcels.

The update published on the 18th of April: Further Information About European Parcel Deliveries.

As a result, we have received an update from SimplyVAT.

“The Tax office have reached out with further positive indicators that the fix they have been testing is realigning their system with the EU Customs portal. We are very hopeful that a resolution is forthcoming as we are now just waiting for data from some custom declarations as the final confirmation. In the interim, in order to get your goods to your customers, please speak to your forwarder to ask them on your best options. We are putting all our resources into finding a resolution with the Irish tax authority and supporting our clients through this stressful time.”

Everything Dinosaur Being Proactive

Whilst we acknowledge the work being done to resolve this issue, team members have already set up a work around for parcel deliveries to customers in France and Ireland. Furthermore, a new route for parcels for customers in other European countries has been established.

Customers continue to be supported. A parcel monitoring service has been employed and those customers directly affected have been offered further support.

A media release has been issued explaining the current situation and the steps the company has taken.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Models Have Arrived at Everything Dinosaur

By Mike|2024-04-24T15:19:26+01:00April 24th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur has received its latest shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic models. Team members have been busy contacting customers who wanted to be kept informed about the delivery. The shipment contains tyrannosaur figures, more raptors and several different ceratopsians. Once the pallets had been unloaded and placed in the company’s delivery area, the process of checking the inventory commenced. After all the cartons had been checked against the manifest, model inspections began. When the figures had been looked over, they were then grouped by stock keeping units (SKUs) before being put in the various bays allocated to Beasts of the Mesozoic models.

The picture (above) shows some of the figures in the shipment. A tyrannosaur (Albertosaurus) is at the rear. In front of it is an original Styracosaurus figure. Two more tyrannosaurs are at the front, namely Alectrosaurus olseni and Moros intrepidus.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Models

The shipment contained a total of thirty-five different product lines. The warehouse is divided into several areas. Each area is dedicated to a specific manufacturer. Once the models were put into their bays, team members could update the inventory on-line. Unfortunately, the Beasts of the Mesozoic area is towards the back of the warehouse. It is a good job we had pallet trucks handy to help move all their boxes to their new home.

Having a tidy and well organised warehouse makes a big difference when it comes to packing customer orders. Models and figures can be located quickly and this speeds up the packing and despatching process. A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur explained that the warehouse had been carefully laid out to expediate the picking and packing of figures. There were hundreds of different product lines, all sorts of prehistoric animals to accommodate.

The spokesperson added:

“The website is organised into different zones. Each zone is home to a specific range or product line. We have invested in sturdy racking to permit us to store cartons and boxes in an orderly manner.

Orders placed for the new arrivals last night and this morning have already been despatched. The last collection from the company’s warehouse is normally scheduled for 3pm (BST).

Further Helpful Information About European Parcel Deliveries

The European customs network is continuing to experience software problems. This is leading to a delay in European parcel deliveries. Everything Dinosaur team members became aware of delays in the network on the 9th of April. We are continuing to monitor the situation on behalf of our European customers.

We apologise to all our affected customers for the delay in delivery. Please be assured your parcel is not lost but stuck in the European customs network and the parcel is unable to move until this problem has been resolved.

A statement was released by the company on the 13th April. We feel that it is important to be honest and transparent with our customers.

Read our earlier statement here: Information on European Parcel Deliveries.

Everything Dinosaur is registered for VAT in Ireland. We have continued to lobby the company responsible for our VAT payments (SimplyVAT), who in turn have been communicating with the Irish Tax and Customs Authority, with whom, it is believed the problem lies.

The Irish Tax and Customs Authority has released a statement. Everything Dinosaur was forwarded a copy this morning (18th April, 2024).

Statement from Irish Tax and Customs regarding problems with IOSS.

Statement from the Irish Tax Authority (Irish Tax and Customs) about the continuing difficulties with regards to validating IOSS numbers for customers including Everything Dinosaur. The statement, although brief does confirm that the ongoing difficulties are not the result of any actions undertaken by Everything Dinosaur. However, we continue to put pressure on SimplyVAT and the Irish Tax Authorities to resolve this issue. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Everything Dinosaur and IOSS (Import One Stop Shop)

According to information received by Everything Dinosaur, the difficulties in European deliveries have arisen as the unique IOSS number registered to companies is not being recognised by computer software at the Irish Tax and Customs Authority.

The Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) number was introduced in July 2021 to streamline international shipping and harmonise the declaring and payment of VAT.

Everything Dinosaur, like many UK companies wanted to keep trading in Europe and in order to do so applied and received a unique IOSS number. This permits us to pay the correct tax on all the prehistoric animal, dinosaur models and other items we sell in the EU. We pay a VAT monthly return. A criterion for membership of the IOSS scheme is that you have to be registered for VAT in an EU member country. Everything Dinosaur is registered for VAT in Ireland for this purpose.

With an IOSS number VAT payment is harmonised for UK and European companies and the amount of paperwork that is required is greatly reduced. This means that we can pack and despatch parcels to our European Union customers swiftly and offer them the convenience of Delivery Duty Paid (DDP).

Our customers have the assurance of a DDP parcel service with no hidden charges, extra taxes or courier company administration fees to pay.

The parcel delays are believed to relate to difficulties that have arisen following the installation of software updates by the Irish Tax and Customs Authority. This software is not recognising valid IOSS numbers. This is preventing parcels from moving through the European parcel network.

Team Members Seeking Answers

Whilst the software difficulties have nothing to do with Everything Dinosaur’s systems and processes. We have kept lobbying our VAT payment partner SimplyVAT in order to do our best to ensure a swift resolution. We want the current difficulties concerning European parcel deliveries to be resolved.

This morning, we received two statements from SimplyVAT about this issue. SimplyVAT has reiterated that they are not the source of the problem and we have enclosed both statements that we have received.

Reassuring Customers About European Parcel Deliveries

Whilst we stress, the delays in the European custom network have not been caused by Everything Dinosaur, we continue to do all we can to lobby those parties that can resolve this issue to act swiftly and to seek a rapid resolution.

We once again apologise to those customers who have been affected and we promise to continue to monitor the situation closely.

Popular Beasts of the Mesozoic Figures Coming Back into Stock

By Mike|2024-04-12T18:22:38+01:00April 14th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Popular Beasts of the Mesozoic figures are coming back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. A shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic models is expected next week. The shipment will consist of ceratopsians and tyrannosaurs including the blue-coloured Beasts of the Mesozoic Gorgosaurus model.

The Beasts of the Mesozoic Gorgosaurus libratus articulated figure is coming back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The Gorgosaurus figure was scheduled to be part of the third wave of these tyrannosaur figures (September 2023). A new delivery of these figures is expected at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse.

Beasts of the Mesozoic Figures

The Beasts of the Mesozoic range consists of articulated models. Each figure can be posed in a multitude of positions.

Providing Helpful Information About European Parcel Deliveries

Everything Dinosaur has been notified about possible delays concerning European parcel deliveries. A system error has been identified in the software that manages the European customs network. This is causing some disruption to parcel delivery services on the continent and elsewhere within the European Union. Team members routinely monitor parcel movements to Europe. It is part of our customer service promise to our customers. We like to make sure that parcels are delivered promptly. However, we noted that updates to tracking information was being delayed and this led to enquiries with the courier network. Everything Dinosaur was then informed that a problem with the software had been identified.

European Parcel Deliveries – An Update

Although the problem was not caused by Everything Dinosaur, the issue has nothing to do with us, we did request a release from the European customs authorities so that we could share this information with our customer base. In addition, a statement was prepared so that this could be posted up on social media and also sent out in response to enquiries from concerned customers.

Some Everything Dinosaur European customers may experience a delay in their parcel delivery. This is due to a software problem within the European customs network which is causing delays for international parcels clearing customs. Team members at Everything Dinosaur were made aware of this problem earlier this week and have requested that they be kept informed.

If you have any questions about European parcel deliveries, please contact Everything Dinosaur: Email Everything Dinosaur.

Everything Dinosaur has been assured that technicians are currently working to resolve this issue and normal service should be resumed shortly.

Everything Dinosaur sincerely apologises to customers who have been affected by this disruption. Whilst we are not able to solve this problem ourselves, we continue to work on behalf of our customers to ensure a swift resolution.

In addition, we have ensured that all queries from our customers have been handled promptly and we continue to do all we can to keep customers informed.

New CollectA Polacanthus YouTube Video Nears Completion

By Mike|2024-04-12T15:41:00+01:00April 12th, 2024|Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur videos, Main Page, Photos/Pictures of Fossils, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video is nearly complete. This video review will examine how accurately the model reflects the known fossil material. A review of armoured dinosaur fossil specimens associated with the Wealden Group is continuing. Isolated dermal armour fossils from southern England and the Isle of Wight may not necessarily represent the Polacanthus taxon. With the arrival of a new CollectA Polacanthus figure this year, team members have taken the opportunity to create a short YouTube video outlining the changing perceptions regarding Polacanthus foxii.

How accurate is the new CollectA Polacanthus?

How accurate is the new for 2024 CollectA Polacanthus? In a new video Everything Dinosaur team members take a look at the science behind this new CollectA Deluxe scale model. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Reviewing the CollectA Polacanthus

Everything Dinosaur were fortunate to be sent an early prototype of the figure. This figure has been used in our video review. It is a 3D print, and it has been painted in accordance with the production figure’s approved colour scheme. However, it is approximately the same size as the production model, albeit the model has two drainage holes located on its underside.

To view the current range of CollectA Deluxe prehistoric animal figures in stock: CollectA Prehistoric Animal Scale Models.

A spokesperson explained that as the material representing members of the Thyreophora was being reviewed, so it was likely that more taxa of British armoured dinosaurs would be erected. The spokesperson outlined that the Thyreophora was a clade. It consists of ornithischian armoured dinosaurs. To date, three armoured dinosaur taxa are associated with the Wealden Group, these dinosaurs are:

Hylaeosaurus (H. armatus) named by Mantell in 1833.
Polacanthus (P. foxii) named in 1865.
Vectipelta (V. barretti) named in 2023.

To read Everything Dinosaur’s blog post about the scientific description of Vectipelta barretti: Vectipelta Honours Natural History Museum Palaeontologist.

However, palaeontologists have become less confident over assigning armoured dinosaur fossils from the Wealden Group to a specific taxon. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Completing the CollectA Deluxe Polacanthus Video

The video consists of several pieces of narration including a short segment that explains the history of Polacanthus research. In addition, the video highlights some of the confusing perceptions that arose following the first scientific reconstruction of Polacanthus in 1905 (Nopcsa). Fortunately, the review of the figure has been concluded. This section has proved to be the most difficult part of the video to create. The work entailed undertaking an examination of the CollectA model and comparing it to the holotype fossil material.

The CollectA Polacanthus YouTube video review should be live on Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube site in a few days.

The popular Natural History Museum dinosaur models are being retired. The entire series of Natural History Museum dinosaur figures is now out of production. These dinosaur models were introduced more than twenty years ago. There had been plans to extend the range to include marine reptiles and pterosaurs. However, Everything Dinosaur has been informed that all these figures are now being retired.

Natural History Museum Dinosaur Models

When first introduced the range consisted of thirteen items, including two T. rex figures and two box sets. Over the years, the range has been reduced with the Corythosaurus, Iguanodon and the large Tyrannosaurus rex model being withdrawn. Everything Dinosaur team members were aware of the plans to stop production last year, but today, we formally announce that once stocks of these figures have been sold, they will not be replaced.

Megalosaurus Model out of Production

The Natural History Museum Megalosaurus model is also out of production. This year marks the two hundredth anniversary of the scientific description of Megalosaurus (M. bucklandii). However, this important scientific landmark has failed to save this figure. It too is being retired.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur confirmed that the company had been able to obtain stocks but once these had sold it would not be possible to replace them.

The spokesperson added:

“We have the Megalosaurus, T. rex, Baryonyx, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and the Diplodocus, Kentrosaurus box set, but the Ankylosaurus figure has already sold out. We have not altered our prices just because we know these figures are going be more difficult to obtain. Hopefully, model collectors will have plenty of notice to enable them to complete their model collections.”

It is not known whether the London Natural History Museum intends to introduce a new set of models.
