Important Update: Changes to EU Customs Fees & US Import Tariffs

Hey everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for your continued love and support for our handcrafted items. Being able to bring these unique props and creations from our workshop directly to your doorstep all over the world means everything to us.

To keep our shop operating smoothly, transparently, and without unexpected delivery surprises, we want to share a quick and honest update regarding international shipping and import duties.

Over the past year and a half, new trade policies and customs regulations have significantly impacted international shipping costs:

  • For our US Customers: As many of you know, US import rules have applied a 10% tariff on international goods over the last 1.5 years. Up until now, we’ve been absorbing as much of these costs as possible. However, to maintain the quality of our craftsmanship without compromise, a small 10% import charge will now be calculated transparently at checkout as “The tariff imposed by Trump”.
  • For our EU Customers: The EU has recently rolled out updated customs and postal duty rules, shifting the responsibility of prepaying import duties, VAT, and administrative handling fees directly to the sender (DDP – Delivered Duty Paid). To ensure your packages arrive at your doorstep hassle-free without being held up at local post offices or hit with unexpected extra fees upon delivery, these exact fixed customs charges will now be added automatically at checkout based on your specific destination country as “EU Customs & Handling Fees (DDP)”.

What does this mean for you? Total transparency! When you place an order, the final price you see at checkout is 100% final. You won’t have to deal with unexpected invoices, hidden fees, or customs hold-ups when your parcel arrives in your country.

We truly appreciate your understanding, support, and patience as we navigate these changing global shipping rules. If you have any questions about an upcoming order or shipping to your country, feel free to reach out to us anytime!

Thank you for being such an awesome community.

Best regards,

The GvenShop Team

Shop Announcement

We have updated our pricing policy!
After 5 years on Etsy, where we gradually raised prices, we’ve decided to make our items more affordable.

  • All digital products are now permanently priced at just $0.5.
  • All other products are now available at permanently reduced prices.

Our goal is to receive more orders and share our creations with a wider audience of fans.

Friends, I need to share an important update.

My Etsy shop, which I’ve been running for over 5 years, with hundreds of 5*reviews, almost 1r sells and more than $12,000 just in fees paid, has been permanently closed by Etsy due to cosplay Mass Effect pistols.

Despite my constant efforts to follow the rules and stay in touch with support, Etsy made the final decision. It’s disappointing, as the shop had a strong reputation and loyal customers.

But this is not the end.
I will keep creating unique cosplay props, and you can now find my work here

We’re back — and our website is now ready!

After a break, we’re happy to announce that we are finally open for orders again. Because of the new US import tariffs (10%), our prices have temporarily increased by 5%.

Our new website is now fully operational:

  • All product images, descriptions, and customer reviews have been successfully transferred.
  • Sorting and filtering options are being improved for easier navigation.
  • We’re also adding items that Etsy does not allow to be listed — for example, replica firearms from anime (cosplay props only).

Thank you for your support — every order helps us keep creating unique handmade props!

Vacation Notice

Dear customers,

I’m taking a break!

From August 8 to September 11, the store will be on vacation mode. During this time, new orders will not be accepted.

The website is still under development:

  • Products from Etsy have already been migrated,
  • Photos and customer reviews are in place,
  • Ukrainian translation is still in progress.

Thank you for your patience and support!
See you in September!

I’m partially back to work!

After a long break, I’ve started gradually returning to work on physical products.

My independent store is still under construction:
– only the main (cover) photos are currently uploaded for some products,
– some product descriptions are not yet available in Ukrainian,
– but a new payment gateway (WayForPay) has been connected — so now you can pay by card securely and directly.

The Etsy store is still working as usual!
You can order any items that haven’t been removed due to intellectual property restrictions and read all reviews here

Thank you for your continued support — it means a lot!

We were attacked by r*ssia

February 24 at 5:00 my city got hits with missile attacks. The total war was started.

On April 17 I joined Ukrainian National Guard troops. This is the reason only digital products will be available in my store before I return. On October 11 I got access to my site for making this post.

You can make transfers/donate an IBAN account for help for Ukraine or help us in other ways: https://linktr.ee/freeukraine


Thank for you supporting us!

Everything will be Ukraine!
