With these options, VAT can be collected at the time of order for business to consumer (B2C) orders to eliminate unexpected charges after online transactions are completed. Customers can still use a validated VAT number to defer payment later in the purchase process.
“Digi-Key continuously looks for ways to improve our customers’ purchasing experience, so we are thrilled to roll out more streamlined delivery and VAT options for customers based in Europe,” said Ian Wallace, vice president, Americas and EMEA business development at Digi-Key. “These more flexible options eliminate unexpected charges and create a more seamless, simplified ordering process for engineers and makers around the world.”
