Direct from the ACSI webshop in Holland a one off ie non subscription purchase comes to 19.95€ incl postage. Which is just under £17 so slightly cheaper than Vicarious at £18.50. A issue might be though extra charge added when book is delivered from Holland to pay for customs entry due to brexit. I don’t know about that.. Does anybody know specifically ?
There has been plenty in the news about orders from EU suppliers being hit with large extra charges on delivery from the start of this year. While we have a zero tariff trade deal with EU customs entries may be required which are charged extra by carrier even though supplier may have no knowledge of this.
So probably better to order a one off from Vicarious which is a UK based supplier & ime delivers within 2 days. The 2022 book is not available until December from either supplier.

I had an e mail,from Vicarious books offering pre order which I have done.
Hope to use it next year!
I did too which gave a slight discount too. Like you, I'm hoping to get the chance to use it next year too!
Used ours in France this year but oddly the biggest saving was using it in UK before we went to France. We used it at Coftons at Dawlish for 10 days £16pn instead of about £27pn.
I have not ordered my ACSI card yet but I notice on Vicarious Books website is a note stating 2022 ACSI books are stuck in customs & it is not known when they will be released.
This does rather suggest that ACSI have failed to do their homework & have dispatched their UK books same as they always have without understanding that as of this year UK is no longer part of the single market.
No doubt it will get sorted but probably a better idea to buy from UK based supplier ie Vicarious when available rather than direct from ACSI in Holland which might result in an extra bill when the books are delivered.
ACSI themselves post the books out directly to each subscribing customer. Those stuck waiting in customs, mentioned by Vicarious books, are the books they sell themselves
Customers buying directly from ACSI have reported that they started arriving yesterday.

Thanks, Val, good to have an update. We will have to see if the website of sites in the scheme for 2022 is live now!

I hadn’t realised that ACSI works in UK, but only at 25 sites (or that’s what my search told me), 2 of which are in Scotland. Sounds useful abroad though.
