Please enquire at the time of placing your order with us, we will then advise the costs and you will have the option to proceed with the order or cancel should you consider the delivery charges too high.
There are no hard and fast rules when delivering items to different countries and jurisdictions. In some instances, customs will charge duties + VAT and other times they don’t. We are not liable for any of these costs, should they occur in your country of residence (as per our Shipping & Returns policy).

We are unable to accept responsibility for customs and handling charges levied by authorities in the country of destination. Prices quoted to international shoppers exclude VAT, however, VAT may be levied in the country of importation.

8. HOW WILL MY ORDER BE DELIVERED?

All parcels are dispatched by our contracted courier service, who deliver between 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

Unfortunately, we are unable to change the delivery address once the order has been processed.

We cannot accept responsibility for parcels that the courier has been unable to deliver, nor parcels which have been left without a signature at your request. We always recommend that you provide us with a business address for deliveries, as there is likely to be someone who can sign on your behalf. Delivery to PO BOX addresses is not currently available.
Please refer to our returns policy that explains the terms under which goods may be returned.
