FAQs About International Shipping

How long does international shipping usually take?

International shipping usually takes 7–14 working days, depending on where you're sending it and how your local customs officers are feeling. We’ll send tracking details once your parcel's dispatched, so you can follow its journey. A few items may arrive separately, especially the slower movers. For more remote locations, it might take a bit longer, but we’ll keep you posted throughout.

Why is international shipping more expensive than domestic?

International shipping costs more than domestic because of the longer distances, customs handling, fuel surcharges, and tracking fees. Couriers charge more for the extra legwork (and paperwork), especially if insurance is involved. We use well-rated services and wrap everything securely, so your order arrives intact, not in bits.

Are customs fees included in international shipping costs?

No, customs fees are not included in international shipping costs. Charges vary by country and will be collected locally once your parcel arrives. We label everything clearly to help smooth things through customs, though a spot of red tape may still be involved. It's worth checking your country’s rules before ordering.
