International Purchases
It’s about customer service first….
New Shipping Fees Changes coming see below
If you have not heard from me within two days, please check your SPAM folder for my replies.
All Prices are listed and processed in U.S. Dollars.
Shipping is calculated at the item location from Drop Down menu by selecting your destination there, if it does not have a destination, please e-mail me for price.
Customers with shipping addresses outside of the USA are responsible for all duties, import taxes, and brokerage fees Imposed by your country. These costs are not included in the price of shipping/handling of your order. Customs, duties, and taxes vary widely from country to country and can be higher than the total value of your order; please check with your local customs agency for details regarding exact costs as I have no way of knowing what countries collect on arrival.
International Shipping.
*****1/27/19 is seeing a significant increase in US Postal Shipping rates affecting both U.S. and International shipping rates that will need to be addressed. Since I have to calculate and manually change all international shipping this will take me a great deal of time. I will contact you regarding any increase that has not yet been updated on your purchase. How I calculate shipping (see below) has not changed and will not change as long as I am able to.
Australian Changes.
Australia just changed their taxing policies on July 1st 2018, previously items purchased outside of Australia were exuded from tax/duty for items below $1000 AUD. The July 1st change has as removed the $1000 limit and you will now be billed on arrival 10% of all items purchased outside of Australia. Know that when I calculate the value of the item I do not include the shipping of the item(s) to you nor do I include US Shipping as these are not the value of the product.
How Shipping Is Calculated.
With very few exceptions, the shipping price you pay will be US shipping subtracted from actual International shipping price.
When possible I have added drop down menu choices on most items that fit best and ship most economically in USPS Flat Rate Boxes or items that over time I know for certain their shipping cost. Most often listed as USPS First Class International which is often the most economical, it does not have reliable tracking capabilities… Just an FYI
You can on request use Priority Mail or Express Mail and I will charge only the actual difference. I do not use shipping to make money. I am sorry I cannot make alterations in customs documentation of prices. I will try to ship in the most beneficial manner to you that I can and you will let you know if you e-mail me before you buy. If it is too much for you, no harm, no foul. My goal is to make the products affordable to international customers, not make money on shipping.
