Frequently Asked Questions

When are duties and taxes charged?

All applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout before you complete your purchase. This means you'll know the full landed cost upfront, with no surprise charges upon delivery.

Why is international shipping more expensive than US shipping?

US customers pay a flat $14.38 shipping rate. International orders require DHL Express international freight, customs documentation, and import processing — which carry significantly higher costs. We've chosen DHL Express for its speed and reliability.

Can I get a shipping quote before entering payment information?

Yes! Add your item(s) to cart and proceed to checkout — you'll see the full breakdown of shipping + duties + taxes before entering payment information. You can always abandon checkout if the total doesn't work for you.

Do you offer cheaper international shipping options?

We're using DHL Express because they transparently handle duties upfront. In the past we used other carriers but found customers unhappy about surprise duties upon delivery.

Duty and tax estimates are approximate and based on typical rates. Actual charges depend on your country's customs rules, the declared value of your order, and current exchange rates. All costs are confirmed at checkout before payment.
