SHIPPING

Yes, we do. To get a shipping quote add the items you would like to purchase to your cart and proceed to the checkout. Our system will calculate shipping rates based on your delivery address, order weight and order value.

Please be aware that all international orders are shipped delivery duties unpaid (DDU) and that you, the customer, are responsible for any local customs fees, taxes, and/or duties. Any import duties and taxes are charged once the package has reached the destination country and these charges must be paid by the recipient of the package. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges as customs policies vary from country to country. If you have questions related to customs charges you are advised to contact your local customs office.
