International shipping policy

​

  1. International buyers are responsible for any fees, duty, taxes or customs that may apply within their resident country. Our items are declared at their correct sale value as legally required.

  2. International customers should place pre-orders and orders for in stock items separately,

  3. this will reduce the chance of overpaying on shipping as the estimated weight of any pre-ordered items will be added to the total and affect the automated shipping estimate for the order.

  4. Where in stock and pre-orders are placed together the buyer will be invoiced for the shipping of any pre-order items as any and all of them arrive to us for processing and shipping, this is in addition to the shipping charged to send their in stock items at time of order.

  5. At the moment when placing a pre-order with full payment the applicable shipping is automatically added to the order and will of course be honoured on arrival of the product and any final balances owed will be adjusted accordingly.

  6. If any of the above is unsuitable but you still wish to make a pre-order, please contact us to discuss your needs.

  7. International customers should purchase confidently and in normal cases the shipping charged will be accurate for the items purchased. Unfortunately the costs of shipping internationally fluctuate daily and are subject to additional costs based on but not limited to: weight; volumetric weight; actual size/dimensions; destination and value.

  8. For pre-ordered items the weights and dimensions may also change from original specifications we receive, potentially altering shipping costs when they arrive.

We default to the most economical option for the customer depending on a number of factors including location, item value and weight/dimensions.
