International Shipping Information & Policy

We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.

Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.

International shipments via USPS
The postal and customs services in many countries are likewise experiencing delivery delays, which when compounded with domestic delays has resulted in parcels being delayed up to 2-3 weeks. As a result, we recommend using FedEx for all international orders at this time.

In addition, postal service to some countries has been temporarily suspended. If you place an order with USPS shipping to a location where delivery is currently unavailable, you will be contacted by our customer service department with options to refund or suspend your order until mail service resumes. FedEx service is still available to these locations.

 

Customs, Duties, and Taxes: 

International shipments may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. Please contact your local customs office for information. 

 

Refusal To Pay Customs:

In the event that a customer wishes to not pay the customs fees associated with their package, it will be returned to Soundavo by their country. Any shipping costs will be on the burden of the customer. If the customer received free shipping, the shipping cost for both trips will be deducted from their refunded amount.

Please note: Some countries will require that customs be paid for even if the package never leaves customs. Refusal to pay customs fees in these countries, will result in the fees and any shipping costs to be deducted from your refunded amount. In the event that your fees exceed the purchase price, Soundavo reserves the right to bill you for the difference.

 

International Return:

Products shipped internationally are still eligible for returns. Please note that the shipping cost from us (Soundavo), and any customs fees and taxes that were associated with your package may be non-refundable in the event of a return. International duties are only refundable at the discretion of the country receiving the package. Soundavo has no control of these costs and therefore has no ability to refund them.

We will deduct our cost of shipping it to you from your refund.
