Do your prices include Tax?
Where a delivery address within Australia has been nominated, the Price includes Australian GST. Generally, Australian GST is not applicable where a delivery address outside Australia has been nominated, though additional taxes may be payable by you as levied by authorities in the country of delivery upon importation to that country. See International Import Tax Duty below.
International Import Tax Duty / Conversion Currency?
You may be charged import duties and taxes by your local customs authority when your parcel is received into your country. Duty rates vary depending on the value of the goods, what they are made of and where they are made. Importantly, all countries have different rules regarding this so we are unable to tell you exactly what duties you may be required to pay as this is determined on import by local customs officials. You will not always be required to pay duties or import tax, but it is important that you make yourself aware of the duties that apply in your country in case you are charged to avoid any surprises. We have highlighted some customs websites to refer to before purchasing below.
Please note, if you decide not to pay import taxes or duties and choose to reject the parcel, you will not be refunded for your order.
Currency conversions are estimates only and the total amount you are charged will depend on the exchange rate and processing fees your bank charges you. Your order total will display in AUD at checkout (even where you are using our currency converter to view prices in your local currency) and all order confirmation emails and invoices will display AUD. The conversion rate you are charged will be decided by your bank. While most exchange rate systems are very similar, we can’t guarantee the exchange rate we are using to display an approximate price to you on our site will be the same exchange rate that your bank uses when processing your transaction.
