Which delivery services do you use?
Overseas: Parcels under 2Kg in weight are sent by insured International Air Mail delivery with tracking. For parcels 2Kg and over an EMS service with tracking is used which tends to be treated as Express in most countries. These services are handled in the destination country by the local postal service (eg. USPS, Royal Mail, Australia Post, Canada Post, etc) except in the UK where over 2kg items are normally handled by Parcel Force.
New Zealand: We use CourierPost's tracked service with signature on delivery.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship our sheepskin products to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, much of mainland Europe and Asia, Australia and within New Zealand. Nature's Beauty cosmetics can be shipped to all these countries except the United States due to trademark restrictions.

Will I incur Customs charges?
USA: Generally no, as it is extremely rare to hear of customers in the United States being charged.
UK: Generally no, as smaller packages are not charged duty or VAT. We however understand that this can sometimes not be the case and for our UK customers we will refund any dury or VAT charges incurred.
Australia: The Australian Government is reserving the right to charge GST on all goods purchased from overseas retailers (including ourselves) from 1 July 2018. While we fall under the current threshold for collecting the GST at source there is a chance (unlikely) you may be charged import GST by Australian Customs. Previously Australian import GST was only chargeable on purchases over AUD$1000 although this was not always actually levied.
New Zealand: No, all orders are shipped from our warehouse in Auckland, New Zealand so GST is included in our prices.
All other countries: Although few countries charge every single package of commercial value, there's a good chance you will incur Customs charges, especially for higher value items. Charging thresholds and amounts charged vary considerably between countries, so it would be worth checking locally before ordering if this is of concern.
If Customs duties/taxes are charged, they are the responsibility of the recipient and such charges are collected either by the local postal or Customs service.
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
If shipping to a work address, please include the company name, postal services occasionally return items as unknown if this is not present. If the item doesn't relate to your work, you can put "c/o" or "care of" before the company name.
Postal services often only hold parcels for a short time after a delivery attempt is made - sometimes as little as 5 days before returning them to us as unclaimed. Therefore if you are not in when a delivery attempt is made, you must claim the parcel promptly. If a parcel is refused or unclaimed you may either be charged storage fees by the local postal service, or they may return the parcel to us by economy mail which can take 1 to 4 months. The return postage, if charged, plus the original postage at cost, would be deducted from any credit.
What if a parcel is lost or delayed?
You should in the first instance contact us to enquire about tracking details if you have not received them. The international delivery services we use are very reliable but in the unlikely event of a parcel being lost, a replacement parcel will be shipped after allowing around 4 weeks. This time may be increased when widespread delays are known about or likely to certain destinations (for example orders to Germany can incur excessive Customs delays).
For our insurance claim to be paid, the claim needs to be lodged within 90 days and New Zealand Post require the recipient to reply to their letter requesting confirmation of non-delivery. In the event of no response being received we reserve the right to charge for the replacement parcel.
