INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING TERMS
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING POLICY
We are happy to ship anywhere on Earth. However, given the added cost of import tariffs, duties and other taxes or fees, we want to be clear about what is and what is not included in your international shipment. Shipments to other planets is not available.
See the box below our international shipping policy for tips on saving money on international orders.
Our International Shipping Policy:
- Your purchase from Ironcloud Metalworks includes ONLY product costs and costs related to the actual shipping fee. This does not include any additional fees -- such as any brokerage fees, tariffs, duties, taxes, fees, or any and all other fees related to the package.
- By completing your purchase, you agree to pay any and all additional fees to ensure your package is delivered.
- If the package is marked as undeliverable (e.g. it is held in customs since you did not pay import fees/duties/etc.): you agree to cover any return shipping charges to return the package back to Ironcloud Metalworks. This cost will come out of the amount refunded to you provided the item returns to Ironcloud Metalworks in an unused condition and is resaleable.
- If the item or package is destroyed or damaged due to a failure cover any additional fees related to your shipment, you will not receive a refund for your product or shipping.
- Under any condition, Ironcloud Metalworks is not obligated to cover import fees/tariffs/duties or any additional fees for your shipment.
A NOTE ON SAVING MONEY ON INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
Many carriers (including UPS and USPS) charge brokerage fees for imported shipments. These brokerage fees can be very expensive.
- The carrier charges these "brokerage fees" to process your shipment for import
- Brokerage fees are charged in addition to any taxes, duties, tariffs, etc.
- Brokerage fees differ by country and carrier
We have the most experience with UPS and have a few notes below that may help you save some money. The information below is accurate as of 4/20/2024 -- UPS changes these terms often and makes it quite difficult to track down online:
- Shipments sent via UPS Standard incur a LARGE value-based brokerage fee for most swivel shipments (more expensive orders have higher fees)
- FOR CANADA: This value-based brokerage fee is roughly ~65 USD for a swivel purchase.
- FOR OTHER COUNTRIES: you can find the value-based brokerage fees by contacting UPS.
- Shipments sent via UPS Worldwide Expedited do NOT incur value-based brokerage fees, regardless of shipment value.
Other UPS Fees will apply regardless of method -- but in our experience -- the value-based brokerage fees is the one that stings.
In most cases, we’ve found that UPS Worldwide Expedited is (most likely) the cheapest option after accounting for all fees.
If you have any questions or concerns about international shipping -- please contact us before you order.
