International Orders & Customs Fees

For international orders, product prices and shipping/handling costs do not include import duties, taxes, or brokerage fees. These fees are assessed by the destination country and will be collected by the carrier upon delivery.

All customs duties and import fees are the sole responsibility of the recipient. We strongly recommend checking with your local customs office to determine what these additional costs may be prior to finalizing your purchase.

Returns & Exchanges Shipping

If you are returning an item purchased online or in-store, the customer is responsible for all return shipping, handling, and delivery fees. However, free outbound shipping is provided for eligible exchanges within the United States.

All returns and exchanges must be mailed directly to our Chicago location.
