Shar and its shipping partners are not able to influence local delivery practices. The arrival times shown above for International shipping indicate the amount of time it will take for your order to reach the custom’s office in your country.  The time it takes to get your order from custom’s office to your recipient’s address or postal office can vary widely from country to country. Delivery may be delayed by customs/import duties and local postal requirements. 

Customs
We are required to list the contents of all international packages and the exact total value of your shipment, even if the order is a gift.  Any customs, taxes or import duties are your responsibility and will be charged to you once the package reaches your country.  Additional charges for customs clearance are also your responsibility; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.  We do not take responsibility for goods confiscated by customs officials or by similar authorities.  We cannot accept returns or reused shipments based on unexpected customs charges.  Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you may want to contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

Because of the handcrafted nature of many of our items, out of stock items may take 60 to 90 days to become available. You may cancel a backorder at any time.
