Shipping to the United States
The United States has recently changed its customs regulations, removing the previous duty-free threshold.
To ensure a smooth experience, all Ilona Tambor orders to the US are shipped via Royal Mail using PDDP (Postage Delivered Duty Paid).
This means that all customs duties are covered by us in advance, and your parcel will arrive without additional charges.
Shipping to the European Union
All European Union orders are shipped DDP (Delivery Duties Paid).
This means that customs duties and handling fees are covered by us at the point of dispatch, so your parcel arrives without additional charges.
If you experience anything unexpected, please contact us at info@ilonatambor.com.
Worldwide delivery
We ship worldwide.
Customers in the UK, EU and USA will not be charged additional duties or taxes — the price shown at checkout is the final price.
Customers outside the UK, EU and USA may be responsible for local import duties and taxes, which are determined by customs authorities in the destination country.
Important delivery information
If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful, the courier may leave a delivery notice or redirect the parcel to a nearby pick-up point or parcel locker, depending on the local service.
Please note that delivery notices may not always be left in shared buildings or apartments where access is restricted.
Once an order has been dispatched, we are unable to redirect it to another address.
If delivery proves impossible or impractical on two or more occasions, we may need to cancel the order and refund the purchase amount minus the original delivery charge. We will always make every effort to contact you beforehand.
Returns
We hope you will be delighted with your purchase. If for any reason your piece is not quite right, we accept returns within 14 days of delivery.
