If you are placing an order for delivery outside the uk, please review the International Orders section below.

4. International orders

4.1 If you order items for delivery to a country other than the United Kingdom, this section applies to you.

4.2 You will be the importer for the delivery of items to a country other than the UK. That means that, before placing an order, it is your responsibility to check that the items you are planning to import comply with any government import regulations, and that there are no local requirements or restrictions which may affect your receiving the items. Customs may inspect goods prior to delivery, which may cause delays

4.3 For US customers all applicable customs and import duties and fees, taxes and any other charges are pre-paid by Sirdar and are included in the price shown to you at checkout.

4.4 For orders to countries other than the US, most of these shouldn't be charged customs as most are below the minimum customs duty threshold. This amount may vary from country to country and these fees are the responsibility of the customer. We ship your package DDU, "duties and taxes unpaid", and we do not collect the VAT, duties and/or taxes and cannot predict what your particular charges may be. If your order does require payment of these additional charges, they must be paid by you in order for your package to clear customs.

9.5 E-Gift Cards must be redeemed in their entirety. If you do not redeem the full cash value of the E-Gift Card in a single order, then the remaining amount will be forfeited.

9.6 An E-Gift Card is valid for one year from the date of purchase. If an E-Gift Card is not redeemed within one year of purchase, then the entire value of the E-Gift Card will be forfeited.

9.7 Your right to return an item is exactly the same regardless of whether you paid using an E-Gift Card, a payment card, or a combination of the two. If you paid for the whole order with an E-Gift Card, then a replacement E-Gift Card for the amount will be issued to you. If you paid with a combination of payment card and E-Gift Card, we'll refund anything that you paid for on your debit/credit card first, and then the remaining amount will be issued as a new E-Gift Card.
