All orders are shipped from our New Zealand HQ therefore all purchases from outside New Zealand qualify as international and may be subject to duties and taxes. The full cost of shipping your order (even if you are not paying your shipping yourself) may also be included as part of the total value of your parcel and may contribute to tax and duty thresholds and charges. DHL will automatically pay money owed on a shipment on behalf of the receiver to Customs and they therefore charge a fee for the money they are lending and also the cost to collect the charge from the customer. All shipping time frames listed above may vary depending on your local customs agencies processing times. Please read our International Ordering Guide page for further information.
Please note orders placed during a sale or promotional period may take up to 10 working days to be processed. If your order is time sensitive please email contact@thefabricstoreonline.com and we will do our best to rush it through.
