BLOWSION INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OPTIONS

UPS - Normal delivery times are 2-4 days. All UPS international freight options Blowsion offers include up to the minute daily online tracking. Blowsion UPS international freight costs are generally discounted 10%-15% or more off the posted online prices due to the volume of international freight we ship.

USPS Priority International Mail - Normal delivery time is 8-14 days (not guaranteed). US Priority International Mail Service is our low cost freight option to many countries. Please be aware that with US Priority International Mail Service there is no daily updated tracking capability. Once the shipment leaves the USA, the package in most cases is then integrated into the receiving countries postal delivery network. We retain the USPS outbound and delivery confirmation number information in our database as proof of the shipment departure. USPS Priority Intl Mail has slower customs clearance than UPS and in cases can take longer than estimated.

Shipments outside the US may be subject to customs fees, tariffs, duties, Value-Added Tax (VAT) etc depending on the rules of each country. Customs procedures and charges can vary widely and are the recipient’s responsibility. Your local UPS customs or Postal office can estimate any fees that may be incurred and we encourage you to contact your local representative for more information.

Blowsion cannot provide accurate estimates for these costs.

If you refuse a package that has been received by customs because you cannot clear the tariffs or taxes, we will refund the cost of the product(s) after collecting the return shipping fees and any additional fees required to return the package to Blowsion.
