It is the responsibility of the customer to cover shipping costs to dispatch their updated order upon exchange of goods.
DO I HAVE TO PAY IMPORT AND DUTY CHARGES?
Any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the cost would be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. The customer takes full liability for all postal charges, return shipment costs, customs charges and handling fees should they refuse to accept a parcel due to import duties or taxes. Please note - we cannot undervalue orders, or mark them as a gift. In addition, some orders may experience customs delays
