International Delivery Options

For all European and International orders we use Royal Mail's Priority Airmail, DPD or FedEx services. A quote can be obtained at checkout time as the cost varies country by country, this quote is based on a parcel weighing 2 kilo or less. We reserve the right to use whichever service and packing method is the most cost effective for any International shipping. The express services are the fastest available but are not guaranteed for any specific date. Deliveries to Europe take approximately 3-5 working days and countries outside of the EU normally take 7-10 working days. These times are an estimate and whilst we rarely experience delays, we have to allow a full 25 working days for all international deliveries. We do not deliver to forwarding companies/addresses or P.O Boxes (unless within the UAE.)

We offer Tax Free shopping for non-EU customers and this is automatically deducted at checkout time

Please note that some orders may be held back to undergo additional security checks and if your order is above 2kg we may charge actual shipping cost but will contact you first. If separate orders are placed they will be shipped together and postage charged accordingly. You may also be asked to produce additional information to confirm your address or identity. Aphrodite reserves the right to cancel an order at any time. For International orders 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.

Please note - we cannot undervalue orders, or mark them as a gift. DPD have the right to leave the parcel with a neighbour if the recipient is absent.
