General information
"Transport price or cost" is considered the price of transporting orders and "shipping price or cost" is the sum of the total transport costs and associated expenses (eg customs expenses associated with export).
The shipping price (total sum of all costs associated with transport) is shown to the user in the "shopping cart" during the order and before the checkout process, so the user will always know the shipping cost before to choose the payment option.
Shipping costs are based on the weight of the packaged package, but some shipping companies may consider the volumetric weight, this will be considered whenever the volumetric weight exceeds the real weight. The calculation basis for the volumetric weight depends on the shipping company.
Purchasing some items may include handling and packaging costs. For some destinations the shipping cost also includes Customs charges requested by the shipping company.
Shipping costs include handling costs (if applicable), packaging (if applicable), customs export costs (if applicable) and shipping costs. Handling and packaging costs are fixed while transport costs depend on the weight or volume of the order, dimensions and geographic region of destination. Any export costs depend on the country of destination and are requested by the transport company.
The maximum dimensions allowed for shipments are defined by the transport companies that carry out the shipments, thus, the size of the order may prevent shipments to some destinations. If during the preparation of the order there is no option to choose the transport company, it means that due to its size, it is not possible to send the order to the user's destination through the transport companies used on this website. In this case, at the user's request, we will try to obtain a quote from another transport company. For this, the user must request this request through the contact email of this website.
