INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
Most international orders outside North America are generally shipped via USPS Priority International, usually a 6-10 business day air service. The shipping rates shown to different countries are the same amount that Tailwinds is charged by the United States Postal Service to deliver the item(s) placed on order. Ship charges may be more for countries like New Zealand or Australia where we need to double box to protect the product from potential breakage. You will be notified by email for your approval if additional ship funds are required. International orders over $200 are accepted with PayPal payments only and may require shipping by an alternative carrier. You will be notified via email if this is the case and advised of a different ship charge for your approval. Customers are responsible for any custom duties or taxes. Please be aware that not all items are available to be shipped internationally and Tailwinds only ships to countries where insurance is available. Sorry but we do not offer Express Shipping for international orders. Customers will be notified by email should we be unable to deliver the merchandise placed on order and appreciate your understanding when this occurs.
