INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS - PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER
We send sprays all over the world but at present we don't send to the following countries:
Austria (essential oils are not accepted by customs)
South Africa (problems with security/items being stolen)
Saudi Arabia ("religious" items mentioning angels, Christ etc. are prohibited).
EU customers: since Brexit, all orders going to the EU have to go through customs/border control and are subject to import charges/taxes which will have to be paid for before your order is released to you for delivery. (See link below for guidance from the European Commission).
Other customers outside the UK: you are also likely to be charged import taxes when your order arrives at customs/border control in your country.
All import duty/taxes etc are the responsibility of the customer.
Please see below for general information but we strongly advise customers to make your own enquiries about possible charges BEFORE placing an order. We cannot advise on this as each country is different. If you to refuse to pay the charges and your order is returned to us we will refund you, minus shipping charges (when we have received it back) but we will have to charge an admin fee of £5 on top of this.
