International Orders

- When you place an online order using an international shipping address, shipping costs will be displayed as $0.00.


- Since shipping rates vary based on country and weight of package, we will e-mail your specific shipping costs within 2 business days of receiving your order.  International shipping fees generally start between $60 to $80 and increase based on the weight of the order.  This amount does not include customs and duties fees; please see below for more details.


- Please reply to the e-mail that you accept these fees. We will not ship your order until you accept the fees. If we do not hear from you after 3 e-mail attempts, your order will be canceled.


- Once we receive your acceptance e-mail, we will contact you for credit card details to process the shipping fee.  Unfortunately, we are unable to retrieve this information from your original order due to our secure processing system.  Please note in your acceptance email the best method and time to reach you.


- International orders are shipped via UPS International, which allows us to track the shipment. Once it is shipped, it takes approximately 5-10 business days for the package to arrive at your door. 


- International order recipients are responsible for any customs, duties, taxes or special fees applied upon delivery by the destination country’s local government. The museum is not responsible for these fees and does not include them in the original shipping quote, nor does the museum pay them once they are incurred.  Please note, if the order recipient refuses to pay these fees upon the package’s arrival to their country and the package is returned to the museum,  the original shipping charges will not be refunded and return shipping costs will be charged back to the purchaser’s original method of payment.


- If you are purchasing a gift shipping to an international or Canadian address, you can pay customs and duty fees in advance, so your gift recipient is not responsible for these fees when their gift arrives.  Please let us know and we can add this fee to your order total.
