Free delivery
At Vitsœ we deliver free of charge: to the UK and EU; and via ocean container to contiguous US and Canada, and Australia.
This means you pay one price for your product, and will never be charged an additional delivery fee – unless you choose an expedited shipping method.
Delivery fees apply elsewhere. Your country’s customs, taxes and duties will still apply.
Where we deliver
We can deliver to most countries worldwide, but for some countries, it is not always possible to deliver door-to-door and our shippers will only be able to deliver to a port.
If you have ordered via a planner, they will always inform you of this before any payment is taken. If you have ordered online, your delivery time and details will be provided before you complete your purchase.
There are a small number of countries to which we cannot invoice, deliver, or accept payments from. They are:
- Afghanistan
- Belarus
- Burma/Myanmar
- Cuba
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- Iran
- Israel
- North Korea
- Palestine
- Russia
- Somalia
- Sudan
- Syria
- Ukraine
- Zimbabwe
But no matter how you have come to Vitsœ, please call or email if you’re unclear about any aspect of delivery.

Taxes & duties
The details of taxes and duties are very specific, country-to-country. Below is our best understanding of basic customs information, but for complete, up-to-date details, you should inquire with the customs officials at your order destination.
We do know that in a few countries it may be necessary for you to be a registered importer before the local customs will allow the final delivery of the goods. A tax number is normally needed for this.

Once your shipment has cleared customs, you have two weeks to receive your delivery or you will be charged storage fees.
There are no import duties or tax for deliveries from the UK – known as delivery duty paid (DDP).
Australia
You are responsible for any local taxes or import duties levied at your destination – known as delivery at place (DAP) which means the price you pay to Vitsœ excludes any duty or taxes.
The local shipping agent will contact you to arrange payment. Payment will be necessary to release the goods from customs.

At your door
Deliveries always arrive with you on a weekday, Monday to Friday. You will know the date of your delivery in advance, either through your planner or via the courier.
The courier will only be able to deliver your parcel to the main entrance of your address; they will not be able to bring the goods inside.
We insure your goods for each delivery and take responsibility for the transport of the goods until you sign for them. Thereafter the responsibility transfers to you.
Accept and check your order
First, check the outer packaging before signing the courier receipt. If the outer packaging is damaged, please email or call us right away.
Next, open your Vitsœ delivery boxes and check the contents carefully, then let us know of any damaged or missing items within 48 hours.
Returning damaged or missing items
Recycle your packaging
We pack our items well. If you are a regular customer you will also notice that we continue to refine our packaging to offer the best balance of strength and protection with minimal bulk.
If you are able, please return your packaging to us for reuse or retain it for future use. All Vitsœ packaging can be recycled.
