🇺🇸 USA SHIPPING UPDATES
🚚 DHL Express DDP - Temporary but Seamless
Right now Australia Post and USPS are still implementing their new systems to handle Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) for parcels to the US. Until that’s live, they aren’t accepting US-bound shipments through the postal network.
To keep your orders moving, we’ve temporarily switched to DHL Express with DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).
That means:
✅ No duties, tariffs or fees to pay when your parcel arrives at your door
✅ Everything is handled upfront by us
✅ A smooth, reliable delivery to your door
💸 What This Means for You
We want to be transparent: DHL is more expensive than postal shipping. It’s the only option available while the postal systems catch up with the new rules.
Shipping Rates with DHL:
-
Up to 500g: USD 34
-
501g–1kg: USD 40
The good news? With DDP, you won’t pay anything extra on arrival, no surprise import fees, no handling charges.
🕐 Looking Ahead
As soon as Australia Post and USPS finish their upgrades, we’ll move back to the postal network with DDP enabled. That will mean the same seamless duty-paid experience at a lower cost.
We’re monitoring this closely and will update you the moment it’s ready.

🐾 A Final Note
-
This change is a result of US import rules and system updates, it’s not something we control.
-
DHL is the best temporary option to make sure you don’t get hit with hidden costs.
-
Once postal DDP is ready we’ll pass the savings straight back to you.
