International shipping is based on dynamic postage rates obtained through Royal Mail & UPS based on the combined weight of products ordered.

Royal Mail: There are a possible 4 postage options, dependant on the country of receipt. The weight limit for most countries via Royal Mail is 2KG, if the products ordered exceed the package weight limit then Royal Mail will not be a selectable option.

UPS: There are 2 possible UPS options, dependant on the country of receipt. The weight limits for UPS will usually far exceed the possible weight of a retail parcel, therefore most countries should be offered fair shipping costs even for very heavy parcels.

Parcels heading to Europe should arrive in 5 – 10 working days in most cases.

For countries outside of Europe, parcels should take 7 – 14 working days in most cases.

We reserve the right to remove or add shipping locations at any time.

Returned / Rejected Packages:

In some circumstances packages may be returned to us or rejected by the destination country. Reasons can include:

• Customs Rejection
• Incorrect / Incomplete Address
• Packages not collected from Mail Centre
• Non payment of importation fees

If a package is returned to as it could not be delivered, we cannot provide refunds or re-shipments until the new
inal package has arrived with us. At this point we can arrange a re-shipment (subject to shipment fee) or alternatively a refund. If you choose to have a refund, this is the new
inal order total, minus the delivery charge and minus any return shipping costs we have have been charged by the carrier. Should the package be destroyed due to non payment of importation fees or customs seizure, no refund would be due.

Delivery to a non Residential address:

We will send your order to the address stated under the shipping address of your order. If you have chosen for the goods to be sent/shipped to a non Residential address (such as a work address or a public locker) then this is solely at the risk of the customer. Riverside Distribution Ltd T/A Vapour Depot will not be held liable for any missing packages delivered to a non Residential address, once delivery confirmation has been obtained from Royal Mail (or any other shipping provider used).

Riverside Distribution Ltd T/A Vapour Depot reserve the right to cancel any orders using mail forwarding services.

Pre-Orders/Back-Orders:

If you place an order which is for a pre-release product or an out of stock item, which we are taking back-orders for, the full cost will be taken at point of checkout. All products ordered will be sent once all items are in stock and not split over multiple shipments. Will provide communications to keep you informed while your order is outstanding.

Customs and Importation:

If you are ordering from outside the UK, you will be liable for customs and/or importation fees. These fees are completely out of our control and are set by your Country’s Government. Any fees relating to importation of goods are solely at the customers expense and Vapour Depot are not liable for any of these charges.

We regularly check the rules and laws for different countries, however because we allow shipping to a country does not necessarily mean that the products that you have purchased are legal in your country of residence. We assume, that before you place an order, you know which laws apply to the goods you are purchasing and you are complying with said laws.

Finally, any goods which are refused by your Country’s customs/import department will only be refunded once they are received back to us, less the postage costs which were applied to your order and any additional fees we may have been charged by the carrier. Additionally, if any of the goods have been opened or damaged then a surcharge may be deducted from your refund.

More information regarding Customs and Importation is available on our Customs & Duty page.
