SHIPPING OPTIONS

You will be able to choose your shipping method at the time of checkout. All shipping charges are final; in other words, you will never have to pay more for shipping than what you see when checking out.

All Domestic orders are shipped via USPS or UPS the choice is yours. International Customers have the choice of UPS or DHL. We highly recommend using DHL as postal deliveries are not very reliable at this time.

Customs

You may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. Additionally, when ordering from TheBeadTraders.com, you are considered the importer of beads and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods. Customs forms for all international packages list the value of your order's contents as Beads.
