First off, a big thank you for vising our site. We appreciate your interest in Scrapbooking Made Simple and what our small Mom and Pop Shop has to offer.
We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.
We currently ship exclusively via USPS. USPS is currently restricting shipments to several countries including Australia and New Zealand. At this time, we are unable to ship these orders. If you package needs to ship to a restricted country, thank you so much for your order, but we have no clear time frame when USPS will resend these restrictions. We do not offer UPS or FedEx as alternate shipping options.
Shipping charges are based on the merchandise total (excluding Gift Certificates) according to the following:
US Domestic Rates
Order Total Charge
Up to $49.99 $8.95
All orders $50.00 and over ship FREE in the US with the exception of any Die Cutting, Foiling, Embossing Machines & 5" and 6" Simply Defined Tape. Please see of each these items for the shipping rate as each product may have a different shipping charge based on weight and size.
We do not ship any Machines to customers outside of the US due to the high cost of shipping unless you are on a US Territory or US Military Base.
International Rates
We generally ship International Orders via USPS Flat Rate Envelopes. We will fit as much as possible but it may be necessary to ship your items in a box. If this is the case, shipping is determined by weight and size of the package and can range from $34.95 on up. We can use a flat rate box as well. The advantage of the flat rate box is that we can ship many more items as the price is not based on weight. If you are looking to purchase many Sizzix dies (excluding the XL Cutting Plates) this is a great option for you.
International orders will ship complete. This means that it may take longer to ship than the 30 days if a product is out of stock and back ordered by a manufacturer. We have no control over products back ordered by a manufacturer however, we will ship just as soon as the product arrives.
Please note, if at all possible, your shipping rate WILL BE ADJUSTED to a lower rate and you will be refunded the difference prior to your order being shipped. The current International Shipping rates calculated by our software are incorrect and most often higher than the actual rate you will be charged. Your invoice will NOT reflect the lower rate however, you will receive an email confirming a refund to yur account if the rate can be lowered.
In addition, the International Shipping Rate charged may not cover the cost of shipping the items to you. Scrapbooking Made Simple reserves the right to contact you should the shipping charged not be enough to cover the cost of the shipping charged to us by USPS. At this time, you will have the option of paying the additional shipping fees or cancelling your order. We have done our very best to insure that the rates charged will cover all costs but we appreciate your understanding if your order is the exception.
Scrapbooking Made Simple is not responsible for Customs, Value Added Tax, or any duty or tax added once the package arrives to your country. We will not put any other value on your package other than the actual value of the merchandise.
