We offer a variety of international shipping options designed
to assure reliable delivery at a reasonable cost.
UPS
. For shipments outside the continental US,
standard delivery is by UPS. Delivery is usually in 3-5 business
days (absent delay in customs clearance) and each shipment is
fully trackable in the UPS system. Our Standard International
UPS charge is $35, but the destination country or
the size and weight of the package often result in a higher shipping
cost. You will be notified prior to shipment if additional charges
are necessary and you will have the opportunity to approve the
charges or cancel the order.
Access
USA Forwarding Service. We have partnered with Access
USA, a leading international mail forwarder, to provide substantial
savings on our international shipments to Access USA members.
For international customers that foresee making either large or
repeated purchases from US companies, the resulting savings in
shipping costs often more than offset the annual cost of Access
USA membership.
Access USA members are provided a US street address that is used
to receive mail and merchandise from US shippers. Access USA receives
merchandise, repackages & consolidates it with other purchases
and forwards it to the member's country of origin. In this way
members benefit from Access USA's negotiated pricing with DHL
and FedEx International, which is materially below our regular
international shipping rates. As an added bonus, Access USA members
can purchase merchandise from other US companies that normally
do not ship overseas. Click here
for more information about Access USA.
To
take advantage of the cost savings from Access USA membership,
you must first become an Access USA member and then place your
order with Laptop Travel. You will pay only our domestic shipping
rates, and Access USA's rate calculator will tell you what the
additional international shipping cost will be. The weights of
most of our products are shown on the product page; add one pound
(.45 kg) for additional packaging cost to calculate the total
shipment weight.
Canadian
Orders. We ship to our Canadian customers via
UPS. Express service takes 2 - 3 days and is priced at $35.
Standard service takes 7 - 10 days and is priced at $15. Duty
and tax are not included in these prices and are the responsibility
of the customer. PLEASE NOTE that UPS imposes
an additional brokerage fee for customs clearance on standard
shipping orders. This fee varies based on the product(s) being
delivered in Canada but can be significant and is also the customer's
responsibility.
APO
and FPO Addresses. We ship internationally to PO
boxes only for US Postal Service shipments to APO and FPO addresses.
We cannot be responsible for late deliveries or package loss or
theft on such shipments.
Duties
and Taxes.
Recipients of international orders are responsible for local import
duties and taxes, if any. We declare the total value of items
purchased (excluding shipping costs) for customs purposes. Please
note that we do not calculate or estimate these local charges
and that they can be significant in relation to the value of your
order.
Shipping
Times. Although we generally ship the same day we receive
an order, there are often slight delays on international orders
to clarify credit card issues or to obtain authorization for higher
shipping costs. We do not ship on holidays or weekends so orders
received shortly before a holiday or weekend will not ship until
the first business day following. We request your phone number,
e-mail address and/or fax number so we can contact you with questions
about your order.
Delivery
Delays. PLEASE NOTE that we cannot
be responsible for delays in delivery caused by bad weather, carrier
error, customs or administrative clearances or other causes beyond
our control and do not refund shipping charges in case of such
delays. |
