4. Customs Duties, Import Taxes & Fees

For orders shipped outside the United Kingdom, including the European Union and Iceland, customs duties, import taxes, VAT, and any additional fees imposed by local authorities are the sole responsibility of the customer.

These charges are determined by the destination country’s customs authorities and are not included in the product price or shipping cost displayed at checkout.

Scent of the Dunes has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. We are not liable for any customs fees, delays, holds, or refusals caused by customs clearance procedures.

If a customer refuses to pay applicable customs charges and the parcel is returned or abandoned, no refund will be issued for shipping costs, and additional fees may be deducted from any eligible refund.

5. Order Notifications

Customers will receive email updates for:

  • Order confirmation
  • Order dispatch (including tracking details where available)

6. Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Parcels

Your order remains our responsibility until it is delivered to you (or to someone you have nominated to receive it). If your parcel is lost or arrives damaged, please contact us as soon as possible at hello@sotdunes.co.uk, with photos of any damage, and we will arrange a replacement or a refund and deal with the courier ourselves.

Delivery timeframes are estimates. If your parcel is delayed, contact us and we will chase the courier for you. Delays caused by customs checks on international orders are outside our control.

7. Changes to This Policy

Shipping rates, delivery promotions, courier services, and destinations may change from time to time.

Any updates to this Shipping Policy will be posted on this page. We encourage customers to review it regularly before placing an order.
