Worldwide Shipments

IMPORTANT: International shipments are subject to Duties, Taxes, Broker Fees, and Customs Fees in your country. These EXTRA fees are YOUR responsibility and must be paid upon receipt of the shipment. The rules for these fees vary by country, and your local government determines the duty and customs charges. Customs procedures may delay shipments

Please keep in mind as well that while we do try to ship as many products as we can internationally, certain vendors (i.e. The North Face) do not allow us to ship their products outside of the U.S.. If this is the case, it will say so on the product page, in the shopping cart, and during checkout.
