A practical guide to buying across borders
Compare the full cost, delivery details and return arrangements before you order.
Start with the destination. A store’s home country does not establish where it ships or where a parcel will be dispatched. Check the delivery page for your exact country and postcode, then read the estimated dispatch and transit times separately.
Compare the total cost in one currency: product price, shipping and any import charges shown at checkout. Your payment provider may apply a conversion fee. A low item price alone does not establish the cheapest order.
Read the return address, return period and who pays return shipping. Check whether restrictions apply to your product type. Save the product description, order confirmation and contact details so you have a useful record if you need support.
