SHIPPING, DELIVERY AND RETURNS
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
- we partnered with Global-E, a third party service acting as your seller-on-record, so you can buy and ship your GOTTEX products to over 100 destinations worldwide! when you buy the GOTTEX products from Global-E, you will see that your payment method (via mastercard, visa, amex, paypal) is charged by **Global-E//Gottex** and the purchase is subject to Global-E’s terms and conditions and privacy policy (which will be clearly presented in checkout before you place the order). you can contact us at service-gottex@gottexmodels.com.
- due to our partnership with Global-e, we are able to provide all of our shoppers with attractive shipping prices that are calculated during checkout and are based on a number of factors, the destination country, the number of items you’ve purchased and the total weight of your parcel. you will be able to see the exact shipping costs in your preferred currency during your checkout process.
- most in-stock items are prepared on the same day basis and generally arrive between 3 to 7 days. occasionally, shipping can take as long as 21 days based on your destination and selected shipping method. you will of course be provided with a more accurate timeframe upon checkout. please note that while we do our best efforts to deliver your purchase within the estimated timeframe. dispatch and delivery times are based on estimation only and are not guaranteed.
- please be aware that import duties and taxes may apply upon receipt of orders shipped outside of the european union. such duties and taxes are beyond our control as they are set by the customs authority of your destination country and depend on a number of factors such as country of origin of the purchased product, local VAT rates, and local import taxes. it will be your responsibility to pay them if and when asked by your local authorities.
- however, for certain shipping methods, we may be able to support calculation and pre-payment of such duties and taxes. shipping methods that support pre-payment (via MasterCard, Visa, Amex, PayPal) of duties and taxes will be marked as such during checkout, so you can easily identify them. should you choose to use this option and prepay duties and taxes as part of your checkout process, you will be provided with a 100% guaranteed total amount for your order (including all applicable delivery charges, duties, and taxes).
- GOTTEX is not responsible for any delays caused by matters not under its full direct control, including without limitation due to destination customs clearance processes, delays caused by the shipping company, etc.
