Victorian 15ct Gold Rectangular Shaped Locket

To ensure as smooth and pain-free an experience as possible, we calculate all applicable customs, taxes and duties at checkout and add them to the total cost of the order.

In doing so, we take on the responsibility of shipping logistics and customs clearances (using the DDP shipping arrangement) so you don't have to. Most importantly, it means your item/s will be with you as quickly as possible.

GST (Goods and Services Tax) - 10%

A broad-based 10% consumption tax levied on most goods, services and imports, collected at each stage of production with input-tax credits to avoid “tax-on-tax.” It replaced the wholesale sales tax in July 2000.

Australia Import Declaration Charge

A government-imposed fee levied by the Australian Border Force to cover the cost of processing your import declaration, charged per declaration and tiered by consignment value and lodgement method.

Australia Import Processing Charge

A government fee applied by the Australian Border Force to cover the cost of processing your import declaration, with the amount varying by consignment value, lodgement type (electronic vs documentary) and cargo channel (sea/air/post).

DHL Duty Tax Paid Fee

The DHL Duty Tax Paid Fee is DHL’s service charge for fronting any import duties and taxes owed on a shipment so that it can clear customs immediately, rather than waiting for the recipient to pay; in practice, DHL pays the government on the customer’s behalf and then adds a small handling fee—typically a fixed amount or a modest percentage of the duties advanced—for this convenience and faster clearance.

Ring sizing adds approximately 2-3 days to the delivery estimate.

You must pay for the return postage and any taxes and duties applied.

Contact us within 30 days of receipt of the item to let us know of your intention to return the item/s.

We strongly recommend that you return the item/s via DHL Express Worldwide as we are not responsible for items that do not reach us. Import tax/duty may also be applied by UK customs if the item/s are not shipped correctly.

Return the item/s to us within the original packaging (including padded envelope). Attach the DHL return label supplied with your order to the outside of the parcel. If you are only returning part of your order, we will need to send you a new DHL return label.

Drop off the parcel at your nearest DHL Service Point, and hand the shipper the Antique Declaration that was attached to the outside of the original DHL envelope. Please request a copy from us if this has been misplaced.

Please be aware that taxes and duties are NOT refunded for shipments to Australia.

You have 60 days to exchange or part-exchange an item.
Please contact us to discuss your specific arrangements.
