USA ORDERS
What’s Changed with Shipping?
We absolutely love our USA community, and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support.
To make things as seamless as possible for you, we now offer two clear shipping options when placing your order:
1. Australia Post Standard – $20 AUD
- Same-Day Dispatch (Excluding Pre-Orders)
- Delivery in 7-12 business days
- Duties and taxes calculated at checkout (tariffs approx. 30-35% of your order value)
2. Australia Post Express – $25 AUD
- Same-Day Dispatch (Excluding Pre-Orders)
- Delivery in 5-8 business days
- Duties and taxes calculated at checkout (tariffs approx. 30-35% of your order value)
Why Costs Have Changed
The US government has recently changed its import rules. Before, smaller orders could enter without extra fees, but now all parcels coming from overseas are taxed. This is why duties and tariffs are added to every order shipped from Australia to the USA. What we have done to ensure a seamless shopping experience for our USA community:
- No surprise fees — everything is calculated at checkout
- Faster delivery options if you need them
- Reliable tracking so you can shop with confidence.
Thank you again for your love and support across the ocean – it means the world to us. We’re so grateful to have you as part of our SANCIA family.
