Shipping Costs
The shipping costs will depend on the total weight/volumetric weight of a package, the country of destination and the chosen shipping method. Please notice that products have a netto weight and shipping weight, which are different - we do our best to make this very clear with showing the shipping weight at our product pages.

Shipping Weight
The maximum weight of package is 30 kg. If you order more than 30 kg., an additional package will be added to your shipment. If you have extra space available in your package, we advise you to combine your order with those of other people living nearby. The weight of the package will be calculated automatically when adding to cart and the shipping cost is calculated automatically accordingly. You can conveniently track the weight of your order by utilizing the "Optimize Shipping" bar located in the top right corner of the site. Be advised that NORDIC EXPAT SHOP retain the possibility to divide an order into more packages should it be an advantage for the shipment without any extra cost for the customer.

Before a package is shipped, you must take into account a maximum of three (3) business days processing time per order. This is because we pride ourselves in taking exceptional care of your products by using high quality and extremely durable packaging materials.

We strive to have your order ready for shipment and delivered to Postnord (DPD), FedEx or DHL within three (3) business days.

Any consequential expenses incurred shall be borne by the Customer. Regrettably, NORDIC EXPAT SHOP does not possess any authority or capability to exert influence over customs charges and we are unable to anticipate their exact amount.

Import Regulations and Restrictions to different countries
Import regulations vary among countries and undergo continuous revisions. It is imperative that you take personal accountability by contacting your local customs or tax office to ascertain the permissible importation of specific products prior to placing an order with NORDIC EXPAT SHOP. Similarly, it is the responsibility of the recipient to provide the necessary documentation if requested by the recipient during a customs inspection. Please note that the shipping time does not encompass any duration during which a package might be held in customs. Consequently, we cannot assume responsibility for orders that are confiscated, detained, or incur additional customs duties.

Delivering Chocolate to hot countries
We extend a warm welcome to customers residing in hotter climates who wish to order chocolate and confectionery. However, it is important to acknowledge that engaging in such orders carries inherent risks. To ensure the preservation of chocolate during transportation to warmer regions, we have conducted extensive testing on various packaging methods. Unfortunately, our findings have revealed that the utilization of ice packs has detrimental effects on the chocolate, resulting in the formation of a white layer and generating condensation that may potentially harm other items within the package. We remain committed to finding a solution that enables all our valued customers to relish our delectable chocolate and confectionery products. Nonetheless, it is vital to note that we presently do not offer refunds for chocolate items that have melted as a consequence of heatwaves or high temperatures.
