International Shipping / Customs Fees for Online Orders
Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once your package reaches your country. Unfortunately, we are unable to estimate VAT, duties, and taxes. We will ship your package duties and taxes unpaid. Please be aware that these duties and tax are the customer’s responsibility and are beyond our control. We advise that you contact your local customs office for information on these charges should you have any questions.

International Orders Shipped with USPS
Once a USPS package arrives in the destination country and is processed through the facility, that is where our tracking ends. If the item is lost after this point, we are unable to offer any assistance and you should contact your local post office/customs department because the original tracking will no longer update once your order has reached the destination country.
If your package has not arrived in your country, please contact us for further assistance.

International Delayed, Missing, or Lost PackagesOnce a package arrives in the destination country, we are unable to offer refunds for missing or lost packages. 

We will not refund any customer whose order did not arrive due to an incorrect shipping address provided to us. We can only refund if the package arrives back to us as a return to sender shipment. 

International shipment and customs delays are possible and unavoidable from our end. If your customs office is slow or backed up, particularly during the holidays, your package can take up to 180 days to arrive. 

What if it is damaged/defective?
If your order arrives damaged or defective, please let us know within 48 hours of receipt of your order and we will ship you a replacement and include a prepaid shipping label for you to return the damaged/defective merchandise.

What if it doesn't fit?
If you did not receive the product or size that you ordered, please notify roots@oaklandish.com with your order number and we will ship you the correct item.

If you received the item that you ordered but decide once it arrives that you need another size, please email us for a return authorization (RMA #) within 30 days of receipt and ship the item back to us with the RMA # clearly noted.
