SHIPPING AND DELIVERY COSTS

GDome ships world-wide with DHL Express and other leading couriers. 

Please note that the shipping estimates shown on the site are estimates provided by the DHL Express shipping plugin application based on previous similar shipments. Delivery estimates are not guaranteed. International shipping comes with potential delays, such as customs stops or transit delays. We work with the best couriers, but delays can still take place. 

We ship all of our packages from our HQ in Cape Town, South Africa. 

All of our packages are sent out to you via air freight / courier. 

NB!! Shipping cost!!

We do subsidise (cover a large portion of the cost) the shipping costs so that we can offer you the best service at the best price. We do limit this subsidy to $30 (USD); this is a large contribution, especially for low-value orders. If your shipping total comes to more than $30, we will email you, asking you to give us an alternative (a more central address) or we will give you the option to cover the additional amount (above and beyond the $30 we cover). If you are not happy with this amount, we will refund you in full. 

Free shipping can take as little as 5 working days up to 20 working days for delivery. 

Express shipping with DHL averages 3–7 working days for delivery. 

There are no additional duties or taxes for our United States of America & Australian customers for orders under $600 (USD). 

It is important to know that we cover shipping costs but do not cover local taxes (such as VAT, customs duties, etc.). 

We offer a variety of different shipping options to suit your needs:

These prices are estimated and can be free (depending on the value), its important to know that we cover up to a maximum of $30 for free shipping. If you are in an outlying area, we will contact you with a screenshot of the cost we have sent. If there is an additional amount due above what has been paid, we reserve the right to request additional payment or for us to send the package to a more central location. 

If you are unhappy with this delivery cost, we will refund you in full before the order has been sent.

GDome ships exclusively through leading couriers like DHL Express for International orders.

Insurance for packages is charged separately by DHL, we offer the option to insure your package with Shipping Protection.

By deselecting Shipping Protection, GDome is not liable for items that are lost, damaged, or stolen during shipping. Please refer to your tracking number to get details of where your shipment is. If your package shows it was successfully delivered, and you did not receive it, please contact us the courier company immediately.

- You understand that depending on where you live there may be customs and duties charges

- If you do not pay your local customs and duties, your package will be returned to us

- We have the right to refund you, less all handling, shipping and disbursement costs if you reject the customs charges when it gets to your country.

We take pride in the incredible camera accessories we manufacture and want to offer you the most transparent and market leading customer service available.

3) That the seals are in good condition and sitting where they should.
