These restricted countries typically include nations facing political or economic sanctions.

Shipping costs

Shipping costs for international shipments vary depending on several factors, including the courier chosen by the customer, the weight and dimensions of the package, and the destination country. Different couriers offer various shipping services with different pricing tiers, delivery speeds, and levels of service.

Customers can typically choose from a range of shipping options, such as standard shipping, expedited shipping, or express shipping, each with its own associated costs. The weight and dimensions of the package play a significant role in determining shipping costs, as heavier or larger packages may incur higher fees due to increased handling and transportation expenses.

Additionally, the destination country also influences shipping costs, with some countries having higher shipping rates or additional customs duties and taxes.

It's essential for customers to carefully consider their shipping needs and budget when selecting a courier and shipping service for their international shipments. Many shipping carriers provide online calculators or quote tools that allow customers to estimate shipping costs based on package weight, dimensions, and destination, helping them make informed decisions about their shipping options.
