Shipping policy
International shipping
We ship worldwide from Malden, Massachusetts, USA. Most international destinations have two options at checkout:
- International Economy — handed to your national postal service for final delivery, typically 5–20 business days. Our lowest-cost option, tracking included.
- DHL Express — faster, fully tracked, and all import duties and taxes are prepaid. Nothing further to pay on delivery.
Import duties and taxes
Import charges are set by the destination country, not by Millibyte.
DHL Express orders: duties and taxes are prepaid. Nothing further is owed when your parcel arrives.
International Economy orders: your national customs or postal service may charge import VAT, customs duty, and a handling fee before releasing the parcel. These are paid directly to the carrier, not to us. Typical charges:
| Destination | What may be charged on delivery |
|---|---|
| European Union | VAT at your national rate (19–27%), a €3 customs duty, plus a carrier handling fee (typically €5–15) |
| United Kingdom | 20% VAT plus a carrier handling fee (Royal Mail currently charges £8) |
| Norway | 25% VAT plus a carrier handling fee |
| Canada | GST/HST plus a Canada Post handling fee (CAD 9.95) on orders above CAD 20 |
| Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, UAE, Malaysia, Switzerland | Usually nothing. Our order values normally fall below these countries’ import thresholds. |
If you are charged import fees on an International Economy order, we will refund any duty we collected from you at checkout. Email store@millibyte.io with a photo or copy of the charge and we will refund it. You should never pay twice.
We are currently completing EU IOSS and UK VAT registration, which will let us collect these charges at checkout and remit them for you. This page will be updated when that is live.
Insurance
International Economy does not include insurance. If you would like your order covered against loss or damage, please choose DHL Express or contact us before ordering.
