shipping & returns

PROCESSING & DELIVERY TIMES

Orders are processed in 2-3 business days. Once processed you will receive your order within 3-10 business days. Delivery of orders will be between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
All orders are shipped by DHL on business days (Monday to Friday) excluding public holidays.

SHIPPING POLICY

We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you are not in when your parcel arrives, the carrier will leave a card telling you how to pick up your order or rearrange delivery.
If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery fulfillment by Ambas and transfer of responsibility in the same way.

We are unable to ship to PO Boxes and military addresses. Ambas is not responsible for delays in shipping or delivery due to force of nature or other uncontrollable events.

CUSTOMS AND IMPORT DUTIES

With regard to deliveries requested in countries outside the European Union, such as Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, UK, and USA any import customs fees will be borne by the recipient.

We are not aware of the amount of customs duties, which will be communicated to you by the courier once the shipment has reached its destination.

Customs policies and charges vary widely from country to country. We recommend that you contact your local customs office for further information. Where customs charges are due, this may impact the time it takes your parcel to reach you. 

Orders shipped to countries outside of EU may incur duties and taxes which are applied by customs. The responsibility for any custom duties, foreign taxes or other fees which may be imposed rest with the customer. Should the customer refuse to pay duties and taxes held on an order applied by customs the responsibility lies with the customer to arrange for the order to be returned to Ambas in order to receive a refund. Customers will be liable for all costs incurred if goods are refused and returned. Refunds will only be issued once return orders have been received.
Please contact your local customs office for more information regarding taxes and duties payable in your region.
