    3. Shipping outside Greece, (whether within the European Union or beyond) is normally operated by DHL. We use a shipping company at our discretion depending on conditions and availability.
      1. Fees within the European Union are calculated automatically depending on your country, area, volume and weight of your package; these fees are payable upon confirmation of your order. Shipping time within the EU is normally 3 to 5 business days. Fees outside the European Union are calculated automatically depending on your country area, volume and weight of your package; these fees are payable upon confirmation of your order. Shipping time outside the EU is normally 5 to 10 business days.
      2. If you place an order and enter a shipping address located outside the EU, import duties, customs, processing, expediting and taxes might incur by the local custom office upon the package’s arrival at the airport of the destination country. We cannot determine beforehand what these duties will entail for each country, whether they would apply in the case of shipping your order or for any possible amount. For further information please contact your local tax authority before completing your order. You are solely responsible for such costs and these fees will not be part of the payment calculation of your order and their existence is not a valid reason for subsequently cancelling an order, after it has been shipped. You should note that many of those fees cannot be reimbursed or refunded even if an order is legitimately returned back to us in Greece.
