We use Courier Guys and Fastway to send most of our Local orders.
Sugar Apple reserves the right to use discretion in any circumstance where it makes more sense to use an alternative delivery method.

All our delivery charges are pre-set by our courier company. We sell some oversized items which require a specialist courier company to fulfill the delivery, there is an additional charge for these. Also, our courier company considers some surcharge postcodes ‘Out of area’. There is an additional charge for these.

Customs and import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.
Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the cost might be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. It might be a good idea to contact your local customs office for current charges before you order, so you are not surprised by charges you were not expecting.
The customer must take full liability for any parcels returned to us due to unpaid customs charges. Postal charges, return shipment costs, customs charges and handling fees will all be deductible from any refund due.

Each country has its own unique import procedures, which are subject to change. If you have an order held in customs then please contact our customer service team with your order number and tracking number, via email. We will do our very best to help resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
