Where do you ship to? Does Artisan Ideas ship internationally?

ArtisanIdeas.com offers online ordering to customers in every country of the world.

*Any taxes, VAT, customs duties or other charges are the responsibilty of the customer.

The two most common and economical methods for sending foreign orders are:

* USPS Global Priority Mail.

Most orders can be shipped using either the US Post Office's a) Global Priority flat rate envelope or the b) Global Priority flat rate box, depending on the size and weight of the item(s) ordered.

Most books, except for thick or oversize ones will fit into a flat rate envelope. The flat rate envelope can sometimes contain two or more small books or several DVDs. Orders for several books will be shipped using a flat rate box. Larger orders will need 2 or more flat rate boxes, or may need to be shipped in a larger box (not the flat rate box). The price of the Post Ofice's flat rate services is much more economic than other shipping methods and delivery times are usually from 12 to 15 business days for Canada and Europe and up to 25 days for other countries.
