  • DO I HAVE TO PAY DUTY AND IMPORT CHARGES

    • From 1 July 2018, 10% goods and service tax (GST) will be levied by the Australian government on orders under AUD $1,000. For a limited time, we are pleased to pay this on your behalf.

      For all shipping destinations, duty is clearly itemised in your shopping bag and throughout the checkout process. Customers can opt out of paying duty by unticking the 'Pre-pay your duty and tax' box at checkout. If you opt out of paying duty up front, it is your responsibility to pay any applicable charges on delivery.

      If you decide to opt out, the shipping company will contact you by telephone once your items are in customs to let you know the cost. This may delay your delivery time as goods held at customs will be your responsibility to pay the necessary charges for local authorities to release the goods. Please be aware that if you don't choose to pay the import taxes we reserve the right to charge any additional costs incurred by The-Private-Label to you.

      Delivery outside of the EU and to the above listed countries may be subject to local import taxes, which are your responsibility where they apply.Please note, duty is applied as a flat-rate percentage of total item value for all products. If you believe that you have been overcharged for duty please contact Customer Care on +971 52 572 0619 or email [email protected] and we will be happy to investigate the position and refund any difference as appropriate.

      If you are shipping to the US, Customs Duty has been pre-paid for you by The-Private-Label with no additional charges on delivery. Local sales tax will be charged on all orders at checkout in selected states where applicable. It is your responsibility as the customer to report any purchases of tangible personal property that have not been taxed by The-Private-Label and pay use tax on those purchases unless exempt under local State law.

  • HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC ITEM

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF AN ITEM IS IN STOCK

    • Most items shown are in stock. When you roll over a product, you can immediately see its size availability. If a size is greyed out in the rollover, or marked as sold out in the drop-down on the product page, this means the item is out of stock in that size. Items that are not yet in stock may be marked Coming Soon: add these items to your wishlist and you will receive an email when they land. Alternatively, you can inform us of your interest by contacting Customer Care on our whatsapp +971 52 572 0619 — available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
