Shipping Policy

Processing Time

All orders are typically processed within 1 to 3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email. Express Delivery Orders received before 2:00 Eastern Time are shipped the same day.  You will receive another notification when your order has shipped. 

Potential delays in delivery may occur during holiday seasons due to high volumes of delivery items at the post office. 

We use USPS (United States Postal Service) and DHL Express Service  for deliveries. Postal service problems are outside our control.

International Duties & Taxes.

Duties, taxes, VAT, custom charges are not included in pricing or delivery fees. Please contact your taxing authority to determine what fees or taxes may apply to your order and how collection is handled.

Please consider that for our EU customers as July 1, 2021 Beginning July 1, the EU is imposing new VAT rules related to e-commerce so that all goods imported direct to customers in the EU will be subject to value-added tax (VAT), removing current exemptions on lower-value goods. The immediate impacts is that VAT will be collected directly from the consumer upon delivery. If VAT chargers are not paid upon delivery, the shipment will be abandoned by the carrier, and Last Inca Depot will not be responsible for issuing a refund.
