Shipping "small print"
The Australia/International store transacts in $AUD. Therefore other currencies will be subject to an exchange rate conversion, and possibly also conversion fees, which will be calculated and applied by your credit card provider. These are beyond the control of CMI. One of our other webstores may be more suitable for you … New Zealand, Singapore, United States, Canada, United Kingdom and South Africa.
All items will be shipped per Airmail Post.
Rates do not include any charges for customs fees, duties or import taxes, only for the shipping from Australia to the country of delivery. Upon delivery of package any additional customs or import tax fees will be required to be paid by the customer to the relevant authority of the country in which they live.
Warning: As a high percentage of overseas shipments are reported as undelivered, Creation Ministries cannot reship at no charge orders which are sent to overseas destinations.
