Outside the US, VAT or GST taxes are often charged to the consumer, and inspection fees have been known to be billed to recipients in Spain, Portugal and Greece.

If using FedEx or DHL, this VAT or GST will also have a processing fee.

Please contact help@yunomi.life before ordering to arrange this.

DHL & FedEx shipping normally takes 3-7 days to most locations around the world. Postal Airmail may take 2 - 4 weeks, and EMS (the post office's internationa express method) can take 5-10 days depending on your location. Shipping times are not guaranteed though as customs clearance may delay any shipment.

If you have used a shipping method that comes with tracking we do provide a Delivery Guarantee.

In general, sales are final due to the international nature of shipping. Returns may be accepted if a product is unwanted if the return shipment is paid for by the recipient.

If an order is canceled by the customer, the system may take about a week to actually show the refund on your bank records. It tends to be quicker if the cancellation and refund is initiated by our admin.

For defective or damaged goods, refunds may be requested. A photograph of the damage must be submitted within 7 days of delivery. For physical goods such as ceramic tea pots, a defect must be greater than 1 cm in length.

In some cases, it may not be clear whether there is a defect in the product. If so, you may return the product at your own expense for our evaluation. In such case, keep your receipt for the shipping cost. If the product is defective, we will credit you for the cost of shipping and the cost of the product.
