FAQ

Shipping costs (Ireland): €6.95 per order. The amount that counts is the value of the products in the basket, VAT included, before any discount. The exact shipping cost is always shown in the basket before payment.

Outside the European Union (& trade associated) some countries may have customs protocols & may apply customs duties (for example, in the US can range between 25-35US$ estimated), please check beforehand with your local authorities.  If there were costs and duties while sending the packet, these are borne by the customer. If the customer does not want to take over customs fees, Optic at Home will not refund or be responsible for the package. To help lessen possible issues & possible delays, please include your telephone number & correct address details when registering (Post Office Boxes addresses are not accepted). In some occasions US Customs Authorities solicit from their citizens that they facilitate their Social Security number to release imported goods.

Orders are shipped from Spain with DHL and GLS. Please enter the address and a contact telephone number correctly to avoid delivery problems.
