  • Remote Area: if your geographical location is considered “Remote Area” by DHL, we will not be able to ship your order using either delivery companies (it would require an extra $50aud fee which by default we believe the customer is not willing to pay). So we will automatically revert to EMS, which takes slightly longer, usually 5 to 7 business days. DHL Please use this link (http://dct.dhl.com/) to check whether or not your area is considered remote. (1, Choose and type HongKong as origin; 2, Choose your shipping region as destination; 3, Search and Check whether there is remote area delivery fee; as shown below)
