This acknowledgement is recorded at the time of purchase.

We strongly recommend enabling Shipping Insurance on every order.

Shipping Insurance is a Final Sale item

Shipping Insurance is enabled in the cart and activated at the moment your order is dispatched. It is a non-refundable, non-transferable service. As a fully consumed protection product, it cannot be returned or refunded regardless of whether a claim has been filed. Please refer to our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details.

Customs, Duties & Import Taxes

ombrellae ships all orders internationally from Hong Kong. Depending on your country of residence, your order may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, and handling fees levied by your country's customs authorities upon entry.

Customer's responsibility

All import duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

These charges are not included in the product price or shipping fee and are not collected by ombrellae.

Refusal to pay customs duties does not entitle the customer to a refund of the product or original shipping costs.

What we do

All shipments are accompanied by accurate customs documentation including commercial invoice and HS codes.

We declare the accurate and honest value of all shipments. We do not undervalue or misdeclare goods.

We will assist you with any customs documentation queries where possible.

Customs delays

Customs processing times vary significantly by country and are entirely outside our control. Delays caused by customs clearance do not qualify for a refund or compensation. If your parcel is held, you will typically be contacted directly by your local customs office or postal authority.

No VAT applicable

BULKECOM LIMITED is registered in Hong Kong, which operates a zero-rate goods and services tax regime. No VAT or GST is charged on your order at checkout by ombrellae. However, VAT or equivalent taxes may be applied by your country's customs authorities on import — this is the responsibility of the customer.

Shipping Address Accuracy

You are solely responsible for providing a complete, accurate, and deliverable shipping address at checkout. Please double-check your address — including apartment numbers, postal codes, and country — before completing your order.

Address errors

Address corrections can only be made before dispatch.

ombrellae cannot be held liable for non-delivery or misdelivery resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer. If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us immediately at info@ombrellae.com with your order number.

Once an order has been handed to the carrier, we are unable to redirect or modify the delivery address. Any additional shipping costs incurred by a redelivery attempt will be the customer's responsibility.

PO Boxes & remote addresses

We are unable to deliver to PO Boxes for Express shipping orders. Standard shipping to PO Boxes is available in select countries — if in doubt, please contact us before placing your order. Deliveries to remote or rural addresses may require additional transit time beyond standard estimates.

Shipping Issues, Delays & Lost Parcels

We take shipping issues seriously. If your order does not arrive within the expected timeframe, or arrives in an unexpected condition, please follow the steps below.

Delayed delivery

If your order has not arrived within 10 business days of dispatch confirmation (standard) or 5 business days (express), contact us at info@ombrellae.com with your order number.

We will liaise with the carrier on your behalf and provide an update within 2 business days.

Damaged on arrival

If your order arrives visibly damaged, do not discard the packaging. Photograph the outer packaging and item, and contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

See our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details on damaged item claims.

Lost parcel procedure

A parcel is considered lost when formally confirmed by the carrier — not simply delayed.

If tracking shows no movement for an extended period, we will open a formal investigation with the carrier on your behalf. Carrier investigations typically take 15–30 business days to conclude. A replacement or refund will only be issued once the carrier has formally confirmed the loss in writing.

Standard shipping

Report no-delivery after 10 business days from dispatch. We open a carrier investigation immediately.

Express shipping

Report no-delivery after 5 business days from dispatch. Express carrier investigations are typically faster.

Shipping Insurance

If you enabled Shipping Insurance ($2.99) in your cart, your claim will be processed on a priority basis with 100% guaranteed coverage — no carrier investigation required. If you did not enable Shipping Insurance, resolution timelines are subject to the carrier's investigation process and ombrellae cannot guarantee a replacement or refund.

Carrier Liability & ombrellae's Responsibility

Once an order has been dispatched and a tracking number issued, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer and responsibility for delivery passes to the appointed carrier. ombrellae's obligations as a seller are fulfilled at the point of dispatch.
