Fedex 2-Day Express — free on orders over $200. On orders under $200, it can be selected at checkout for an additional fee. Estimated delivery: 2 business days after dispatch.
Import Duties & Customs Fees
For international orders, import duties, customs fees, VAT, and any other charges imposed by your country's customs authority are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These fees are not included in our product prices or shipping charges and are not covered by Simms Research.
Customs policies vary widely by country. We recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order to understand what fees may apply.
Please note: Simms Research is not responsible for any import fees, customs duties, or delays caused by customs clearance. Refusals to pay customs fees do not qualify for a refund or return.
Shipping Rates
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the selected shipping method. Free shipping is available on all orders over $200.
Free Delivery Guarantee on Every Order
Every order includes our Delivery Guarantee at no extra charge. There is nothing to add at checkout. If a package is lost in transit, missing or stolen after a delivery scan, or arrives damaged, contact support@simmsresearch.com with your order number. Please include clear photos if the package or products arrived damaged, and report visible damage within 48 hours of delivery.
We will work with the carrier and replace the affected products at no charge. If a replacement is unavailable, we will refund the affected products and any shipping charge. You do not have to purchase protection or resolve a carrier claim yourself.
The guarantee covers delivery loss, theft, and damage, not delivery delays alone, customs duties, customs holds, or refusal to pay import fees.
Shipping Delays
Delivery estimates may be affected by:
- -Customs inspections
- -Courier issues or disruptions
- -Weather or natural disasters
If your package appears lost or has not arrived after the estimated window, contact us so we can investigate and apply the Delivery Guarantee where appropriate.
