Shipping Details for Australia

⚠️ Shipping Notice

Current airspace restrictions across the Middle East may result in delays to some orders, and we thank you for your patience and understanding. We are actively monitoring developments and will keep this notice updated as the situation evolves.

Free shipping to Australia, NZ and worldwide

For nearly two decades, we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of customers across 170+ countries extend the life of their favourite sunglasses. While international shipping can take a little longer, we guarantee the quality is worth the wait—and we stand behind every delivery. Please double-check your address details to help avoid any delays.

Updated U.S. Import Tariffs & Duty Information

Important Update – Effective August 29, 2025

The U.S. has suspended the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed goods valued under USD 800 to enter duty-free. From August 29 onward, all shipments to the U.S.—regardless of value or origin—will be subject to import duties and tariffs.

What This Means For You:

  • All U.S.-bound orders are now subject to import duties and tariffs.
  • Australian-made sunglass lenses are subject to a combined 12% tariff and duties charge.
  • To keep things simple, we add this 12% tariff at checkout to avoid additional charges or delays at customs.
  • We are no longer able to ship to U.S. Armed Forces (APO/FPO/DPO) addresses due to updated import restrictions.

Value Added Tax (VAT) for EU customers

From April 1, 2024, Sunglass Fix collects VAT at checkout for all orders to the EU and UK to avoid shipping delays due to unpaid VAT.

Please note that additional VAT charges may apply on delivery. In these cases, please contact us with proof of payment for a refund of the VAT we have collected.

Customs, import or duty fees

Some countries, including member states of the European Union, may impose fees or duties on imported goods, separate from Value Added Tax (VAT). Sunglass Fix does not impose any import duties or fees, nor do we have prior knowledge of these charges for individual countries or shipments. It is the customer's responsibility to pay any additional fees required by local authorities.

Australia:

Australian customers can expect their lenses in 2-5 business days on the east coast. Rural Areas and Western Australia should receive them in 1-2 weeks. Express deliveries should arrive in 2-4 business days and is tracked. Sunglass Fix is not in an express post overnight area. Regardless, Express Post still arrives fast and is a good service for Regional areas and Western Australia customers that need lenses quickly.

International:

We use DHL ecommerce and SEKO global for almost all our international shipments. 

Please don't expect a yellow DHL van to pull up to your house. DHL and SEKO will typically take all packages directly to your country's postal systems for final domestic delivery. We have heavily subsidized shipping cost and offer faster shipments with tracking at a very discounted rate so please consider using them if you want your product faster and tracking is important to you.

We must give the global postal system time to do their job and there is very little we can do to speed them up. 

Note for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE: A Post Office Box is traditionally required for delivery as street addresses are often not accepted by local couriers.

⚠️ SHIPPING ALERT: These countries are currently unavailable due to transit disruptions in the Middle East. We are holding all orders for these regions until stable logistics routes are restored.

Sunglass Fix manufactures and ships all lenses from Australia.  However, we do have return partners in USA and UK to make returns easier for our customers.
