ABBAMAIL is based in Australia and the Australian Government has introduced a Goods and Services Tax (GST). ABBAMAIL chose to absorb the cost of this tax and pay it ourselves rather than raising our prices.

If you're ordering ABBAMAIL merchandise and you live in Australia, you'll be pleased to know that we are paying the cost of GST for your orders. This means you don't pay any additional costs for the GST.

If you live outside Australia, the GST does not apply to you but the amount is not deducted from your order. Instead it is used towards covering part of the costs of posting your order via airmail. While you only pay 15% extra for airmail postage and packaging on any ABBAMAIL order, the real costs can be significantly higher - up to 40% in some cases.

Customs and Duty

If you live outside Australia, your ABBAMAIL order may have customs and duty charges levied on it when it arrives in your country. These charges are your responsibility and must be paid for by you. The charges vary dramatically from country to country - from nothing to very expensive. Countries like Belgium, Norway and Denmark not only levy charges but can also delay the delivery of your parcel for weeks while they decide how much to charge. ABBAMAIL has no control or involvement with customs and duty charges and cannot advise how much you will have to pay.
