International Shipping FAQ

Q) Do you ship internationally?
A) RJ Bowers is pleased to ship to countries worldwide. If UPS, FEDEX or the US Post Office delivers to your country, we will usually ship to it.

Q) How do I determine shipping rates?
A) There is no obligation to purchase unless you complete the transaction; so feel free to add things to your shopping cart. If you would like to place a large order, please e-mail us and ask us to quote the shipping. For large orders, we are often able to save considerable sums on shipping costs.

Q) How long will it take to deliver?
A) We ship out our international orders quickly. If an item is in stock, it will normally be sent out the next day. After that, it depends on the method of delivery you have chosen when you place your order. For Europe, it can take as little as 3 days and as long as one to two months depending on the method of shipping selected.

Q) Can I get a tracking number for my shipment?
A) We strongly suggest you select a shipping option that provides a tracking number. Without a tracking number, there is a greater risk of an order getting lost.

Q) What payments does RJ Bowers accept for International orders?
A) We accept credit cards. If you live in a low risk country and you are placing a small order and we are shipping to the address listed on your credit card then we will usually just charge your credit card. In many other cases, we require payment in advance via wire transfer.

Q) Will I still have to pay duties on my package?
A) Duties are not included in our pricing. All importation charges will be paid by you.

Q) When picking a shipping method for APO or FPO address, which country do I select?
A) Always select the United States as the country of destination so the proper shipping options are presented.
