International Orders

Due to increasing costs and complications associated with shipping goods to foreign destinations, this website no longer offers international shipping options for goods purchased through the site, itself. Beginning on April 15, 2022 and thereafter, any and all items purchased through this website will be available for U.S.A. delivery, only. Sorry, no exceptions.

Reasons for the above decision were many, but center upon the fact that basic costs for international shipping – together with the necessary costs of insurance against a rising number of damaged or ultimately undelivered parcels – had each continued to increase to the point of unacceptable excess. Further, an increasing number of international orders received through this website were being subsequently cancelled due to the disproportionate costs of shipping and insurance which, in too many instances, proved to be greater than the actual cost of items being purchased. And of course, costs are not the only factor to be taken into consideration.

When any product is purchased through this website, I am thereafter obligated to be certain that product will be successfully delivered to the customer in a timely manner. Regrettably, due to an increasing number of packages sent through a variety of international carriers being either significantly delayed, irreparably damaged, misplaced, lost, or outright stolen, en route, the reality of having to repeatedly replace and re-ship those products, at my own expense — and not to mention the considerable amount of time and effort required to initiate, process, and ultimately recover any resulting insurance claims — the practical realities of delivering goods to international destinations has simply become untenable.

I do of course very much appreciate and thank you for your ongoing interest in my photography. Ultimately, and regrettably, the overall costs and complications associated with reliable and timely delivery of goods to international destinations remains a dilemma over which I have no affirmative control.
