United States: Standard Shipping is free — sea freight to the U.S. (about 12–18 days) plus local delivery (3–7 days), about 17–25 days in total. Or choose Expedited Air from $20 — air freight to our U.S. hub (10–15 days) plus local delivery (2–5 days), about 12–20 days in total.

EU VAT is typically included for standard packages; UK and other non-EU duties are generally not included. Swords over 1.18 m follow an oversized exception.
