Product Information

Every care has been taken to ensure that all descriptions, measurements, colours and prices are correct. Measurements given are approximate. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of colour reproduction, colours may vary. Because some items are hand-made from natural materials there will be slight variations from item to item.

We try very hard to ensure that all items featured on this site are in stock or are available to order. However, due to the vast number of items featured, discontinued or out of stock items may not be removed immediately. If an item is unavailable, we reserve the right to substitute the item for a similar product at no extra cost to you. However, if you are unhappy with the substituted item, you can return the product at no extra cost to you. (Please see the ‘Returns Policy’ section).

We endeavour to ship items with at least a 3 month use by date on. This is not always possible – some items have naturally short use by dates.

Products come with a Manufacturer’s Warranty where applicable. If product is covered by a Manufacturer’s Warranty and the product needs returning, overseas customers are responsible for shipping product to and from HaB International. (UK customers are covered for shipping costs of returned goods providing goods are deemed faulty.)

Delivery Costs Following Brexit

For UK customers: Brexit does not affect your online purchases and you can continue to shop as usual.

For International Customers:

The price you pay to HaB Direct will exclude all relevant import duties and sales taxes. As the recipient of the order, you must pay these duties and taxes directly to release your order from Customs.

We are not able to advise you on the exact cost of duties and taxes and would therefore recommend you contact your local Customs office or tax authority before placing an order.

1. Customs Duty fees and Taxes are not included in your order total. All duties and/or taxes are the responsibility of the customer and are not paid for by HaB Direct. HaB Direct and the shipping company are not responsible for these extra charges which are set by your local country, and we have no control over them.

2. You are now liable for all Customs Duty and Taxes payable locally to your country of delivery. These charges are extra and are not covered by the shipping charge or cost of the goods. Ensure you check your local Duty and Taxes before placing an order for international delivery so that you are aware of the additional costs that you must pay your country.

3. Online purchases for delivery to addresses within the European Union will no longer be subject to UK VAT (as per the rest of the world), effective 1 January 2021.
