Why are the shipping costs to my country so high?

Shipping costs to other countries are higher because the package has to travel a greater distance. At Celtic WebMerchant, external delivery services set these rates based on the border the package crosses.

• Transport costs: It takes more fuel and time to ship a package abroad than within the Netherlands.
• Cooperation between postal companies: For international deliveries, the Dutch delivery service often has to work with a local delivery service. Both companies want to be compensated for their work.

Surcharges: For some countries or remote areas, delivery services charge an extra fee for delivery.
