Shipping and Returns

SHIPPING/DELIVERY TIMES

Timeline – We typically finish processing and ship within 3-5 days unless it’s during holidays or weekends when there will be delays due to high volume of orders and the fact that companies do not accept shipments during this time. Express orders received before 12:00pm EDT are processed and shipped within 24hrs.  All express or expedited delivery via FedEx and DHL options are offered at an extra charge. Contact us directly for such requests. As previously stated, no processing and delivery during Saturdays, Sundays or holidays.

Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email notification with tracking information when/if shipment tracking is included.

International Shipping – While we have items that are only available to be shipped within the United States, we also offer worldwide shipping for most of our products. Please note that increased shipping rates apply and the shipping price will automatically adjust to your location. Pricing will vary from country to country. Some of our products are sourced from international suppliers and use the best and most reliable courier service options to get your items to your doorstep affordably (most of the time even for free!), safely and timely.

Loss and Custom Duties – Shipping products internationally has certain inherent risks. The risk of loss and title for merchandise shipped internationally will pass to the customer upon our delivery of the goods to the shipping carrier. Your order subject to duties/taxes/brokerage fees/customs/VAT/importation fees which are levied once a shipment reaches your country and or charged at time of delivery. You will be responsible for paying additional charges for customs clearance; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be and are not responsible for their payment. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. The customer is responsible for those charges at delivery. These should not be confused with additional shipping amounts. The receiving customer is the importer. Usually the carrier will not release a package until those are paid or they (the shipping carrier) may send you a bill at a later date for those fees. Fees vary by each country. Please review and check those before you purchase so you are not surprised later at delivery.

Additionally, when ordering from Mom in Focus, you are the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. You authorize us to designate a carrier to act as your agent with the relevant customs and tax authorities in the destination country, to clear your merchandise and advance on your behalf any duties and taxes owed by you. It is outside our control, but as always, cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.

International Shipping Times – Please understand that international packages will take longer to arrive than domestic orders. Once the package arrives into your country, it will also pass through your customs office which can add time to the delivery. Customs can hold a parcel for several weeks and open up packages for inspections. Usually international packages arrive within 4-6 weeks, yet it can take longer depending on transit times and customs clearance. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do internally to speed up the process. Lost packages are extremely rare, so please allow sufficient time for your package to arrive. If it doesn’t arrive in 60 days, contact us immediately.

Foreign Currency Order Costs – All prices on our site are listed in U.S. Dollars. The exact exchange rate that you will pay is determined by the bank that has issued your credit card.

Refused Shipments – If you decide to refuse any shipments from www.mominfocus.com you are responsible for the original shipping charges to you, any duties/taxes/brokerage fees/customs/VAT/importation fees that are incurred on the package (on both the original and return shipments), and the cost of returning the package to us. This amount will be subtracted from your merchandise credit and if the associated costs exceed the merchandise total, your credit card will be billed for the difference. Moreover, Mom in Focus is NOT responsible for expenses associated with packages that are undeliverable due to incomplete address information, no signature on file, or no recipient at the shipping location provided.

Shipping Cost – Shipping costs are calculated at time of checkout based on order size, weight, shipping time and location.
