- Transportation or logistical delays.
- Severe weather or unexpected disruptions.
- Destination-specific shipping restrictions.
- Higher-than-usual order volumes.
Where applicable, destination-specific shipping information will be displayed during checkout or provided through your order updates.

Shipping charges are determined by your delivery destination and the shipping options available for your order.
The applicable shipping fee will be displayed at checkout before you complete payment.
Any free-shipping offers, promotional shipping rates or special delivery arrangements will be displayed on our website or during checkout when applicable.
We recommend reviewing the final order summary before completing your purchase.
4. International Shipping
Seraphine Scents serves selected international markets, subject to product availability, shipping eligibility and destination-specific requirements.
International shipments may be subject to customs clearance, import regulations and local requirements.
Depending on your destination, your order may also be subject to:
