Individual package cannot exceed the following limits:

weight: 22 kg
length: 1.05 m
dimension: 0.25 cubic metres
maximum girth of 200cm

The formula for working out the girth of your overseas parcel is:
Width + height x 2 = girth

For example: 30cm + 20cm = 50cm x 2 = 100cm girth

If a package exceeds our weight or dimension & girth restrictions, we will notify you and give you the option to either return the item(s) to the overseas merchants at your cost.
