Units used. Why we use weight for ordering.
PerfumersWorld TM uses weight not volume (ml or cc) as volume changes with temperature.
For this reason when you make perfume commercially we urge you use only weight to measure your materials.
1 oz. = 28.4 grams
1 lb. = 454 grams
10 grams = 1/3 oz.
Shipping & Packing charges with guaranteed delivery are calculated as follows;
- Basic shipping charge by registered air parcel: $20.00. Delivery 14-28 days.
- Plus $0.50 bottling/packing charge per item.
- Plus $0.01/gram weight adjustment.
- Optional Courier service charge: plus $20/order. Delivery 7-14 days.
- Packing - 12 grams or less come in Amber dropper bottles, packed in sealed plastic containers. Larger sizes come in aluminium containers or steel drums. Please note the rubber teats on our dropper bottles are designed for active use and on long term storage, particularly in a warm room, will decay. Tip: Replace the inner caps supplied while not in use.
- Times based on typical worldwide shipping times from order payment confirmation to delivery.
- In the event that the 1) order is low weight 2) less than 10 items and 3) the destination does not have a specially high shipping rate, we will reduce the basic shipping charge accordingly. This adjustment is done manually after your order is checked.
- As we supply these materials for educational purposes to students of perfumery they are rarely held up in Europe, US or Japan by customs. As customs clearance can depend on individual officers discretion it is the students responsibility to clear them if it does happen.
- Note: as with all international shipments to African, Indian and South American countries materials are often inspected at customs and may require an unofficial "clearing" payment.
-
We include an invoice and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) in the package for shipping and clearing purposes in the unlikely event that they are required. The invoice with the shipment may be based on the insurance value of the materials without the service or educational components included.
- We never aim to make money from the shipping charges and subsidise the shipping charges on over 90% of shipments.
