In case your order shall be sent to a country outside the EU, all prices are net prices excluding any VAT and excluding any service charge and/or sales tax, if any, depending on the carrier and on the country of destination. Pursuant to applicable law VAT and service charge, if any, are usually to be paid to the carrier at/after delivery of the goods to the specified destination.

4. Delivery and shipment

Delivery address

Unless agreed otherwise, delivery will be made to the delivery address stated by you when placing your order.

Within the United States, we offer delivery to PO Boxes for purchases made through our U.S. online shop.

Outside the United States, we are not able to deliver to PO boxes or DHL Packstationen since our chosen courier and shipment method requires a signature of receipt by the recipient for all deliveries.

Carrier

Delivery will be made via a carrier of our choice. However, we reserve the right to offer a choice between different carriers and/or different forms of shipping. You bear the shipping costs which depend on the weight of the ordered goods, the chosen form of shipping and the delivery address. We do our very best to keep your shipping costs within a reasonable range, but we only offer traceable courier services as all our goods are highly fragile and should reach you in the best and fastest way possible.

Import

Please note that when ordering from Polaroid, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you will receive the goods. You are responsible for assuring that the goods can be lawfully imported to the destination country and for payment of possible import duties and possible handling fees.

Tracking order

You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number as soon as your order has been shipped. This is the most accurate way to check up on your order.

You can also see the status of your order by logging into your Polaroid account.

Damage during shipment

Should your shipment arrive at your delivery address damaged, please do not accept the shipment, or have the courier confirm the damage. Since courier services will not accept damage complaints that are filed at a later date, we will not be able to offer compensation or replacement in such cases.

5. Title to the goods

Property in the goods passes at the time of delivery to you or to a third party indicated by you. At the same time the risk of deterioration in the goods passes to you.

Any goods delivered to you or to a third party indicated by you remain Polaroid’s property until they have been fully paid for. You or such third party indicated by you are/is obligated to handle the goods with due care until title in them has been transferred to you or such third party indicated by you.
