How long does delivery take?
For orders placed before 2 pm AEST, where your item is in stock, we endeavour to have these processed and shipped within the same business day.
Australian orders will be sent via Australia Post. Currently, Express shipping is 1-3 business days and Standard shipping is 2-6 business days.
We currently offer two options for international orders, DHL registered express post (3-10 business days) or Australia Post Standard International service (10-15 business days).
Do you ship internationally?
We currently offer two options for international orders, DHL registered express post (3-10 business days) or Australia Post Standard International service (10-15 business days). These are sent from our Australian Head Office and can be shipped to a residential or commercial postal address only - we are unable to ship to a PO BOX. With DHL, your service is fully customisable and can be managed via the DHL website using the airway bill emailed at the time of shipment. The Australia Post Standard service cannot be updated once the order has been shipped, and any changes or updates once the order has been shipped are not possible.
All shipments will require a signature upon delivery to ensure safe delivery of your items. If you wish to change this (DHL Shipments only), please contact DHL directly stating your AWB tracking number to arrange alternate delivery options. Custom fees as well as any taxes that are associated with the purchase, are the customer's responsibility.

We are unable to take responsibility for any lost parcels once they have left our warehouse. However, we will do our best to assist you in the tracking of items where necessary your item. Please contact our customer care team at info@sylkswim.com for assistance. Shipping costs are non-refundable.
Will I have to pay for duties & taxes?
Please be aware that all countries have different laws regarding the importation of certain products and taxes etc., and our orders designated for shipment to countries outside of Australia may be subject to import fees of which we have no control over and are unable to provide estimates of, as they differ widely from country to country. We cannot take any responsibility for the payment of import fees, taxes or other associated import costs to any country, as these costs are the responsibility of the recipient - where you have concerns regarding this, as your purchase amount is over the countries declared threshold, we recommend you contact your local Customs office for current charges before placing your order or visiting a duty calculation website such as https://www.simplyduty.com
Do you ship to USA?
Recent tariff adjustments and the upcoming removal of the de minimis threshold, mean that all orders shipped to the United States will be subject to additional charges from May 2nd. Due to the uncertainty around these changes, we have decided to pause all shipments to the United States from April 23rd. If you have had your eye on a special piece, we recommend placing your order prior to April 23rd 8.00PM PST.
These tariffs are imposed by the United States government and as they currently stand, will apply to all products across our catalogue. Our pieces, designed in and shipped from Australia are ethically manufactured in China, Bali and Turkey. Once we have determined a clear path forward that best serves you, our valued community, we will recommence our shipments to the United States.
We understand that this may affect your future purchasing decisions, and we are committed to transparency and providing you with the best service possible. If you have any questions regarding the new tariffs or how they may impact your orders, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at info@sylkswim.com.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you.
