Shipping
🇺🇸 Attention US customers:
Australian Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend postal services to the US due to the new 10% tariff on Australian products.
This is as a result of the recent suspension of the "de minimis USD$800 threshold exemption". Duties for imported goods must now be prepaid and Australia Post is scrambling to set this system up! AusPost have informed us that the suspension should be lifted on or before 25th September, 2025.
Karen has made a decision to absorb the cost of this new tariff tax for all US orders that have been caught up in the chaos.
We will post your order to you as soon as services are available once again. Thank you for your patience.
Skin Friend is an Australian company and we ship our products from the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland. We post to many countries world-wide (see the list of countries we ship to under the heading below: 'International Shipping Rates and Estimates').
All orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days (excluding weekends and public holidays) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after receiving your order confirmation email. You will receive another notification with tracking information once your order has been shipped. Our time zone is Brisbane, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and our office ours are 9am until 5pm (Mon, Wed, Fri) if you need to get in touch.
During holiday seasons such as Easter or Christmas (silly season), there may be potential delays due to a high volume of orders, public holidays or postal service problems that are outside of our control. Please be patient with our lovely postal workers - they have families too :)

European Union 🇪🇺
Greenland 🇬🇱
We are in the process of adding Greenland to our website. Greenland calculates using the CIF method, which means the import duty and taxes are calculated based on the value of the imported goods as well as shipping costs. Please note that customs tax is approximately 20% on Skin Friend supplements, skincare and books. Duties are approximately 14% on supplements, 20% on skincare and 1% on books. So it will cost you approximately $60 in tax and duties if you were to purchase a Skin Friend Original bundle with Eczema Friend.
