International Shipping Information

Below you'll find answers to questions you may have about international shipping. If your question is not answered here, please email us Mon – Fri between 9am – 6pm GMT.

  • For your convenience and savings here at MusclePetrol.com we charge shipping by weight of the total package to your destination and not per item basis; that means the more you buy the less you pay on shipping charges.

  • Although we ship to most countries, there are few we don’t, please contact us if you get an error message in your cart whilst estimating shipping for your country. 

  • Ice packs cannot ship internationally; if your shipping destination is in a generally warm climate or you’re ordering during a warm season, please keep in mind the heat sensitive nature of chocolate or similar items. As we cannot unfortunately protect it with ice packs for international orders, the customer does assume responsibility for melted product. Thanks again for understanding, and please consider this when ordering products like chocolate bars, butters and similar!

How to Calculate Shipping Costs

Getting an international shipping quote is easy. Simply add the products that you'd like to purchase to your shopping cart and click the 'Add Info' link; now key in your Country details and hit the estimate shipping tab to get an instant quote. Please see the below screen shot:

If you have any issues and can't get a shipping quote for your location please email us Mon – Fri between 9am – 6pm GMT and we will help you.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

Sometimes packages may be stopped and inspected by Custom officials at the border of your country. In our experience these inspections are quick and easy, but in some cases it may cause a delay in your package arriving. Usually these delays will be shown in your tracking information.

If customs decides that your package cannot enter your country, it will be returned to us. In this case, you will be issued a full refund of the product minus shipping as soon as we receive the package back. Unfortunately if your package is seized and destroyed (this is rare if you choose Express or Priority shipping) we are not able to offer any refund. - Tip: To avoid this we suggest you always check your country laws before placing the order if in doubt.

If you believe your package has been refused entry into your country please contact us immediately via email or call us. We'll do what we can to help expedite getting the package returned to us and issue refund.

It's also important to understand that you may be charged duties & taxes by your government at the time of receiving the package (although based on our experience this is rare). The duties & taxes laws vary greatly from country to country, we advise you check the laws in your country if not sure.

If you refuse to pay the duties & tax charges when accepting the package it will be sent back to us and we'll refund you the full amount minus shipping and return shipping costs.

My package hasn't arrived, what do I do?

First, relax. Whilst international shipping typically takes just a week or two max depending on the carrier, we have had rare experiences where it has taken up to 3-5 weeks for a package to arrive. Whilst the reason for such a delay isn't always clear, it is more than likely due to a package being held in Customs waiting for inspection or awaiting and verifying further documents requested from you. – this can be always tracked on the carrier website where you can see up to the minute and point-to-point tracking and ascertain the whereabouts of your package.

Please wait at-least 3 weeks before contacting us to allow your package enough time to arrive. If after 3 weeks the carrier still has not delivered your package and it is neither showing up with the customs, please contact us and we will try to ascertain the location and whereabouts of your package.

Ultimately, we always put our customers first, if your package still has not arrived after 5 weeks, we will issue you a full refund, including the shipping costs or resend your order FREE of cost.

Will you put a low amount on my invoice to avoid duties & taxes?

Whilst we love pleasing our customers, this is simply one request that we cannot accommodate no matter what the circumstances might be. We always state the full pound value in GBP of any and all merchandise being shipped to a customer as we are required to do so by law. 

Do you fraud check international orders?

Absolutely. Whilst we have proprietary technology and methods on how we check orders for fraud, we will say that we start by checking the following pieces of information:

  • IP address
  • Credit card details
  • Billing address
  • Shipment address

We usually look for the billing address to match the shipping address. In some cases, we may first contact the customer before shipping out their package to them to verify their identity or may request to fax or email their credit card documentation after your order is placed.

Please understand that this is only requested as an added security measure to insure your credit card security. You will only be asked to provide this information on your initial order.

We ultimately reserve the right to decline sending any package to any customer that we believe to be acting fraudulently.

 

Note:

  • All shipments are FOB MusclePetrol.com
  • Buyers are responsible for any applicable customs duties and taxes along with ensuring that the items they are ordering are lawfully permitted to import into their respective countries.
  • Muscle Petrol.com will not be liable for any refunds resulting confiscation of the products in the buyers country.

Order Problems FAQ

What should I do if I received a damaged package?

Whilst it is extremely rare that our world class couriers would deliver a package that is damaged, however mistakes can happen. And when they do, we’ll take care of you. Just contact our customer service experts and we will resend you another package immediately - free of cost!

Please remember to still keep the original package that you received damaged. We will send the designated courier back to your location to retrieve the damaged package (again, free of cost) and return it back to our warehouse so that we can send you a new one.

What should I do if I received an incorrect order?

Oh no! Don’t worry; we will take care of you. With every package we ship we include an invoice and packing list containing a summary of your order and the contents of your package. Check the invoice to make sure you actually ordered the products you intended to order. Once you confirm that the invoice does not match the contents of the box, please contact us and let us know!

We have an extensive inventory computer system with a series of checks and balances and barcode scanning systems, but at the end of the day, human errors can still occur. Mistakes are rare, but when they do happen we’ll make sure to quickly ship out the products you’re missing immediately! This is of absolutely no charge to you, of course.

Why is my Order Status still showing as pending after 2 days?

Our warehouse processes orders Monday through Friday up until 12 PM GMT. Keep in mind, if you placed an order at 2 PM on a Friday, it will not be processed until that following Monday.

With that being said, if your order has been pending for processing for more than 2 days and your order was not placed before the weekend or a holiday, please contact us. Whilst we make every attempt to contact a customer to notify them as to why their order is delayed, sometimes we are unable to get in touch.

A few reasons an order may be delayed:

Further information is needed – Sometimes, a customer provides a shipping address that is incorrect (usually due to a typo) and we need the correct street address, city, etc.
Security reasons – When a customer provides a billing address that does not match the card provided at checkout, we like to contact them and simply find out why that might be the case.
Out of stock - A customer should only be able to purchase items physically located in our warehouse. In extremely rare occasions our warehouse inventory may be incorrect due to a variety of reasons, most commonly a box or pallet that was incorrectly labeled. While these instances are extremely rare, they do happen and when they do we let the customer know.
Please note: a very small percentage (we'll say under 0.5%) of our orders are sometimes delayed. But rest assured, if yours does, you will be contacted asap to quickly resolve the issue and get you your supplements!

What should I do if I placed an incorrect order or changed my mind just after placing the order?

Please contact us immediately as we process orders very quickly, sometimes within minutes of them being received, and cannot guarantee that we will be able to cancel your order once it is processed. Your best chance of cancelling an order is by immediately shooting us an email and notifying us of your desire to do so.

Then proceed to the Checkout as normal.

Are there any restrictions?
