NOXBIRD LTD
Company No. 15785314
Registered in England and Wales
Effective Date: 25 January 2026
Last Updated: 25 January 2026
Governing Law: England and Wales
1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
This Shipping Policy ("Policy") governs all shipments made by NOXBIRD LTD (Company No. 15785314), a company registered in England and Wales ("NOXBIRD", "we", "us", or "our"). This Policy applies to all customers ("Customer", "you", or "your") purchasing products from NOXBIRD for international delivery.
By placing an order with NOXBIRD, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Shipping Policy and our Terms and Conditions of Sale. This Policy forms an integral part of the contract between NOXBIRD and the Customer.
1.1 Legal Framework
This Policy is drafted in accordance with UK law, including but not limited to:
· Consumer Rights Act 2015
· Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
· Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)
· Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018
· Export Control Act 2002
· Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002
2. SHIPPING METHODS AND DELIVERY TIMEFRAMES
NOXBIRD offers two international shipping options for all eligible destinations:
Shipping Method | Estimated Delivery | Tracking | Insurance
STANDARD SHIPPING | 30 business days from dispatch | Full tracking included | Included
EXPRESS SHIPPING | 22 business days from dispatch | Priority tracking included | Included
IMPORTANT: Delivery timeframes are estimates only and commence from the date of dispatch, not the date of order. Actual delivery times may vary due to customs clearance, local courier performance, force majeure events, or other factors beyond NOXBIRD's reasonable control. Delivery timeframes do not constitute a contractual commitment or guarantee.
2.1 Business Days Definition
"Business days" means Monday through Friday, excluding UK public holidays and bank holidays. Weekends and holidays are not counted in delivery timeframes.
2.2 Dispatch Processing Time
Orders are typically processed and dispatched within 3-5 business days of order confirmation, subject to stock availability and successful completion of all export compliance checks. The delivery timeframe begins from the date of dispatch, not the date of order placement.
2.3 Delivery Address Requirements
Customers must provide a complete and accurate delivery address. NOXBIRD is not responsible for delays or non-delivery resulting from incorrect, incomplete, or undeliverable addresses. Address changes after dispatch may not be possible and may incur additional charges.
3. SHIPPING COSTS AND PRICING
Shipping costs are calculated based on the total shipment weight and the selected shipping method. Shipping charges are displayed at checkout before order confirmation and must be paid in full at the time of purchase.
3.1 Weight-Based Pricing Structure
Shipping costs are determined using the following weight brackets:
Total Shipment Weight | Standard Shipping (30 days) | Express Shipping (22 days)
0 - 5 kg | Calculated at checkout | Calculated at checkout
5.01 - 15 kg | Calculated at checkout | Calculated at checkout
15.01 - 30 kg | Calculated at checkout | Calculated at checkout
30.01 kg and above | Contact [email protected] for quote | Contact [email protected] for quote
3.2 Volumetric Weight Calculation
For large, lightweight shipments, carriers may charge based on volumetric weight rather than actual weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as: (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000. The greater of actual weight or volumetric weight will be used for shipping cost calculation.
3.3 Currency and Payment Terms
All shipping costs are quoted and charged in GBP (£) or USD ($) as displayed at checkout. Prices include packaging materials and handling but exclude customs duties, taxes, and import fees (see Section 5).
Note: Shipping costs displayed at checkout are final and binding. NOXBIRD reserves the right to adjust shipping rates with 30 days' notice, but rates confirmed at checkout will be honored for that order.
4. GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS AND SANCTIONED COUNTRIES

5. CUSTOMS CLEARANCE, IMPORT DUTIES, AND TAXES
5.1 Customer Responsibility for Import Charges
CRITICAL: The Customer is solely responsible for all customs duties, import taxes, VAT, tariffs, and other charges imposed by the destination country. NOXBIRD's quoted prices and shipping costs DO NOT include these charges unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

5.3 Customs Clearance Process and Delays
NOXBIRD is not responsible for delays caused by customs clearance procedures. Customs processing times vary by country and are entirely outside NOXBIRD's control. Delivery timeframes specified in Section 2 do not account for customs processing.

5.5 Refused or Undeliverable Shipments
If a shipment is refused by customs, rejected by the customer, seized by authorities, or deemed undeliverable:

· No refund will be provided if goods are seized, destroyed, or confiscated by authorities due to Customer error or misrepresentation
IMPORTANT WARNING: Some countries impose strict import restrictions on defense-related equipment, dual-use items, telecommunications equipment, or electronics. The Customer MUST verify that products can be legally imported into the destination country before ordering. NOXBIRD is not liable for shipments refused, delayed, or confiscated by customs authorities.
6. RISK OF LOSS, TITLE, AND INSURANCE
6.1 Incoterms 2020: DAP (Delivered at Place)

· NOXBIRD is responsible for arranging and paying for carriage to the destination
· The Customer is responsible for import clearance, customs duties, and unloading
· Title to goods transfers to the Customer upon delivery at the specified address
· Risk transfers to the Customer upon delivery or when goods are placed at Customer's disposal
6.2 Insurance Coverage and Claims
All shipments include insurance coverage up to the full declared order value. In the event of loss, damage, or theft during transit, the following procedure applies:

10. The Customer must provide photographic evidence of all damage and retain all packaging materials for carrier inspection

If the Customer is not available to accept delivery, the carrier will attempt redelivery or hold goods for collection according to their standard procedures. Storage fees after failed delivery attempts are the Customer's responsibility.
