Delivery and Returns
In line with our commitment to year-round fair prices, we operate an equitable shipping policy. We offer free shipping for orders over a certain amount going to specific regions and we charge a small amount towards the cost of shipping in other instances.
We aim to ship all orders the next working day following your purchase. Please allow an additional 3-5 days for items with personalisation. There may be a slight delay during busy seasonal periods.
All shipments are made with DHL (except the economy service we offer in the UK only) and we will always select their carbon neutral “Go Green” option. You will be notified by email of your tracking number which allows you to track your shipment through the DHL website.
For clients in the UK, there is the possibility to select an economy service with Fedex. Please allow 4-5 working days from date of shipping.
Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are provided in the table below. Please note, higher rates are applicable for the Weekend Bag due to size of shipping carton (prices shown when selecting this item).

The above cost is to cover shipping only. Additional amounts may be due at checkout depending on the country of delivery.
We ship orders DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) to most of our markets which means all relevant shipping and customs charges will be included in your total cost at check out. Your package will arrive direct to your address with no additional payment required.
STOW DDP markets include: UK, EU, US, Switzerland, Norway, Serbia, Canada, Japan, China, Republic of Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and UAE.
For all orders to the UK and EU, VAT is included in the total cost of your order before shipping costs are added.
If you are ordering from the US market there are no customs applicable if your order value is less than $800 USD. For orders over this amount, relevant customs charges will be included in your total cost at checkout in line with our DDP policy above.
Orders to all other destinations unfortunately cannot be sent DDP and customers will be liable for any duties, customs or local taxes due upon receipt. Rules vary by country and are determined by your local government. STOW will not be liable for this charge. STOW is not responsible for delays caused by customs clearance.
Returns
Return and Exchange Terms and Conditions
Items that are in a new and saleable condition with all original paperwork and packaging may be returned for an exchange or refund within 14 days of receipt. We regret that we are unable to accept returned products if we have not been notified within this time frame. In the case of a refund, only the cost of the product will be refunded. The original cost of shipping associated with the purchase is not refundable.
Returns are the responsibility of the purchaser (unless the item is faulty), including covering the cost of the return shipment and any duties or customs the package may incur.

Further information
In the event that an item purchased directly from the STOW website is found to be faulty within a period of six months, STOW reserves the right to repair, replace or refund the item at no additional cost to the customer.
Goods that are returned outside of the above stated returns period and/or are damaged or sent without the original documentation will not be accepted and will be returned to the customer.
We are only able to process refunds to the original payment method and we cannot guarantee the timescale in which the refund will take to show in your account once it has left us.
