Shipping & Taxes

At OIO | SOUND, we aim to keep the experience simple, transparent, and consistent for every customer — wherever you are in the world.

Our goal is clean pricing, clear communication, and no hidden surprises from checkout to delivery.

Please note that shipping carriers and fulfillment locations may vary depending on product availability and destination.

📦 Processing & Fulfillment

Every item is created on demand to reduce waste and avoid overproduction.

  • Orders are shipped from the fulfillment facility closest to your region whenever possible

This approach supports conscious production while helping us maintain efficient global delivery.

If this occurs, tracking information will be provided for each shipment at no additional cost.

💸 Taxes, Customs & Duties

OIO | SOUND uses Shopify’s automated tax system to support global compliance and pricing transparency.

Sales Tax & VAT

  • Sales tax is automatically calculated where required

  • VAT is applied where applicable for customers in the EU and UK

  • Final taxes are displayed at checkout before payment is completed

Customs & Import Duties

Certain countries may apply customs fees or import duties based on local regulations. These charges, if applicable, are the responsibility of the customer.

For most single-item apparel orders, additional duties are uncommon in major regions such as the US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan — though policies may vary by country.
