Shipping & Import Duties
How your order gets to you, anywhere.
We ship worldwide from Singapore with FedEx Express. Your product price is shown separately from import duties — so you get a lower, honest price, and you choose at the cart whether to prepay duties or pay them on arrival. Here’s exactly how it works.
Worldwide shipping with FedEx
Inlinex ships worldwide via FedEx Express. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address and order weight — no guessing, no padding. Fully tracked, door to door.
Estimated transit time is shown at checkout, and a tracking link is emailed once your order ships. We use FedEx because they’re reputable globally and offer real customer support. The transit time at checkout is an estimate — once a package leaves us we have no control over it, and you’ll need to call your local FedEx office if something looks wrong. Inlinex isn’t liable for delivery delays beyond our control.
The price you see is the product price
Import duties and taxes are not baked into our prices. That means you get a lower, transparent product price instead of an inflated “all-in” number — and you’re never overpaying. How duties are handled is entirely your choice, made at the cart (next card).
Choose how you handle duties — right at the cart
On the cart page you’ll see a Duties & Taxes toggle. Pick whichever you prefer:
- Pay on arrival (DDU) — Default. Lower upfront cost. Your local customs office or courier collects any import duty & tax when your parcel arrives.
- Prepay duties & taxes (DDP). Toggle on to add the estimated import duty & tax to your order now — then there’s nothing to pay on delivery. The exact amount is shown before you check out.
Paying duties on arrival
If you leave the cart toggle on Pay on arrival (the default), your local customs office or courier collects any import duty and tax when your parcel arrives. You may receive a phone call, email or written instructions asking you to pay before your package can be released.
These fees go directly to your country’s customs office — they aren’t ours and we can’t control them. To skip this step entirely, switch the cart toggle to Prepay before checking out.
Changed your mind? Cancellation
Message us on WhatsApp (bottom-left button) as soon as possible.
- If we haven’t packed your order yet AND it’s been less than 48 hours since you ordered → you get a full refund to your card.
- If we haven’t packed your order yet BUT it’s been more than 48 hours → you get store credit (valid 2 years).
- If your order has already shipped → we can’t cancel anymore, but you can still return for store credit (see card 6).
60-day return for store credit or exchange
You’re welcome to return for store credit or exchange your items within 60 days. Items must come back in the same condition they arrived in, with their original packaging and all components. For garments, tags must still be intact and the garment should not have been worn or washed.
Please don’t send used items back unless we’ve specifically asked you to. If we receive an item we judge unacceptable, you’ll be asked to arrange and cover the cost of fixing it and shipping it back to you. Returns may be declined if:
- Goods are missing their original packaging
- Goods or packaging are damaged
- There’s proof of wear on the goods
We may also deduct from your store credit an amount equal to the cost we incur restoring the product to its original condition.
For the step-by-step return process (open the FedEx pak, reuse packaging, drop off), see our Simple Guide to Return & Exchange Outside of Singapore.
Store credit — 2-year validity
Store credit is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance, and can be used in our online store or at our physical store.
Payment & delivery notes
Foreign credit card fees. Transactions made with a foreign credit card may incur additional fees from your card issuer or bank. These fees aren’t imposed by Inlinex and are beyond our control — check with your bank or card provider before completing your purchase if you’re unsure.
Signature on delivery. By default, FedEx may deliver your package without requiring a signature, and may leave it at your door. If you’d prefer signature confirmation, contact your local FedEx office to arrange it.
Warranty
Inlinex will gladly pursue a warranty on your behalf. However, the user covers all repair costs (if any), shipping fees, and taxes in and out of Singapore. Warranty only covers manufacturer defects — wear-and-tear is excluded. Learn more about what our warranty covers here.
Change of address
If you paid via PayPal, we can’t change the shipping address after the order is placed. We can cancel the order for you, but PayPal’s transaction fees are non-refundable and won’t be returned.
Fraud prevention
To keep shopping safer for our customers, we may email or WhatsApp you to verify the authenticity of a purchase if:
- The billing ZIP or postal code isn’t available or doesn’t match the card’s registered address.
- The cardholder name doesn’t match the shipping recipient.
- The billing address and card’s address aren’t available or don’t match.
- Multiple attempts were made on your card.
- The IP address doesn’t match where the transaction was made.

Frequently asked questions
How long will my order take to arrive?
FedEx transit time is typically 2–6 working days depending on your country, plus our handling time before the package leaves us. The estimate shown at checkout is just an estimate — once the package leaves us we have no control over it. A tracking link is emailed once your order ships so you can follow it in real time.
How is shipping priced?
Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address and order weight, and sent via FedEx Express with full tracking. There’s no padding — you only pay the actual calculated FedEx rate for your parcel.
Will I have to pay import duties when my package arrives?
That’s your choice, made with the Duties & Taxes toggle on the cart page.
Pay on arrival (DDU) — the default: your local customs office or courier collects any import duty & tax when the parcel arrives.
Prepay (DDP): the estimated duty & tax is added to your order now, so there’s nothing to pay on delivery.
Many small orders fall under your country’s de-minimis threshold and clear with no duty at all — the toggle tells you when that’s the case.
What’s the difference between Prepay (DDP) and Pay-on-arrival (DDU)?
Both are offered by the Duties & Taxes toggle on the cart.
Pay on arrival (DDU) — Default. A lower upfront price; you settle any import duty & tax with your local courier when the package arrives.
Prepay (DDP) — Adds the estimated import duty & tax to your order now, so there’s nothing to pay on delivery.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes — message us on WhatsApp (bottom-left button) as soon as possible. The refund type depends on timing:
- Less than 48 hours since ordering AND we haven’t packed yet → full refund to your card.
- More than 48 hours, but we haven’t packed yet → store credit (valid 2 years).
- Order has already shipped → can’t cancel. You can still return it for store credit once received.
Can I get a full refund instead of store credit?
Yes, but only if we haven’t packed your order yet AND it’s been less than 48 hours since you ordered. In that case, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll cancel for a full refund to your card.
After 48 hours (or once we’ve started packing), refunds are issued as store credit only — your payment has already been captured and the payment-processor fees can’t be reversed.
Once your order has shipped, cancellation is not possible. Returns at that stage are for store credit only.
How do I return an item from outside Singapore?
Reuse the FedEx pak or box your order arrived in (every FedEx pak has two adhesive strips — open the top one, the lower one is for resealing). Repack everything the way it arrived, then drop it off at your nearest FedEx office. For a full walk-through with photos, see our Simple Guide to Return & Exchange Outside of Singapore.
Buyer covers all return shipping fees and taxes back to Inlinex. We sell return labels — live-chat us for a quote — but you’re also welcome to use a cheaper method if you can find one.
How long is store credit valid?
2 years from the date of issuance. Store credit can be used in our online store or at our physical store in Singapore.
Can I change my shipping address after ordering?
If you paid by card: Message us on WhatsApp ASAP. If we haven’t shipped yet, we can usually update the address.
If you paid via PayPal: We can’t change the shipping address — PayPal locks it to the address on file. We can cancel the order for you, but PayPal’s transaction fees are non-refundable and won’t be returned.
Do I need to sign for my package?
By default, FedEx may deliver without a signature and leave the package at your door. If you’d prefer signature confirmation on delivery, contact your local FedEx office to arrange it.
Why did you ask me to verify my purchase?
To keep shopping safer for our customers, we may email or WhatsApp you for a quick verification if:
- The billing ZIP or postal code is missing or doesn’t match your card’s registered address.
- The cardholder name doesn’t match the shipping recipient.
- The billing address and card’s address are missing or don’t match.
- Multiple attempts were made on your card.
- The IP address doesn’t match the location of the transaction.
This is standard fraud-prevention — replying quickly helps us release your order faster.
What happens if my package gets refused or returned?
If an international order is refused at the door or abandoned, the buyer bears all charges. These charges are irreversible, and no store credit will be issued for the order.
What’s the warranty policy for international orders?
Inlinex will gladly pursue a warranty on your behalf. However, the user covers all repair costs (if any), shipping fees, and taxes in and out of Singapore. Warranty only covers manufacturer defects — wear-and-tear is excluded. Learn more about what our warranty covers here.
Why did my credit card charge an extra fee?
Transactions made with a foreign credit card may incur additional fees from your card issuer or bank (foreign-transaction fees, currency-conversion markups, etc.). These fees aren’t imposed by Inlinex and are beyond our control — check with your bank or card provider before completing your purchase if you’re unsure.
