Shipping Delays & Carrier Liability

Unforeseen Delays: Shipping times may be extended due to unforeseen circumstances, including severe weather or carrier delays. Please expect extended delivery times during peak holiday periods.
-
Carrier Responsibility: Once a package leaves our facility, Hilason is not responsible for any delays caused by the shipping carrier, nor are we liable for any damage resulting from the carrier's handling of the package. We highly recommend adding shipping insurance at checkout to protect your purchase.
Refused Shipments
Important: All refused shipments will incur a charge for the total cost of shipping.
International Shipping Policy
We are proud to serve the global equestrian community by offering worldwide shipping. Our primary carrier for international deliveries is UPS. However, we reserve the right to select alternative couriers based on real-time availability and competitive pricing to ensure you receive the best possible service.
Shipping Costs & Estimates
The shipping total provided at checkout is an estimate only. Because we only charge for the actual costs we incur, your final rate may vary based on:
-
Carrier Rates: Current pricing from UPS or our selected couriers.
-
Package Metrics: The exact final weight and dimensions of your boxed shipment.
-
Logistics: Fluctuating fuel and transport costs at the time of dispatch.
Notice regarding balances: If the actual shipping cost exceeds the estimated amount paid at checkout, your order will be placed on hold until the remaining balance is settled.
Customs, Duties, and Taxes
Any additional global transit charges—including customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or local government fees—are not included in your order total. These fees are not generated by Hilason; they are the sole responsibility of the customer and are typically collected by the carrier upon delivery.
FINAL SALE NOTICE: We are unable to process refunds, returns, or exchanges on any purchases shipped internationally. All international orders are considered Final Sale.
