USA Ordering Guide
Here at The Fabric Store we are proud to offer Express shipping via DHL for our American customers, with FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $300AUD.
Tariff Update For US Customers
On May 2nd 2025, the United States has indicated that they will remove the $800USD duty free threshold for goods with an origin in China and Hong Kong. Many of our fabrics are made in China, meaning those products will likely be subject to tariffs, which will then be charged to you in the US, upon delivery. Our shipping partner, DHL Express, have also advised that if a parcel contains goods with a mix of origin China and other countries, these fees / tariffs may be applied to the total value of the shipment (not just the value of the China / Hong Kong goods, but all the other goods too).
You can read DHLs FAQs on duties and taxes here.
You can read US Customs Border Protection FAQs on these new rules here.
You can read US Customs Border Protections guide to internet purchases here. This information is constantly evolving and we are monitoring the situation. Should this information change, we will update you accordingly. If you wish to find country of origin information on the products you are purchasing from us, you can find this in the More Info dropdown on the product page, or utilise our filter and refine by country of origin.
Whilst we are not able to estimate the duties and taxes on your behalf, we do encourage you to get in touch if you have questions about placing an order via [email protected].
We appreciate your patience whilst we navigate these changes!
USD $ — Currency Display Tool
Our currency converter tool is for browsing purposes only and you will be charged in AUD for all purchases. The converted prices displayed are only an approximate indication of what the products cost in your local currency and may not match the exact value that is deducted from your bank account. Your bank will convert the AUD amount to your local currency and may charge a conversion fee. Converted prices are displayed on the product, collection and cart pages only. You will see your order total in checkout in AUD only as that is the total you will be charged by us.
Fast Delivery + Free Shipping Options
We express ship via DHL express, USA-wide (excluding minor outlying islands and territories). Shipping via DHL Express is much faster and convenient than USPS or USPS priority, ensuring that our American customers receive their fabrics within just a few days. Orders are processed within 3 business days, reaching your doorstep within a week of placing your order.
US orders over $300 AUD (~$195 USD) qualify for FREE SHIPPING via DHL express. Orders under this threshold are shipped at the affordable fixed rate of $30 AUD, no matter where in the United States you are based!
