  • To be notified if a sold-out item becomes available again, click on “notify me when back in stock”
  • Can I reserve an item to buy later?

We aim to provide a fair opportunity to shop our most in-demand styles and as items are often limited, reservations are unavailable therefore placing an item in your shopping bag or wish list does not reserve it.

  • How will my order be packaged?

Your order will be carefully packaged in a protective DHL box to ensure it arrives to you in great condition. Additional branded items such as dust bags will be included if provided by the designer.

    1. Shipping, taxes & duties

How much will I be charged for shipping?

Every Maison Orient order is unique so our shipping costs vary depending on the size, weight and destination of your chosen items. This information will appear at the checkout. 

When will I receive my item and how can I track delivery?

Once your order details are confirmed, your item will be carefully prepared and sent out maximum within 3 business days. Delivery will normally take 2-7 days after dispatch, depending on your location and chosen shipping method.

We will keep you updated with tracking information and an estimated delivery date. You can also follow the progress from your Maison Orient account under ‘My Orders’. If you ordered from multiple Maison Orient partners, please bear in mind that your items will arrive separately at different times.

Will I need to pay taxes and duties?

Maison Orient ships to the following destinations on a DAP (Delivery At Place) basis, the price you pay to Maison Orient will exclude all relevant import duties and sales taxes. As the recipient, you must instead pay these directly to our carrier to release your order from customs upon arrival. DHL will be sending you the necessary information to complete this step.

For US customers, Maison Orient does not collect sales or use tax in all states. Your purchase may be subject to sales or use tax, unless your state is exempt from taxation. Many states require a sales/use tax return filing at the end of the year for taxable purchases that were not taxed (including internet purchases) and payment of use tax on those purchases.

Why can't certain items be shipped to me?

While Maison Orient ships internationally, the brands on our site can determine where their goods are distributed, and some items may not be available to purchase in every region. This is a decision determined by the country’s import regulations. 

Please note: Real fur and exotic skins cannot be shipped to the state of California. We are also unable to ship jewelry (including costume jewelry) or fur goods to Russia.
