The application of 3D Secure is effective when the bank of the credit card holder is equipped, therefore an additional step takes place at the time of payment such as confirmation by SMS/phone.

We ship all the items from Turkey. All of the prices on our website is without VAT and without TAX. So, there might be extra customs and import taxes that you may need to pay when the shipment arrives to you. We are not  responsible for any delays due to customs.

We will offer “duties and taxes paid delivery” option very soon, which you can prepay all the taxes that may apply to your order depending on the country you want your order to be shipped.

For our UK Customers: Orders below 135GBP will have %20 VAT which is collected by the UPS at the time of delivery. Orders over 135GBP will have %20 VAT + customs duties (which is another %20) which is again collected by UPS at the time of delivery. So, if the order is over 135GBP, you might need to pay TAX which amounts %40. This new regulations are implemented after January 2021 as a result of Brexit process and this custom duties and TAX is not related with Kalisanballoons.
