Welcome to Official Dark Pictures Gear Store.
Below is our shipping policy, including order processing times, delivery estimates, and other important shipping details.
If you are an international shopper based outside of Europe please carefully read.
1. Order Processing
All orders are processed within 1-2 business days (excluding weekends and holidays). Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive an email notification with tracking details.

All orders ship from Denmark (EU). International customers may incur customs fees.
We only offer Standard Shipping. Estimated delivery times vary by region:
• Denmark: 1-2 business days

• Please allow 24-48 hours for tracking updates to appear after shipment.
4. Shipping Restrictions
We do not ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or restricted regions. If your location is outside our shipping zones, please contact us for assistance.
5. Customs, Duties & Taxes
Import Taxes & Refused Deliveries
Customers are responsible for all import VAT, customs duties, and carrier handling fees required by their local customs authorities. If the customer refuses to pay these charges and the parcel is returned, all shipping costs (including return shipping charged by the carrier) are non-refundable.
Non-EU Orders
These charges are not included in the product price or shipping fees collected at checkout.
The recipient is fully responsible for paying all such charges at the time of import.
No Legal Withdrawal When Goods Are Undelivered
If a customer refuses to pay import duties, taxes, or customs fees, customs will not release the parcel for delivery.
Because the EU right of withdrawal begins only once the customer has received the goods, refusal to pay import charges does not constitute a valid cancellation, withdrawal, or return request.
Handling of Returned Parcels Due to Unpaid Duties
If a shipment is returned to us because import charges were not paid:
-
No return or cancellation is considered valid.
-
Outbound shipping costs are non‑refundable.
-
Any return‑to‑sender fees or customs return charges billed by the carrier will be deducted from any refund.
-
A reasonable administrative handling fee may also be deducted.
6. Lost or Delayed Shipments
If your package is delayed or lost in transit:
• First, check the tracking link provided in your shipping confirmation email.
• If there is no recent tracking update or the package is lost, please contact us
• If your package is marked as “Delivered” but you haven’t received it, check with neighbors or your local courier before reaching out.
7. Damaged or Missing Items
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 2 days with photos of the item and packaging. If an item is missing from your order, notify us immediately so we can investigate and resolve the issue.
