How long does it take to Receive my Items?
USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY service delivers to your country's postal service within 4-10 days for most destinations. After this time, your regular mail service will make delivery of the item to you. Please allow additional time for possible customs inspections.  The time needed for us to process your order can be 1-2 business days for in stock orders. In some cases, we may need to obtain items not in stock from other locations within the US, so that we can ship the entire order together. This can add an additional 7-14 days processing time. In total, please allow 1-3 weeks to receive international packages - all international shipments are shipped from our Washington DC area warehouse, in the Mid-Atlantic region.

How will I know when my Order Ships?
When the item ships, you will receive an email sent from Poolcenter.com or from USPS.com - Please adjust your spam settings necessary to allow emails from us. You will be sent this email within 24 hrs of the items shipment (M-F). Please note that the tracking provided is with US mail and they are slow to update, and sometimes do not post anything until the item is delivered.

If you do not receive your items or updated tracking in 3 weeks after you have been sent a tracking number, please contact and we can put a trace on the order.

What about Value Added Tax, Customs Fees, Import Duties, Brokerage Fees or other Taxes?
USPS does not charge brokerage fees but has reciprocal arrangements with most countries - you may be required to pay tax upon receiving the items. This will depend upon your country custom and tariff laws. In most cases, however, no additional fees come due.
