GST 15% • DHL handling fees • Best choice: 1 pair Etsy / 2+ pairs Our Store

💡 Quick tip for New Zealand:

Our store does not collect NZ GST online. → For 1 pair, Etsy can be cheaper since GST is prepaid at checkout and DHL won’t add a collection fee. → For 2+ pairs, our store is usually better thanks to discounts & free shipping.

Note: Etsy prices can be slightly higher due to platform fees.
