Foreign Orders

  • All orders outside the US are handled on a case by case basis. This is because of various governments and customs regulations worldwide that may prohibit some of our products from crossing their borders as well as US export restrictions for some items.
  • We cannot export stun guns, batons, handcuffs, pepper spray and some other items without an export license. We will only apply for an export license for large orders that we pre-qualify as suitable items for export. If you are looking for item in bulk please contact us with your information and we will review your request.
  • If we give you a shipping quote and send you an item/items there are no guarantees. This means that you pay for the item even if it gets confiscated. If they send it back we can try to reship or send you a refund minus shipping charges. Payment will need to made in advance.
  • You have these payment options available: Credit card with security measures, Paypal, Western union, international money order, American Express Travelers Checks, cash, bank wire transfer and bank check in US funds as forms of payment.
  • There are Western Union offices all over the world, and even online. You can use this link to send payment online: http://www.westernunion.com/ Use our information below to send us a payment.
  • You can obtain an international money order or American Express travelers checks from your local bank, we treat them like cash.
  • You can send cash, but I recommend you wrap it in an extra sheet of paper so that it does not "get lost" in the mail system. You can also insure we get the letter if you register it.
  • If you want to pay with bank wire transfer then email us for our account information. There is a $10.00 additional bank charge to wire us money.
  • To get our mail in form go to: https://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/content/orderform.pdf
  • On this page you can type in your info and then print it out. You can also go through the site and check out online. You may find the shipping charges a bit high. This is because the prices listed are actual UPS foreign rates. I can usually ship cheaper, but I will let you know this once we correspond through email.
