Who is responsible to pay customs duty and value-added tax (VAT)?

Bougie Glitter is not responsible for any customs duties, value-added taxes, or any other costs and fees associated with international shipments. Please be aware that depending upon your country, you may incur additional costs to receive your items. Please consult your country's local customs duty and VAT policies. 

In what US states do you charge sales taxes?

In states where Bougie Glitter has an obligation to collect, you'll see sales tax applied to your order based on the shipping address that you've selected at checkout. At this time, we are only obligated to collect sales tax in the state of Pennsylvania.

Why aren't more items in stock and ready to ship?

Bougie Glitter embraces the Made-to-Order (MTO) approach, which effectively reduces overproduction by ensuring that each product has a committed owner before it is manufactured. By adopting MTO, Bougie Glitter effectively eliminates the need for excessive inventory, thereby minimizing overconsumption. This approach encourages thoughtful consideration of purchases rather than impulsive buying decisions. Through these practices, Bougie Glitter collectively contributes to mitigating the depletion of natural resources and the production of greenhouse gases. It also allows us to provide our customers with a higher quality product.
