Shipping & Returns

SHIPPING

 We Deliver WORLDWIDE, so you can wear Augustine wherever you are in the world!
Shipping Rates
Due to increase freight and overall business costs, we have made the hard decision to charge a flat rate delivery fee of $7.50 for all orders under $199
The good news is, that most of you spend over $199 so these orders will still continue to be freight free and your loyalty vouchers will contribute to the free shipping threshold!
