Why Our Shipping Costs May Seem Higher

Why Our Shipping Costs May Seem Higher

Hello there,

We’d like to clarify why our shipping fees range around €18–€25, and show you the real value behind this cost.


1. Premium Natural Ingredients

Our products are crafted with an abundance of natural and high-grade ingredients—base oils and essential oils that are genuinely expensive. Unlike many companies, we don’t hide these shipping expenses in the product price. Often, when you pay only $10 shipping somewhere else, the company has already added an extra $15 into the product cost.
We believe in transparency, so rather than building the shipping price into the product, we keep the product cost honest and show the shipping fee separately. This might make the shipping appear higher, but it ensures you’re only paying for actual costs, without hidden markups.


2. We Already Subsidize Part of the Cost

The true shipping cost often ranges between €25 and €33, yet we lower our own margins to cover as much of that as possible. We want our these energetically programmed products to be accessible to everyone who wishes to incorporate them into their daily routine. By absorbing a portion of the shipping ourselves, we strike a balance between fairness and affordability.


3. Fast Shipping Preserves Quality

Our formulas use cutting-edge methods to preserve vitamins, nutrients, and beneficial properties, resulting in ideal textures and effectiveness. Unfortunately, when shipping extends over weeks, temperature swings and handling conditions can compromise product quality. Many standard couriers deliver internationally in 15–20 days—which is too long and risks altering both the consistency and chemical composition of our products.

That’s why we rely on DHL Express. Packages arrive in Europe by the next business day, within 2 business days to America, and up to 5 business days for more distant destinations. Faster delivery means better product integrity and a top-notch experience for you.


4. Organic Sourcing

All our ingredients come from reputable organic sources, automatically raising the production cost. Generally, organic adds about $3–$5 to each product. We at Maitreya Fields (including myself and our entire team) personally stand by organic and natural ingredients to minimize toxins in our bodies—benefiting not only our health, but also our spiritual well-being. We pass these same benefits on to you.


5. International vs. Local Shipping

Shipping items across borders simply costs more than domestic deliveries. We are actively partnering with stores in various regions so one day you can buy our products locally—reducing shipping costs for you and delivery times overall. Until then, we’re working hard to make sure that even international shipments remain as swift and reasonably priced as possible.


Why It’s Still a Win for You

By choosing our products, you’re investing in:

  • For the price of $24 for the shower gel, you receive a high-quality product made with organic ingredients plus energetically programmed fields valued at $500 and up.

  • High-quality organic ingredients that nurture your body and spirit.

  • Rapid, secure delivery so your items arrive in perfect condition, brimming with nutrients and energy.

  • Transparency and fairness—we won’t mask costs or compromise on the integrity of our products.

  • We have chosen a special laboratory to create them, one that takes into account the distinct microbiomes of different parts of the body. This provides an effect that is most beneficial for the skin, without stripping its protective barrier or drying it out, and so on.

We believe that paying a bit more in shipping is a worthy trade-off for receiving fresh, potent, and lovingly crafted items right to your doorstep without delay. Thank you for understanding and supporting our mission!

With gratitude,
Maitreya

@Maitreya Hello, I know your products are of high quality. And I want to try Maitreya Cosmetics.

The only problem I have is that in the past I have had bad experiences buying online, the two most common problems are:

Problems at customs and they NEVER release the products (they do not arrive at my house) and that the products are NEVER delivered by the courier, I pay for shipping and they NEVER arrive.

If the shipping is more expensive and you tell me that IT WILL ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE and you free me from customs problems, there is no problem. What I want is for IT TO ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE.

I am a man, what can I use to attract women?

Rose Water Spray - Mjolnir The Protector - Energy Clearing Spray?
Rose Water Spray-Magnificent Glow?
Sacred Forest Shower Gel?

Thank you.

In Europe, our customers are exempt from import duties. In America, there are still no import fees for amounts up to $800. Unfortunately, in other countries, import duties do apply, and if the packages are stopped at customs, our customers must provide DHL with several documents in order for DHL to clear the shipment. We have cleared packages multiple times using standard mail, where there is a hell, but with DHL the process is much easier and usually takes about 2 days. They release it from the customs.

We deliberately include an invoice in the packages and on the outside of the parcel so that customs see the low declared value and do not bother our customers or open the parcels. Overall, clearance with DHL is 10 times easier than with standard carriers, which is another reason why we decided to work with them. We do not want our customers to be hassled or have our products inspected by customs.

Very often, with DHL, the packages go through without being stopped or inspected at all.

I recommend you take a look at the shower gels – Sacred Forest and Love Ritual. Magnificent Glow also helps attract more attention to yourself.

I live in the UK, and I got the parcel the next day a few times already. No issues.
I sent a parcel to MF using the Royal Mail service. Got lost. No one even bothers to refund me because they claim it is still in customs. And I paid £17 for postage.

@Polaris @Maitreya Hello, do I need to create an account to buy from Maitreya Cosmetics or not?

I want to buy with Paypal.

Thank you.

You don’t need an account, just put the items you want in your cart and check out selecting PayPal as payment method. It is very easy.

If you live in a country that need the items cleared through customs, DHL will contact you and ask to sign a document that you authorize them to represent you at the customs. They then bring it to your home. There is a fee to pay for their service, and if your country imposes dues on cosmetic product, you will have to pay that before they bring it to you, but it is easy.

This is the reason we use DHL-we have lost stuff in the mail, when sent with other couriers but never with DHL. They are always punctual, and are the easiest to work with.

@Vega Have you shipped Maitreya Cosmetics products to Mexico? Problems or not? Successful delivery to customer?.

I also want to buy from Maitreya’s Etsy Store and I have the same question.

Have you shipped Maitreya’s Etsy Store products to Mexico? Problems or not? Successful delivery to customer?.

Thank you.

We have shipped to Brazil and Argentina. It seems there are very high duties in those countries and also some yearly limit as far as I understood. You should check what is the situation in Mexico. The items are deliver and are released by DHL from customs, no problem.

This is what i found for Mexico, but please check yourself:

Under the EU-Mexico Global Agreement, Mexico has committed to reducing or eliminating tariffs on various products imported from the European Union. For cosmetics and skincare products, the general import duty is 10%. Additionally, imports into Mexico are subject to a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 16%, calculated on the sum of the item’s cost, insurance, shipment, and applicable duties.
