Do you ship internationally?
The Balm Box can ship some items internationally. We work through an international shipping partner, who does not allow us to ship food or essential oils. Therefore, we modified our core product line to follow those parameters. Furthermore, currently we are only able to ship to Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, and the European Union.
You can find our international product line here. Be sure to select the correct currency of the ship-to destination. Select currency from the drop down menu on the bottom left hand corner of the footer bar. Once the currency is selected, all available gift boxes will appear on the page. You must make your purchase in the currency of your shipment’s final destination. We know - it’s really wonky! But it’s the least-bad way we have to accommodate International orders for the time being. Thanks for your patience.
