Shipping #
Cost of shipping, import fees and tracking.
Icewear ships worldwide. All available shipping options are available at checkout, and most shipments are securely sent promptly via DHL Express. Military bases with APO or FPO addresses tend to require shipments to be sent via international post (ground shipping). Icewear accommodate this requirement.
Worldwide shipping costs are calculated in the checkout process. The shipping fee depends on the total weight of your order and the shipping address location. Shipping costs, custom fees and taxes are calculated and included in shipping costs according to the receiving country’s laws.
Icewear does not expect our customers to pay any extra fees for customs or taxes. All customs fees, including costs associated with tariffs, VAT, and TAX, are included within the shipping price. That way there are no nasty surprises or packages being held up. You can learn more about shipping costs here.

Wash & Care #
How to take care of your Icewear products.
Handwash only or use a dry cleaner to wash Icelandic wool. When handwashing, use lukewarm water and a specialist wool detergent. Soak the garment for about 10-15 minutes. Do not ever rub or wring. Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze as much water out as possible. Lay the garment flat out on a towel and pull gently into shape. Don’t hang your Icelandic wool sweater up to dry because the additional weight of the water will stretch the wool and risk pulling the garment out of shape. More washing instructions and guidelines for Icewear product care can be found here.
Please always read the care label for each garment or item. The care instructions can be found on the tag inside each garment. More washing instructions and guidelines for Icewear product care can be found here.
