Buying at Golden Maple: worldwide shipping, duties, returns and cashback
Golden Maple sells miniature painting brushes, tools and hobby supplies, and its shipping page is written for customers all over the world. That makes the details worth reading: what you pay, how long a parcel travels and who covers duties. This guide goes through the shop's shipping and return pages and shows how to earn cashback.
Where Golden Maple delivers
The page is titled worldwide delivery, and it speaks of free international shipping for most destinations. It does not give a country list, so check your address at checkout. The selector in the page header lists many countries and territories with their currencies.
Shipping cost
The shipping charge depends on where you live and how much you spend:
- EU countries: free shipping from an order total of $36.99, otherwise a flat shipping fee of $6.00
- Non-EU countries: free shipping from an order total of $29.99, otherwise a flat shipping fee of $6.00
The shop asks you to look at checkout for the exact cost for your destination. Because the free shipping limit is lower outside the EU, a small extra item can be worth adding when you are just below it.
How long delivery takes
The delivery estimate is processing time plus shipping time. Processing takes 1 to 3 business days and shipping 5 to 15 business days, so you can expect to receive an order in 6 to 18 business days. A separate passage says delivery usually takes about 15 working days. Shipping time starts from the date of shipping, not the order date. The shop is not responsible for delays caused by invalid addresses, customs clearance, weather, holidays or carriers. You see the status on the online order status page and get updates by email.

Duties and taxes
For most countries customers do not pay import fees, duties or VAT. For some countries, in particular certain European countries such as Germany and Italy, and Canada, duties or VAT may apply under local rules. Customs fees, duties and taxes are the buyer's responsibility and are not included in the product price or the shipping cost.
Returns and refunds
The shop accepts returns within 30 days of receipt, except opened products. Contact customer service within those 30 days to ask for a refund. Items must be new, unused and in the condition you received them. After approval you get an email with return instructions and send a tracking number. Refunds generally arrive within 3 to 5 business days. If you return for your own reasons, you pay return shipping. For a wrong or damaged item the shop offers a refund when you send pictures of the order and the item. Orders placed with redeemed rewards or in-app rewards are eligible for a refund of 50% at most, so keep that in mind if you plan to return something.
You can change or cancel an order only before you receive a shipping notice. Reply within 24 hours of the confirmation email. If a duplicate order is placed and you do not respond within five days, it is confirmed and shipped.
Contact
The shop's shipping and return pages give [email protected] for questions, and website chat Monday to Friday with a reply usually within 48 hours.
Cashback with daily cashback
Open the Golden Maple page at daily cashback, where the current rate (up to 3.5%) is shown. Press the shop button and order as usual. In your free account the cashback first appears as open and becomes confirmed once Golden Maple has reported the order. If the order is refunded, the cashback is deducted again. Current offers are listed on the shop page and we check them daily.
Practical tips
- Check the total at checkout against the free shipping limit for your region before you pay.
- Keep unopened items sealed until you are sure you want them, since opened products cannot be returned.
- Do not use a code from another site in the same visit. A foreign code can cost you the cashback.
