In some regions, we may accept Apple Pay, Meta Pay, G Pay, or Shop Pay.

Sales taxes and duties
Some countries include sales taxes in the total cost of your purchase so you will have paid for them up front. However, delivery to some regions may incur a customs/sales tax that is payable on delivery of the goods.
Parts of Central & South America, the Caribbean, The Philippines, Indonesia, Middle East, Canada, and Mexico may all charge additional taxes for the delivery of your package. If you're located in these areas, check out the local tax laws before placing your order.
If you aren't sure, contact us and we'll do our best to help you. Being aware of your local sales tax legislation is the responsibility of the consumer and we are unable to refund any amount charged at the point of delivery.
Please be aware that Lonely Planet does not receive any amount of these additional taxes.What's a CVC code & how do I find it?
The Card Verification Code (also known as CVC or CVV) is a number that appears on your credit card that lets us verify that the person placing the order has direct access to the credit card being used.
On Visa & MasterCard: The last three numbers appear on the signature panel on the back of the card.
On American Express: The four-digit number that appears in the top right corner on the front of the card.
