We ship worldwide!

Through our website, APA currently ships to all 28 E.U. countries, as well as Switzerland, Norway, the U.S., Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Through our store, we also create custom shipments to almost all other countries in the world. If you would like to know if we can deliver to your country, contact us at info@apa-intemporal.com,

Here’s how it works: you order, we process, then we ship.

Ordering takes a few seconds. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days (and orders placed after 1pm ET are processed the next business day). Then one of our carriers takes it from there. You’ll get a shipment notification email with a tracking number as soon as your package ships. It’s on the way!

Shipping, returns and exchanges within the E.U. are free on all raincoat orders.

Please note: We only take the return costs of the first return of an order. Each additional return/exchange has to be paid by you.

For international shipping, costs will vary depending upon the destination country. The final cost of shipping will be displayed at checkout.

* For APA x Dzaino Travel Pouches costs will vary depending upon the destination country. The final cost of shipping will be displayed at checkout. For our Travel Pouches we offer a full refund or exchange, within 14 days of receipt (21 days for orders outside Europe). We do not refund postage costs.

We use express shipping. For our friends in Europe, shipping takes 1 to 4 business days. We’ll send a tracking number so you can watch your package’s journey.

International shipping times vary depending upon the destination country:

Orders within the E.U. will have no duties, and VAT is included in the price of each item.

For all orders outside the E.U., including Switzerland and Norway, all applicable duties and taxes are not included in the price. The customs office in each country may charge you local duties and VAT. These charges are at the customer’s own expense. If you have any questions about international shipping, contact us at info@apa-intemporal.com.

Your tracking number will be issued to you via email once your order ships. If you’re having issues with your tracking number, in a few cases, the carrier can take extra time to register your shipment status.

If after several days your tracking number still isn’t working, please reach out to us at info@apa-intemporal.com, and we’ll get to the bottom of it!

For men: if you are usually in-between sizes, or have longer arms, we recommend that you take the larger size. It’s no problem to request an exchange if the fit isn’t perfect (see our exchange policy).

Our raincoat is a reflection of our vision to combine the striking design, subtle attitudes and impeccable details of high fashion with today’s most innovative performance technologies and fabrics.

On the design side, our raincoats are built with top quality materials, craftsmanship and attention to detail that you will find in high-end designer brands to create an elegant look for an urban lifestyle.

APA is the first to use “smart” technologies for city wear, featuring some of today’s best performing fabrics. Our nano-tech water repellency ensures you’ll stay dry in heavy rain, while water simply rolls off the fabric like water on a leaf. Our smart c-change membrane adapts the coat’s breathability to your body temperature, so you’ll always feel “just right” in any weather. In fact, our coats have the same waterproofing and breathability ratings and durable construction as leading brands in the extreme sports industry.

Overall, our coats are the result of years of testing and customer feedback. They are designed to make you look great while keeping you protected in every kind of weather!
