Where we checked
What you should know before buying from abroad
Ralph Lauren runs one site, ralphlauren.com, but the default US storefront will not deliver to an address outside the United States. If you land on it with a US billing address and try to ship to Thailand, checkout fails. The fix is to open the country selector at the top of the page and switch to your local store, which unlocks direct delivery and shows prices in local currency. Once switched, both US cards and non-US cards work, and PayPal is offered.
The honest drawback is coverage. Ralph Lauren delivers directly to roughly twenty-plus countries, and among the ones we check that reliably includes Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. It does NOT directly serve the Philippines, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina or South Africa, so expats there must use a package forwarder like Big Apple Buddy or Qwintry, which adds cost and removes the official returns path.
For supported countries, import duties and taxes are calculated and added at checkout based on your shipping address, so there are no surprise fees on delivery. Returns are accepted within 30 days of the ship date, but the free-return-shipping offer does not apply to international orders, meaning you cover the cost of sending anything back.
Quick answers
Can I just order from the US Ralph Lauren site?
No. The US storefront won't ship outside the US. Use the country selector to switch to your local Ralph Lauren store first.
Will my country get duties on delivery?
For directly served countries, duties and taxes are added at checkout, so you pay upfront with no surprise fees on arrival.
What if Ralph Lauren doesn't ship to my country?
Philippines, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina and South Africa aren't served directly; use a forwarder like Qwintry, but you lose official returns.
