Due to the current international situation, shipments may occasionally be sent via DHL instead. In such cases, a tracking number will be provided before dispatch.
Estimated delivery time is approximately 1–2 weeks, depending on the destination country. Please note that delivery times may vary due to customs clearance procedures and local postal conditions.
Any import duties, VAT, customs taxes, or handling fees imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer.
All items will be carefully packed to ensure safe delivery. Recycled cardboard boxes and reused packing materials may be used whenever possible.
Please also note that, depending on the item, lightweight packaging may be used to help reduce shipping costs when secure shipment can still be ensured. We appreciate your understanding in this regard.
