--------------------------------------------------- For the past years, I have kept my shipping rates unchanged, even as carriers like DHL and packaging suppliers have steadily raised their prices. Unfortunately, I can no longer absorb these increases and must make a small adjustment to my shipping costs. I hope for your kind understanding and continued support — it truly means a lot. --------------------------------------------------- Set of 2x Single Malt Whisky from 1960 Highland Distillery in Scotland by independent distributor sexywhisky. Two bottles, two different designs, same content. This is the new "Kanji" series, each set representing a traditional Chinese character, with this set displaying the character "di" for "emperor". This full set contains 4 bottlings, however, only bottling no. 2 and bottling no. 4 (encircled in the lot's picture) are offered in this lot. Bottling no. 1 and bottling no. 3 are auctioned in a separate lot. Distilled, matured in Oak Cask for 10 years and bottled at 40.0% alc./vol., 70 cl e, colouring. With numbered security seal and black tubes. --- Before bidding, please pay attention to the customs and import regulations on alcohol in your respective country. Furthermore, I will declare the parcel as "trade item" with a value identical to the winning bid in order to ensure safety on both sides. Shipped with DHL Premium service incl. insurance and tracking number with bullet-proof parcel packaging and filling material, consisting of a combination between bubble wrap, FloPak chips and Parafilm. Dear clients, due to heavily increased packaging material costs and higher shipping tariff rates, I am forced to raise the DHL Premium shipment flat as well, so as to ensure and maintain high quality shipping standards. Also, bidders from non-EU countries, please mind that it often happens that your parcel gets stucked at customs for several weeks without any update on the tracking site or notification from the delivery service. This has become even longer due to difficulties related to the COVID situation. Only after a certain amount of time length has passed, I will be able to initiate a parcel research inquiry ("Nachforschungsauftrag") towards DHL to check on your parcel. This process again takes another 3-5 weeks. Please calculate in these risk factors. Due to safety reasons and negative experience with local delivery companies manhandling DHL parcels, shipment to Singapore, Taiwan, Hongkong, Japan, United States and Israel will be conducted via DHL Express only, which explains higher shipping fee. Auction lots paid at the weekend are usually shipped out by Tuesday at the latest. If possible, please combine lots to save shipping fee. Should this be technically not possible, you may as well pay separately, I will partially reimburse the overpaid shipping fee. In order to avoid inconvenience on both sides, please bid only if you seriously intend on acquiring the desired item. If there are problems, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I am convinced that there is a solution to everything.
