Do your homework first to figure out what they will be in your area. Due to the current environment, there are delays and on-going price increases for shipping. China buyers please note: China has stricter rules and regulations for incoming packages. To our current knowledge, the shipped item cannot be described as “artwork”. Additionally, we’ve been advised the written value of the package cannot exceed US$125. Therefore, shipping to China will be with this understanding and is 100% at your risk and responsibility should you decide to proceed. If this doesn't appeal to you, please do not bid on this lot. Even with super careful packing efforts, the risk of damage or breakage cannot be reduced to zero. Shipping is with this in mind. Once the package has been lodged with the postal authorities, control and responsibility over said package rests with them. A tracking number will be provided with the package which can be checked via the Taiwan computer database in English and/or Chinese and your own country database. Please follow up and track accordingly. Any return charges or fees incurred for refusing the package, or not paying required import fees/tax wherein the package is returned to seller, are the buyer's responsibility. Please contact me if something is not clear or you need help with the package. We can work anything out together.
