Shipping & returns
Shipping Policy
The dispatch can take between 1 and 20 working days, depending on the addressee's place of residence. This also depends on whether the goods ordered are available locally or are being delivered from China. When you place an order, we will send you a confirmation email with an estimated delivery date. Although we cannot guarantee this, we strive to ensure the actual delivery of your items ordered from our company on the stated delivery date (or even before) this delivery date.
Please ensure that all of your delivery information is entered correctly. We want to get your package to you as soon as possible. Possible input errors on your part can unfortunately lead to delays.
Delays can also be caused by your local customs office, which may take a little more time to process your shipments.
(It is up to you to check your country’s local postal regulations - we cannot be held responsible for shipments that do not pass through customs).
Your shipments will then be delivered either by courier or by local post.
