Covid Update
Please note, that due to COVID-19, many shipping companies are prioritizing the shipments and receiving emergency and necessary medical equipment. This could mean that your package may be withheld from the shipping company for an extended period of time which would lead to longer wait times and delays. We hope you understand, as this is something completely out of our control.

Our handling time usually takes about 2-3 business days and then the orders are handed over to our shipping partners. Our shipping times are dependent on where you live in the world.
Please note that the tracking updates will be displayed within 24 hours after your order is dispatched. Therefore, if you can't find tracking information about your package, please try it later. If you do not see any updates after 72 hours, please contact us.
Shipping Costs
Shipping Costs
We provide free worldwide shipping for all orders! Any orders below 10$ will be charged a flat rate of $9.95, as small orders take as much time to prepare as larger ones.
We also have a premium shipping service with tracking insurance and damage protection, for a small fee. This doesn’t mean your item will arrive damaged, the premium shipping fee just helps us cover the very few items that arrive damaged so we can replace them for you for free.
We will carefully pack your order as it is shipped from overseas.

Customer Responsibility
Customer Responsibility
The customer is responsible for receiving the product at the designated address entered in your order details. If you need to change your address, please let us know within 48 hours of the time of purchase of your order. After that, cancelations or order modifications are not possible. If we ship to an incorrect address, your order is nonrefundable.
The customer is also responsible for receiving the product. Our couriers will sometimes have multiple delivery attempts, but sometimes not guaranteed. We, therefore, request to reach out to your nearest postal service if your order has already had attempted delivery. Please call or visit the postal service mentioned on your tracking page in case of an issue.
Missing Items

Are there custom charges? How much?
Are there custom charges? How much?
Duties and taxes are calculated and charged by customs officials in your country. As such, they are beyond our control. As the importer of goods, you are responsible for duties, taxes, and any other charges that your country chooses to impose for the import.
We currently offer duty-free shipping for the EU and the USA. For further details please check here.
As charges are individually assessed by your country’s officials upon import, we are unable to provide an estimate on how much you may be charged for customs. Charges vary from case to case. Instead, please try contacting the customs officials in your country to get a better idea of what the customs charges may be for your order.
