Worldwide Shipping, Two Simple Options

Clear, honest shipping terms. Every order gets two options — Sea Shipping (slower, cheaper) and Air Express (faster, premium) — routed via DHL Express or FedEx Express. Free Sea Shipping on orders over $70. Tracking on every shipment, delivery to 50+ countries.

Shipping Options

Two Carriers, One Clear Choice

Every order ships with one of two carrier options. Economy saves budget on planned reorders; Air Express rescues time-sensitive launches. Air Express is auto-routed via DHL Express or FedEx Express based on lane and capacity — both are premium international couriers. Same QC, same tracking, same packing — only transit time and cost differ.

Delays & Issues

Delays, Lost Packages, & Damaged Shipments

Things don't always go smoothly in international shipping. Here's exactly how we handle the four most common shipping issues — no support tickets, no runaround.

What happens if my package is delayed in customs?+

Customs delays are beyond our control. The Air Express carrier (DHL or FedEx) contacts buyers directly for any documentation needed. We provide commercial invoices and packing lists immediately on request.

What if my package is lost in transit?+

If a package is confirmed lost by the carrier, we reprint and reship at our cost. We file the carrier claim on our side; you don't wait for the resolution.

My package arrived damaged — what do I do?+

Photo-document damage within 7 days of delivery. Email photos to [email protected]. We'll assess and either reprint damaged labels free of charge or issue partial refund.

Can I change my shipping address after production starts?+

Yes, if the carrier hasn't picked up yet. $25 address-change fee for Air Express redirect. No fee for Sea Shipping (if not yet shipped from origin).
