SHIPPING & RETURNS

What kind of shipment will you use for my order?

  • Items identified with a USA flag can be dispatched from America or China.
  • Most small orders are fulfilled from America while with larger ones we recommend China as it is usually less expensive.
  • Items dispatched from America primarily use air freight.
  • Items dispatched from China can either be sent using air freight or sea freight, depending on your preference.
  • Air freight is usually faster but more expensive, while sea freight is often slower but cheaper.

How long does it take for international shipping?
