FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ORDERS & DELIVERY
ALL PRICES ARE IN USD
We are pleased to offer both Economy and Express shipping options for your convenience. While Economy shipping provides a cost-effective solution, it does entail longer transit times compared to our Express service.
Our standard procedure for order processing typically spans 3-7 business days, from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. This process includes meticulous payment verification, comprehensive quality checks, and careful packaging. Please be advised that certain items may have varying processing and shipping times.
It is important to set appropriate expectations; Express delivery standards should not be assumed for Economy shipping. Throughout the shipping process, estimated delivery times may be subject to adjustments due to unforeseen events. Occasional interruptions in tracking updates or transit delays may occur, particularly with Economy shipping. However, rest assured that such occurrences are routine and do not signify any issues with your shipment.
Should your order exceed the estimated timeframe or if you have any inquiries, our dedicated team stands ready to assist you promptly.
Please note that emails sent after 1 p.m. on Thursdays or over the weekend will be addressed on the following Monday, with the day of receipt considered as day zero. While our goal is to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours, please understand that response times may vary and may take up to 72 hours, depending on the volume of requests received. We kindly ask that you refrain from sending multiple emails, as each query is handled with care. Additionally, please be aware that we do not respond to repeated questions that have already been addressed or are easily accessible on our website.

Item Not Found Explanation:
Upon inputting your tracking number and receiving this notification, it is because of the following potential reasons:
-
Incorrect Number: The entered number might be incorrect. Kindly review and re-enter it. For further information on tracking, delivery notice cards, and reference numbers, consult the email we sent to you.
-
Shipping Label Creation: The fulfillment center successfully generated a shipping label, but the post office has not yet collected or received the item from the fulfillment center.
-
Delayed Tracking Update: Although the package might be received, the tracking number has not been updated within the system. This delay could take up to 5 business days to resolve.
-
International Shipment: In the case of a local country tracking number, it could pertain to an international item that has not yet reached your country. Consider tracking the item on the website of the international courier that initially shipped it, utilizing the original tracking numbers.
-
Lack of Tracking Inclusion: The chosen shipping method for this item might not encompass tracking.
-
Non-Tracked Courier Service: The fulfillment center or supplier dispatched this item through a courier service that lacks tracking capabilities.
-
Aging Tracking Number: If the item was shipped over a year ago, this scenario arises when an old tracking number is entered.
-
Updated Information: These outcomes reflect the latest updates in the general courier system. Nevertheless, our customer service representatives might possess additional internal information to provide further insights.
Explanation of Shipping Statuses:
-
"Departure from Outward Office of Exchange": This status implies that the parcel is prepared for an export customs security scan. Upon successful completion, it will be forwarded to the airline.
-
"Arrival at Inward Office of Exchange": This status signifies that the parcel has reached the import customs office in the destination country. Subsequent to the import customs clearance, the parcel will be handled by the destination country's postal service provider.
-
"Import Customs Scan": This status has three potential interpretations:
a. If the parcel originated overseas and displays the recipient's country as its location, it denotes that the parcel has arrived at the import customs of the destination country. It will be delivered upon completion of customs clearance.
-
"Sent to Airline": This status suggests that an overseas package has been handed over to an airline company. However, it does not guarantee that the parcel is on an aircraft.
-
"Electronic Data Received" Status: If your tracking result indicates solely "Electronic data received," it means that the seller/shipper has acquired a tracking number from the postal company but has not yet dispatched the goods.
-
"Shipping Notice Received" Meaning: When you encounter the phrases "Shipping notice received" or "Logistics order has been created," this indicates that the seller/shipper has acquired a tracking number using shipping software from the fulfillment center or supplier, yet the goods have not yet been shipped.
Parcel Delivery Issues:
If your tracking results reveal that the parcel has arrived in the destination country for an extended period without delivery information, it generally indicates a delivery problem. Possible reasons include incorrect address details, import customs hold, recipient unavailability during delivery attempts, or absence of a P.O. Box number on the parcel.
Abbreviations Explained:
Six-capital-letter abbreviations such as CNBJSA, CNSZXA, USSFOS, USLAXD, BEBRUV, DEFRAA, GBBELA, and CAYMQA represent International Mail Processing Centers. Comprehensive information about the sorting center where your parcel is currently located can be obtained from the International Mail Sorting Centers.
