Shipping & Handling
Shipping & Handling Protocols
Très Elite is strictly committed to delivering hard-to-find, unique, high-quality, and problem-solving products sourced across our premium global channels. Because our curated items are highly specialized and cross border corridors via complex logistics pathways, we maintain explicit operational frameworks governing order verification, international transit timelines, tax structures, and courier handling parameters. Please review these provisions completely prior to finalizing your transaction execution.

We provide international shipping worldwide, except for strictly closed custom barriers and restricted destinations listed here: Countries We Do Not Ship To.
1. Address Verification & Intake Framework
Product Sizing and Unique Specifications (Exclusive to Handmade/Custom Items)
Because our curated inventory features exceptional, unique problem-solving assets and specialized goods, all physical dimensions and technical specifications for handmade, custom-built, or made-to-order items are logged meticulously prior to box sealing. Minor manufacturing variances or manual calibration tolerances may occur naturally during individual artisanal production runs and are accepted as characteristics of unique craftsmanship upon order intake.
Mandatory Shipping Address Verification
To defend against fraudulent transactions and ensure absolute chain of custody, packages are routed strictly to the verified shipping address input and confirmed by the buyer at checkout. We cannot alter routing vectors post-authorization. Double-check all unit markers, street codes, and postal fields prior to processing payment; data entry errors remain the exclusive liability of the buyer.
Order Authorization & Immediate Processing
Upon verification and risk clearance, an automated transaction confirmation is dispatched. Outbound material allocation moves immediately to our packing floors. Due to the high velocity of our automated fulfillment lines, cancellations or changes must be submitted within our strict 60-minute cutoff framework; past this window, items are locked for container loading and cannot be recalled.
Receiving Horizon Calculation
Your delivery timeline is determined by the standard logistics equation:
Total Receiving Horizon = Operational Processing Time + Courier Transit Duration
- Standard Consumer Lines: Requires 3–7 business days of internal processing (Monday through Friday, excluding structural holidays). Enjoy instant same-day dispatch allocations on eligible curated listings.
- Express & Expedited Delivery: For time-sensitive arrivals, premium express shipping methods may be selected directly by the customer at checkout for eligible items, significantly accelerating the courier transit duration.
- Outbound Dispatch: The vast majority of standard catalog listings clear export sorting lines within 1–4 business days following gateway validation.
- Specialist Order Profiles (Handmade / Pre-Orders): Commercial trade volume procurement, B2B wholesale allocations, advanced product pre-orders, or custom handmade fabrications feature extended factory lead times. Contact our operations support desk for detailed timeline projections on custom sourcing lines.
2. Currency Processing Protocol
Base Transaction Pricing
All transactions, financial settlements, and ledger processes are executed strictly in United States Dollars (USD). Any alternative local currency valuations displayed on our interface are dynamic, informational approximations calculated on current daily international banking exchange indexes.
Sales Tax Allocation
Applicable regional sales tax assessments are calculated based on your local localized taxing authority. Assessment benchmarks apply purely to physical merchandise totals and explicitly exclude cross-border shipping components, cargo protection surcharges, or accessory service metrics.
3. General Logistics & Global Routing Channels
Outbound Shipping Notifications
Upon cargo assignment at our export terminal, a tracking dispatch notice is generated containing your formal carrier designation, live tracking serial reference, and a direct digital connection to the corresponding logistics interface. Digital asset deliveries or gift card numbers clear directly via encrypted electronic mail including delivery logging confirmation.
Global Fulfilment Network Layout
While our main administrative operational facility is positioned in British Columbia, Canada, our specialized problem-solving products are distributed globally to minimize fulfillment friction. Shipments dispatch fluidly out of high-end international logistics nodes across Asia (including direct dedicated supply corridors in South Korea), Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Consequently, orders containing unique items sourced from alternative origin points will arrive in multiple separate packages. Each distinct package carries its own autonomous carrier tracking matrix.
Specific Regional Carrier Timelines
Items under 2 kg clearing via specialized postal frameworks (such as CP Air Mail vectors entering the Russian Federation, Turkey, Singapore, and select outlying island corridors) undergo extensive security sorting. These specific lanes require an extended timeline of 25–45 business days to complete international final-mile delivery.
Express and Premium Freight Allocations
For immediate transit, accelerated express shipping options can be selected directly during the checkout process for eligible product lines. For premium overnight or express freight lanes, transactions must pass gateway clearance prior to 1:00 PM PST to guarantee same-day dispatch optimization; entries cleared after this cutoff window will default to the following business day's outbound container load. Please note that choosing express shipping accelerates transit times but does not bypass the mandatory internal preparation windows required for handmade, pre-ordered, or custom-built curations.
Standard Delivery Horizons & External Contingencies
Standard door-to-door transit averages 3–5 business days for the majority of orders globally; for remote addresses, the delivery horizon can be a bit longer, ranging from 7–15 business days. The dynamic, estimated arrival window is explicitly calculated and displayed on each individual product page prior to payment execution. However, international shipments cross multiple custom jurisdictions and may experience exceptional transit variances entirely outside the influence of our store. We do not guarantee delivery dates for disruptions caused by customs inspections, post office strikes, severe weather anomalies, infrastructure blockades, peak seasonal congestion, or airport traffic constraints.
4. Customs Duties, Import Tariffs & Regional Taxes (Prepaid Framework)
To establish a smooth, completely hassle-free customs clearance matrix, we proactively prepay Value-Added Tax (VAT) and import duties for the vast majority of sitewide products priced under $100, alongside select premium items valued between $50 and $500 per item.
Explicit Operational Exceptions: High-value luxury curations, exceptionally heavy or bulky cargo profiles, and commercial bulk/wholesale procurement tiers are strictly excluded from this prepaid framework. In these specific instances, or where anomalous regional customs authorities apply unforeseen localized handling tariffs, the charges remain outside our direct logistical control and must be fulfilled by the customer to secure immediate freight release from the border depot.
5. Overseas Product Controls & Compliance
Standard Overseas Transit Timelines
Specialized product selections sourced directly from overseas independent labels require 7–15 business days of international transit time to safely clear export corridors.
Strict Non-Returnability of Overseas Freight
To preserve the absolute purity, high quality, and origin-integrity of our unique inventory, items shipped from overseas manufacturing lines are strictly final sale and entirely ineligible for returns due to change of mind or personal preference. International cross-border re-importation restrictions and custom tax duplication prevent the reverse movement of these goods.
Regional Warranties & Technical Compatibility
Manufacturer warranty structures are bound to their respective production regions and may not apply within your domestic territory. Prior to finalizing any overseas technical acquisition, it remains the exclusive obligation of the client to verify absolute structural and electrical alignment with local technical standards, including plug configurations, voltage tolerances, language translations, and localized safety mandates.
6. Logistics Status Glossary
Acceptance: The carrier infrastructure has formally scanned your cargo tracking code at our outbound terminal facility. The parcel is sorting for international departure.
Processing: The parcel is clearing custom scanning, international transit distribution hubs, or localized regional sorting terminals to establish the final delivery route.
7. Delivery Anomalies & Freight Support
Incorrect Cargo or Physical Damage Claims
In total alignment with our Return Policy, structural damage or fulfillment errors must be reported to our support queue within 24 hours of the carrier delivery scan. You must supply a continuous, unedited unboxing video capturing the outer address label, intact package seals, and immediate physical defect display. Photos alone are insufficient, and late claims will be rejected. Please review our comprehensive, dedicated policy pages for full return eligibility rules and conditions before reaching out.
Tracking Stagnation Assistance
Should an active international tracking number fail to refresh its digital status for more than 7 business days, initiate a support ticket. Our risk mitigation desk will open a formal investigation with the carrier service. If the shipping line formally verifies a terminal asset loss, a replacement or credit allocation will be executed based on eligibility parameters.
8. Commercial Special Orders (B2B, Bulk, Handmade Sourcing, Pre-Orders)
All items categorized as B2B trade volume, commercial wholesale procurement, bulk contract purchases, custom handmade design realizations (such as tailored dimensions for wall murals), or advanced product pre-orders are subject to strict supply chain constraints. These orders are: 100% NON-RETURNABLE, 100% NON-REFUNDABLE, and constitute absolute FINAL SALE. Workshop and handmade production lines are locked permanently upon order receipt.
9. Signature Required Deliveries
To safeguard high-value, rare assets against localized residential package theft, select high-value distributions mandate a physical signature upon delivery. If no authorized recipient is present at the address during the delivery attempt, the courier will securely deposit the asset at a regional post office depot or courier holding hub for manual buyer collection.
10. Cancellation & Order Alteration Limits
Order cancellation requests must be logged through our automated support system within 60 minutes of checkout authorization. Once a parcel has cleared risk auditing and entered packaging queues, no modifications, routing corrections, or cancellations can be executed. Uncollected packages that are subsequently returned or liquidated by regional post office depots default automatically to a forfeited final sale transaction with no refund eligibility.
11. Support Operations & Communications Queue
Because we curate rare, unique, and problem-solving assets from specialized international production lines, our client care desk operates with precision and total transparency. Full administrative parameters are cross-referenced directly across our standalone resource guidelines, including the International Shipping matrix, Shipping & Handling provisions, and Returns & Exchanges documentation.
Monday – Friday | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM PST
Inquiries sent after 3 PM Thursday filter to the next business day.
Fulfillment Security Assurance
To provide seamless, around-the-clock support across all international time zones, our storefront utilizes an intelligent, automated assistant to instantly guide you through tracking updates, order lookups, and immediate troubleshooting. For complex logistics queries, weight verifications, or formal claim audits, our specialized risk management team directly steps in during standard operational hours to ensure your experience is flawless.
12. Account Holder Rewards & System Redemptions
Registered account holders who actively track, verify, and confirm successful receipt of their unique items earn specialized bonus points. These points are credited to your loyalty portal and can be applied directly to unlock price reductions on future hard-to-find curation drops: Access Your Loyalty Rewards Portal.
