If an item is ‘made to order’ it may take up to 10 business days before it is shipped. If your order contains both made to order and non-made to order items, we’ll send your shipment once the made to order items are ready. Or, you can order them separately if you’d like your ‘in stock’ items sooner.

Each shipment has a tracking number and the item(s) purchased are insured by Yamato Transport only if they fail (by their fault) to deliver.

Duties and import taxes are determined by the customs agency within the destination country. Although charges are not always incurred, assessment of duties and taxes will be based on the value of the order and the tax-free threshold, if it exists, for goods imported into the destination country.
In this case we suggest customers contact their local customs bureau with inquiries or to see if your package is being held locally. We are unable to control or predict the time of delivery for packages held in customs.
If a package is denied entry by customs and returned to us we will refund the cost of the item, but shipping charges, customs fees and any cost associated with the return of the shipment are not refundable.
If your package is lost in transit we will do our best to assist you. Please note that once proof of delivery is generated we cannot be held responsible if your package was not received by you.
