Shipping Policy

Small orders of $146.00 USD or more are shipped free worldwide.

Orders under $146.00 USD are shipped for $3.65 USD within the United States and Canada and for $10.95 USD to all other International destinations.

Due to the rising prices of international shipping, oversize overseas orders weighing between 1.0 - 2.0 kg are processed with an additional surcharge of $14.60 USD. Oversize overseas orders  2.0 -4.0 kg are processed with an additional surcharge of $29.20 USD.  Oversize orders over 4.0 kg are processed with the actual shipping cost, which will be calculated and e-mailed to you.

All orders are shipped via Air Mail unless otherwise requested by you on your order.
Your order will be shipped the same or following business day.  If you are in US or Canada you should receive it in 5 to 9 working days. For overseas orders Post Office does not guarantee delivery faster than 2 weeks but most of our overseas shipments are reaching the destination in 6-10 working days.

We can ship your package any way you desire, but if you are requesting different mode of shipping than Air Mail ( for example FedEx overnight service) you will have to cover extra charges respectively to what the shipping company will be charging us for the service of your choice.

Our shipping cost to countries as Malaysia, Singapore and China are approximate and if they need to be changed we will notify our clients.

Due to certain shipping regulations orders being shipped to Singapore and Africa may not exceed $146.00 USD in value because there are no insured postal services to those countries. Orders from Singapore and Africa exceeding that value must have arranged a courier service and will be charged actual shipping costs quoted by UPS, FedEx or DHL.
