International orders bring some unique challenges that you, as the buyer, should be aware of before purchasing.
First, we ship via USPS within 1 business day of receiving payment. Since international shipping is done by hand (that is, we fill out the address on the envelope by hand) and not electronically you will not get an automated email when the item is mailed. But, again, your order is shipped within 1 business day of receiving payment (unless you hear from us)
There is no tracking on international orders. It is WAY too expensive and the costs would have to be passed on to you.
Shipping times can vary greatly. Your country's customs office may hold an item for an extended period of time (customs holding an item appears to be a random process that affects about 20% of our international shipments). Additionally, your order must go through USPS and your country's postal service. This can add time to your shipping time. Most international orders take about 1-2 weeks to arrive. Some may take as long as 15 business days. Again, shipping time is completely out of our control.
Please do not bid if you need tracking or need your item within the next 3 weeks.
We appreciate your business and let us know if you have any questions regarding our international shipping policies. |
