COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS: Please note, we are currently experiencing shipping delays due to current COVID-19 restrictions in Shenzhen. All orders ARE still being shipped, however it is taking longer than usual. We thank you for your patience during these times.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Both our standard and express shipping options are being shipped out and being delivered worldwide! 

We highly recommend selecting our EXPRESS option due to global COVID-19 postage delays affecting all standard postage lines.

Express lines are experiencing less delays thus we highly recommend opting for this option if you want your order to arrive faster. You're more than welcome to still order via our standard shipping option if you are happy to wait for your order to be delivered but please know that this will take longer than usual to be delivered and we are unable to change the shipping method once it has been shipped.

We currently can not ship orders to Europe via our express option and so all European orders will be shipped via the next best available postal company.
