FAQs

Payment

Payments can fail for a variety of reasons:

- The card information you entered, such as billing address, CVC code, or expiry date do not match.

- Payment was made from a new computer/phone

- Insufficient funds on your debit card.

- Online payment is disabled.

We suggest you contact your bank to confirm the specific reasons. If the problem persists, you can choose to use a different card or payment method. If your card payment is not being accepted, you may attempt to pay using PayPal.

Alternatively, you may contact us if you are still facing problems with regards to payment and we'll do our best to assist you.

Shipping Questions

Unfortunately, shipping and logistics providers have reduced air freight capacity and frequency at the moment.

The most cost effective line of shipping is through the shipping carrier we offer. We are unable to provide priority shipping until further notice from our providers.

After we ship your order, you will receive your shipping confirmation email along with a tracking number within 24 hours. We ship all our orders with tracking numbers so our customers can monitor the location of their package at all times. However, we seek your understanding and patience as due to the international delivery. These are some things to take note of while you await your package:

Delivery date – International orders delivered via express shipping can take between 5 to 15 business days. Sometimes there can be a delay in customs, so you may find you will need to wait a few more days.

Delivery address – Was your delivery address entered correctly? Orders are delivered based on the address you indicated on your order.

Delivery Signed– If you notice that the tracking indicates that the package has been signed for, be sure you check with your neighbors, building reception or anyone living with you if they received the package on your behalf.
