FAQ

  1. How are international orders shipped and what is the transit time? 
    International Orders are shipped by DHL Worldwide Express. Delivery time varies but is estimated at 7-14 business days, depending on your country’s customs regulations and procedures. If you don’t receive your package within several weeks, check with your local post office and local customs office as they could be holding your package for payment of duties.
