Delivery

Pre-orders

Sometimes we introduce new products as 'pre-orders' before they are ready to send.
These items can still be ordered like any other item but carry certain conditions that apply to your whole order (delayed shipping). There is always a notice on the at the top of the specific product page as well as the shop & cart pages notifying customers about the status of pre-order items. These notices contain the expected shipping dates which we will kept up-to-date in the unlikely event of unforeseen delays.

Customs

Depending on the law in the country of delivery, products purchased may be subject to tax or import duty.
The shop is not responsible for paying any such tax or import duty and is unable to define or pre-collect any such taxes or duties. If you are unsure or have questions about tax/import duty, please contact the appropriate local customs office before placing an order, as this is out of the shop's control.
Payment of duties & taxes must be made prior to, or on receipt of goods. Delayed response may incur further charges, so it's advised you pay as soon as possible.
