Ordering, billing and shipping:

When you place your order, you will be given an estimated delivery date. If you have chosen to pay by credit card, we will not bill your card until the order has shipped. For all other payment methods, we will charge you immediately when you place the order.

We keep very small amounts of stock, but work closely with local manufacturers to ensure the time between your order being placed and your goods arriving is as short as possible.

We are currently working with manufacturers in Japan, The United States of America, and Latvia.

Orders may be fulfilled by any of our manufacturing partners, including goods ordered for delivery in Japan being manufacturered in and shipped from the USA or Latvia

Where possible, we will always use the closest partner to ensure speedy delivery. However, due to capicity and other logistical reasons, we might need to use a further away manufacturing parter.

The price you pay for the goods and the cost shipping of those goods will remain the same.

Sometimes, it can take up to 10 business days for some products to be manufactured and ready to ship.

Standard shipping may take up to 14 days after manufacturing.

We will update you by e-mail on the status of your order.

Pictures shown are for illustrative purposes only. The goods may appear to be a slightly different colour when they arrive due to standard variations in materials and printing techniques.

Batch limited orders

Some of our products are marked and sold as “batch limited”. These products will only be shipped once the threshold for the batch is reached. On most products, that batch target will be 50 items.

If the product does not meet its batch target number of orders, then you will not be charged and you will not receive the product.

If you order using Visa or MasterCard, we will charge your card as soon as the batch target is reached. Due to how PayPal works, PayPal orders will be billed immediately. If the run does not meet its batch target, PayPal orders will be refunded.

Cancellation:

You may cancel your order within 24 hours of placing it.

Batch limmited orders may be cancelled at any time before the batch target is reached.
