As you know, currently we are in the pandemic period. Different countries have introduced different measures including restriction of flights and movements. It has affected the shipping times and cause delay to many shipments. This is beyond our control as a seller and also beyond the couriers control as it involves the Customs Department of the different countries in the world and also flight restrictions too. We have previously put the shop on vacation mode for this reason. Recently, we have made several shipments to the US and UK and have found that the parcels have arrived within a reasonable time frame (1 to 2 weeks). As such we are re-opening the store for accepting commissions. Whenever a commission is completed and shipped, the customer will be provided with a tracking number. However, as a seller, we cannot be held responsible or liable for any delays in shipment. By placing an order, you have fully understood that we, the seller, is not responsible for any delays in shipment. (The seller only make and sell the item. Shipment and delivery is done by the couriers. Couriers will depend on the Customs Department for clearance of items and will also depend on availability of flights to the country of buyer).
