Shipping, Returns & COVID-19

Shipping

We can ship to most addresses in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to certain destinations. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we despatch orders on Tuesday and Friday, and are required to lodge parcels 24 hours before despatch for customs pre-clearance..

When you place an order, we calculate the shipping cost based on the weight and the shipping options you choose. We offer four shipping options online - DHL eCommerce (Packet Plus mail) and Singapore Post (Registered Airmail, Speedpost Standard and Speedpost Express). All our post shipments are registered to allow tracing where possible.

Note that these methods all have wide weight breaks. This may affect orders with multiple small, light items where there can be a difference between the calculated and actual shipment weight that results in higher shipment costs. We will refund this difference to you if this happens.

Singapore Post Registered Mail is delivered through the International Postal Union network. Transit takes between 7-18 working days under normal circumstances. It is limited to 2 kg shipping weight. Online tracking is available to the point of departure from Singapore and in some countries after that.

Speedpost Priority is delivered by either local postal service or their courier partners. Transit takes between 7-18 working days. It is limited to 20 kg shipping weight. Online tracking is available.

Speedpost Express is delivered by either local postal service or their courier partners. Transit takes between 3-7 working days. It is limited to 20 kg shipping weight. Online tracking is available.

Speedpost Economy is delivered by either local postal service or their courier partners. Transit takes between 3-15 working weeks. It is limited to 20 kg shipping weight. Online tracking is available.

Once your order has been despatched you will receive and email with the trace number and a website address for tracking the shipment. If you do not receive this please check your "spam" or "junk mail" folder in case your email program has rejected the message.

We can offer other shipping options such as DHL Express Courier or FedEx. If you wish to use these, please contact us directly with your order and we will arrange a quotation.

Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next ten grams.

COVID-19

COVID-19 has lead to a number of impacts on worldwide deliveries. Where we are aware countries are under Temporary Mail Suspension, we have disabled our mail service calculations.

- DHL eCommerce is operating to most destinations, with some reduction in service depending on local restrictions. The final delivery is done by local mail services. We are seeing some delays in processing inbound international shipments, notably Australia which is taking 5-6 weeks.

- Singapore Post have resumed most services. We see delays in many countries due to slower inward parcel clearing.

- Speedpost has resumed some air services, but with higher pricing. Surface shipment is available to some destinations, this will take 6-18 weeks depending on destination.

- Express services are running through DHL and Fedex. We have not yet added rates for these services so please contact us directly for them.

Please check the status of your local mail network before ordering. Some countries have modified 'signed-for' delivery protocols.
