INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:
You are responsible for any applicable duties/taxes/customs fees. We will NOT mark packages as a gift or undervalue the contents, please do not ask us to do so. This is breaking a federal law!
We have no control over how long your country holds a package in customs and cannot guarantee international delivery dates. We will promptly mail your package, but after it leaves our hands we have no control over how long it will take in transit/customs.
* USPS 1st class mail - The most economical overseas shipping method for small packages, but a very slow method. While the majority of packages arrive in 1 - 3 weeks it can take up to 5 weeks for your package to be delivered.
* USPS Priority International - 10 - 15 days on average
* USPS Express Mail - 5 - 10 business days on average.
A note about weather shipping and delays:
There is always the possibility of unforeseen emergency delays. Even if your area is not impacted, weather related delays can delay your package nationwide and worldwide. Luckily these occurrences are rare but they do happen. Over the last few years we have encountered delays from severe ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, airport security issues, earthquakes and even volcanoes. In the event of these occurrences we will work closely with you to help resolve any issues.
If you live in an area prone to severe weather (tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, etc.) we recommend you allot additional time to meet your delivery deadlines.
A note about packaging:
Many of our miniatures are very small and may be separately wrapped in bubble wrap. Please be sure to carefully remove ALL of your items before discarding boxes and packing materials. Items may be placed inside other items (larger arbors, bridges, etc.)
