- What payment methods do you accepts?
We use PayPal's secure interface to accept payment. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can still use Visa, MasterCard or Direct bank transfer . Note that you are NOT required to open a new PayPal account just for this purchase.
Note: Sometimes PayPal is too strict and may reject your credit card even though it may be a valid one. Unfortunately, that is beyond our control and we suggest that you try another credit card instead.
- Where is my order shipped from?
We airmail directly from Hong Kong, China to all over the world, and local shipping is partially available for customers from USA. You are able to enjoy such low prices and even worldwide free shipping because we take advantage of the lower operating costs (in warehousing and logistics) and we bypass the middlemen.

The default free shipping option is via Standard Air Mail (Postal Service). If you are in a hurry, then you still have the option of our Expedited Shipping.
- What is the normal shipping time?
The shipping time is approximately 3-5 business days. Most orders will arrive well within the advertised timeframe. The timeframe is an estimation and NOT a promise or a commitment. Occasionally, there may be slight delay due to variation of postal service in different regions, customs inspections, public holidays, weather etc. These are beyond our control.
