Shipping times can vary depending on factors such as customs, holidays, and other delays.
- In the event that your package is lost during shipping, we will provide all available information to assist you in filing a claim with the shipping carrier.
(Please note that we are unable to file claims on your behalf.) - Any additional fees or delays caused by a specific country’s customs are the sole responsibility of the customer.
