COVID-19 announcements

Shipping times may be impacted. This is because of fewer passenger flights (due to COVID-19), and standard shipping utilizes the cargo area of these planes to courier packages. Your understanding is appreciated. Delays (if any) vary from month to month. 

For faster shipping services, DHL and SF Express are options.

Shipping prices, especially for expedited shipping are increasing due to high fuel prices. As a reference, have a look at the Fuel Surcharge (38% as of July 2022) and Peak Surcharge that Fedex charges. 

The war in Ukraine and Covid-19 are both disrupting supply chains and pushing up logistic costs and fulfilment times. These are challenging times and the environment is constantly changing. Thank you in advance for understanding if there are shipping issues that arise.
