SHIPPING, RETURNS, AND FAQ

SHIPPING

Your order will be shipped within 1-2 business days. Standard First Class shipping generally takes 3-5 business days to arrive after being shipped (depending on where in the US you are located; we ship from Whittier, CA). For a faster delivery, you can upgrade your shipping to Priority Mail (please note that the handling time of 1-2 business days will still apply). You will have multiple shipping options at checkout including UPS. Please be aware that we are not responsible for any deliver times/delays by the shipping services.

For international orders, shipping will not be covered and you will have multiple shipping options at checkout ($10 to $30 depending on location and weight). Orders that are shipped via USPS First Class International takes approximately 7-28 business days depending on location. For an additional fee, orders can be upgraded to Priority Mail International which takes 6-10 business days depending on location.

If you place an order from a country outside of the United States, you may be subject to applicable customs, import duties and taxes, which are the sole responsibility of the buyer/receiver. Additionally, the order may be subject to applicable customs inspections and holds which may cause a delay and are the responsibility of the buyer/receiver to resolve. 

FAQs

Are your items in stock? When can I expect the items to be shipped out after I've placed my order?

Unless stated otherwise on the product page (for group buy or preorder items), an item is in stock when you can add it to cart. We will ship out your order within 1-2 business days. Should an item be out of stock, it will reflect that when you try to add the item into your cart. We update our stock inventory accordingly.

When will you restock an item?

Most of our keysets are limited and is usually an one-time run due to the lengthy production time of each set. Some sets will get re-produced but usually through a pre-order as it is difficult to simply restock the item. If you like a set, be sure to secure it, as it is most likely not going to get reproduced.

Do you ship internationally? 

Yes, we ship worldwide using First Class International, Priority International, and Priority Express International. First Class generally takes 7-21 business days (no guarantees), Priority International takes 6-10 business days with a tracking number and Priority Express International that takes 3~5 business days with a tracking number. All delivery times are estimated and varies by country.

Are my international packages tracked?

All Priority International and Priority Express International are tracked until it reaches the destination. These packages are also insured up to $200 in case of loss or damage.

For First Class International, there is no guaranteed delivery, which compensates for its low cost. So, use this method at your own risk! We are not responsible for any lost or damaged items. The number that you receive is usually not a tracking number, but a customs number.  First Class packages are not insured.
According to the USPS, tracking for First Class International is only available if package is delivered to the following countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Hungary, Israel, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey.

Why isn't my tracking updating?

Please allow at least 24 hours for the tracking to update. You receive a shipping notification when we process the shipment, but it will take some time for the courier to actually receive the item and scan it. Please also note that with USPS, they fail to scan the packages as well, which results in no tracking updates.

When do you fulfill orders?

We fulfill orders on Monday-Friday. We are closed on the weekends and on some major holidays. If you place an order on a Friday, please expect your order to be fulfilled the following week.

What do I do if my item got lost or damaged?

The only packages that are insured are USPS Priority Mail and UPS. If you have used these methods and your item got damaged, please contact us and we will help resolve it on your behalf. If the item has been marked as delivered and you claim that it is lost, we will not be responsible. The best thing to do is to ask your neighbors or your local mailman to confirm.
