8. Do you offer International Shipping?
Yes we do, however, only for specific range of items - determined by considerable bulk and the weight of the item(s).
You will be able to see your shipping fee after you've keyed in your address at checkout. If your item is not available for international shipping, a message will appear notifying you of the same.
We are not able to offer international shipping for certain items. Any overseas orders for the following items will be refunded. Items include (this list is not exhaustive):
- Most Toy Brands and Mealtime Products - Crazy Forts, Educational Insights, Edx Education, eitech, Green Toys, GummyBox, HABA, IVI Play Rugs, Jellystone, Learn & Grow, Lubulona, Marcus and Marcus, Magna-Tiles, Miniware, Petit Collage, Plus-Plus, Sentosphere, Smart Games, Taf Toys, Teifoc, Tickle Your Senses, Three Wood Shop and Waytoplay
- Personalised Keepsake Boxes
- Selected Jellycats
International deliveries may incur additional customs and taxes charged by the country the items are entering. These costs are not covered under the shipping fee you pay us and you might have to pay for these additional charges in order to receive your shipment.
9. How long will International Shipping take?
It usually takes up to 15 business days to be sent to your country. However, in light of the current COVID-19 situation, there could be delays to certain countries.
This does not take into account any delays if for any reason your item is held by overseas customs inspection and clearance. Delivery times are only estimates and may not be the actual delivery standard experienced.
You should receive a notification from your postal service on where you can collect your order. Please contact your local postal service with the tracking number for more details.
Please note that we are unable to instruct any overseas postal services to contact you prior to delivery or provide them with specific delivery instructions (e.g. leave at riser or hang at gate).
10. Do you offer regular (untracked) mail?
We no longer offer regular (untracked) mail because increasingly, our service provider has not been able to help with missing or delayed packages to and from our customers. It is important for us to offer a trackable mode of postage to ensure that our customers are fully informed of their order status and receive their packages promptly.
11. How do I send gifts to two or more different addresses?
Each order will be delivered to only one address. You will have to create two orders if you would like to send two gifts to two different addresses.
12. Will my package be insured?
All packages will be shipped uninsured and our liability ends upon acceptance of the package by the post office or third-party courier service. We will not be responsible for goods lost or damaged in transit.
13. How long will shipping take if my order contains pre-order items?
We will indicate in the product description when your pre-ordered items are likely to arrive. If your order contains both pre-ordered and readily available items, it will only be shipped once all your items have arrived. If you wish to receive the readily available items first, please cart the items out in two separate orders.
